The unexpected cause of adult acne

Are experiencing stubborn adult acne, scaliness or even eczema?

And you’ve tried everything – facials/creams/secret Nordic remedies. Perhaps except your cleanser.

Because cleansers are kind of in the toilet paper category.

We pick what’s convenient and don’t mind which one as long as you have one. I mean, it goes on and off quickly so it shouldn’t matter, right?

Except it does.

Why? Because of the nature of cleansers – they remove oil.

Oil, specifically oil our skin produces – is like a frenemy.

It is the barrier protecting us from dryness and external elements. Our skin barrier is like a bouncer, without it we invite in all sorts of company in the form of acne, irritation etc.

Yet too much of oil can clog pores, leading to more blackheads and acne (again!).

So how do you know if your cleanser if your cleanser isn’t right for you?

Here are 5 signs.

1. Tiny bumps
flesh-coloured bumps around sides of face and forehead.

2. Oily & dry
skin is oily, yet surface feels dry

3. Tight & sheeny
feeling cling-wrap tightness and all over shiny-ness like a freshly peeled hard boiled egg.

4. Consistent breakouts
new pimples every few days, no matter what anti-blemish products you use.

5. Grey dullness
subtle wash of grey tone all over the complexion

Before you rush out to buy another cleanser, have a seat my friend.

Your new cleanser is probably not going to be goldilocks-level either, because it wasn’t designed to be just right for you.

Instead, use your current cleanser just once daily at night, and use water to cleanse in the morning. You’ll see improvements within 3 days.

Try it! And write me if it helped. 🙂
