Most common questions used to investigate
Do you use retinol?
Do you exfoliate your skin?
Do you want to introduce new product into your skincare routine?
Do you wear make up?
Common conclusions
When new ingredients, such as retinol, facilitate increased cell turnover, which causes clogging and increasing breakouts, skin purging occurs. You should be patient and try using the product once in the first week, twice in the second week, three times in the third week, and so on until you are using the product everyday or every other day.
It is OK to exfoliate your skin but when you are overdoing it, you are also getting rid of all those healthy skin cells, which protect your skin's natural barrier. Skin purging most commonly occurs in reaction to chemical exfoliants and retinoids.
You need to slowly introduce a new product into your routine to give your skin some time to adjust. You should try using the product once in the first week, twice in the second week, three times in the third week, and so on until you are using the product everyday or every other day . You should also keep in mind that since implementing a new product, a breakout on your skin may not be the sign of a purge, but may be a normal breakout, and there are a few things that you can bear in mind to help you identify the difference.
You should keep it to a small amount and use oil-free face items if you choose to wear makeup throughout a purge. For instance, if you usually have dry skin, that may make your symptoms of purging even worse.
Great! You should avoid wearing make up because your skin needs break.
