1) Try double-cleansing!

• Originating from the land of beauty, this Korean ritual of utilising a synergistic duo of a first-step oil cleanse and second-step foam cleanse took the whole world by storm years ago, and still reigns supreme till today for its superior, non-stripping, barrier-retaining cleansing abilities!

2) Remember to exfoliate!

• Check out our in-depth exfoliation guide here! A proper routine ensures adequate dead skin cells are sloughed off, preventing clogs and trapped dirt that may potentially lead to constant breakouts and irritation.

3) Incorporate clearing actives!

• -Powerhouse ingredients such as salicylic acid (also known as BHA, eta hydroxy acid) actively treat acne and pores by unplugging the clogs, softening the skin by reducing redness and swelling!

4) SPF SPF SPF!

• Contrary to the popular belief of worsening acne, sunscreen actually does the complete opposite! As damaging as UV rays are, they can cause further inflammation and irritation on acne, which is why you should definitely shield up every. Single. Day.
