Outbreaks are the worst. These unwanted guests emerge (literally) out of the blue and tend to go beyond their reception.

And if adult outbreaks are not enough, finding an acne solution can be both stressful and disappointing. Before you throw in the towel, fight your breakouts with this three-step acne skin care routine from Eminence Organics.

Take the guesswork out of finding an acne solution Acne Advanced 3-Step Treatment System. Dermatologist Dr. Kally Papantoniou tells Hustle and bustle: "Acne skin care will focus on these four goals: cleansing, exfoliating, controlling bacteria, and maintaining a healthy skin barrier with good emollients."

First step: cleaning

One of the most common mistakes in acne skin care: over-cleaning and over-removal. disc says: "Anyone with persistent acne should avoid cleaning their skin too often (more than twice a day), especially if you use a cleanser with a high concentration of astringents like alcohol or strong detergent surfactants like sodium lauryl sulfate." Instead, opt for a gentle cleanser that removes impurities and replenishes the skin in one easy step.

Enter, Acne Advanced Cleansing Foam. This light liquid foam cleaner gently removes oil and removes clogged pores without affecting your skin's moisture barrier. Encapsulated salicylic acid (a BHA) exfoliates the skin, clogs the pores and offers temporary protection against breakouts. At the same time, a natural herbal mixture soothes the complexion and Provitamin B5 maintains the moisture balance. Vanessa T. says: “I remember that this would happen to other products: you came out of the shower and your face would be completely dry. Not this one. That's great."

Pro tip: Always (always) remove your makeup before going to bed. Dr. Papantoniou advises: "If you take the time to really take care of your skin at night, your skin can react and repair in the evenings during the restful hours of sleep … Never sleep with makeup."

Step two: treat

Follow your cleaning with an acne face mask. Beauty editors and dermatologists agree that treatments with effective ingredients like clay and sulfur are the best choice against breakouts. These acne ingredients not only fight pimples, they also prevent them from coming back and keep the skin clear for longer.

Acne Advanced Clarifying Masque is poured with not one but three types of cleaning clay. Together, they pull out impurities and absorb excess oil without removing the necessary moisture from the skin. Sulfur has natural antibacterial properties that help remove acne-causing bacteria from the pores and prevent the formation of new bacteria. Dermatologist Mona Gohara tells Marie Claire: "A characteristic feature of sulfur is its keratolytic properties, which enable it to break down the keratin in your skin. If excess sebum and bacteria clog your pores and cause a cit, the pore lining will not peel off properly, resulting in the formation of keratin. Sulfur helps regulate dandruff. “Add basil oil to soothe the complexion and you get a clear and calm looking complexion.

Pro tip: Skip the toothpaste trick. Dr. Joshua draftsman and Kenneth Howe say Women's health that ingredients that are not intended for skin care can irritate and dry your skin, which ultimately leads to more breakouts. If you're ready to swap home remedies for gentler solutions, you're in luck: Acne Advanced Clarifying Masque can also be used as a spot treatment. Christina B. tell us: "Before bed I apply it to all the breakouts I have and in the morning they are 80-90% gone, if not complete. "

Step three: apply hydrator

Hydration is the key to keeping acne-prone skin under control. DR. Eric Shweiger says to Bustle: "Even if it doesn't seem intuitive, don't stop hydrating if you have oily, acne-prone skin. If you skip the moisturizer, your skin dries out and bounces off with more oil production, which can actually lead to more breakouts. ”

However, not all moisturizers are created equal. When it comes to acne-prone skin, it's best to choose a weightless formula that moisturizes the skin without blocking it. The last step in your acne skin care is Acne Advanced Clarifying Hydrator. This ultra-light lotion is mixed with lotus extract, encapsulated salicylic acid and zinc hyaluronate to fight breakouts, reduce shine and moisturize the skin. It gets a soft, matt finish.

Pro tip: Resist the urge to pick. Picking and poking your pimples can leave long-lasting scars that are difficult to remove. If damage has already been done, Acne Advanced Clarifying Hydrator is on your side. This light hydrator is formulated with bearberry arbutin to reduce the appearance of acne-related dark spots and scars.
