Acne Prone Breakout Treatment

Breakout-prone skin can be challenging.

While there are no easy fixes, establishing the right skincare regimen – and sticking with it – can bring clearer skin within a matter of weeks.

• A gentle cleanser and non-alcohol toner are the foundation of a good strategy against breakouts.  OZNaturals® Ocean Mineral Facial Cleanser deeply cleanses pores without stripping the skin and triggering more oil production.  The glycolic acid in our Ocean Mineral Toning Mist also helps by penetrating the pores and encouraging skin cell turnover.
• Many acne products are harsh and contain irritants that can make the situation worse.  Avoid drying bar soaps, alcohol toners, and aggressive scrubbing.
• Retinol helps to unclog pores, fight blackheads and reduce breakouts.  Our Pro-Retaxinol 2.5® Retinol Serum helps increase cell turnover and expose newer, clearer skin.  Use nightly after cleansing and toning.
• Gentle exfoliation another important step.  Avoid harsh scrubs – the irritation can cause additional oil production. Using our Bamboo Enzyme Facial Scrub two to three times a week keeps dead skin cells from clogging pores.
• Think you don’t need to use a moisturizer? Think again.  Your skin still needs hydration and antioxidants and allowing it to dry out will only stimulate more oil production.  A lightweight moisturizer, such as OZNaturals® Sea Infused Herbal Moisturizer is a good choice to use after cleansing, toning and any serum application.
• As tempting as it may be, don’t try to remove pimples or blackheads yourself by pinching or squeezing.  You can damage your skin and lead to further irritation. 
• Keep your hands away from your face.  Your hands carry bacteria, which play a huge role in breakouts.  Wash your hands before applying makeup or touching your face. Wash your pillowcase frequently, too.

All OZNaturals® products are non-comedogenic and contain no lanolin or mineral oil.  Let our selection of recommended products be your first step towards healthier, clearer skin.
