A common yet challenging skin condition, acne can be frustrating. While many individuals face this condition in certain stages of their lives, many others experience it for longer periods of their lives. However, it is not impossible to eliminate or minimize acne breakouts. With the right skincare routine and the use of quality products, you can manage and reduce breakouts effectively right in the comfort of your home. In this blog, we shall explore the different skincare DIY and grooming products for skincare that you can incorporate into your everyday routine.
Skin care routine at home for acne
Follow these step-by-step acne skincare tips for beginners and experts to achieve clearer and healthier skin with minimized acne.
Gentle Cleansing
Start with a gentle cleansing of your face every morning and before bed. Use a gentle, non-comedogenic product and add a few drops on your Vega 3 In 1 Facial Cleanser with Hypoallergenic-Food Grade Soft Silicone Bristles. Its 9500 Sonic Vibrations Technique and 10 Adjustable Vibration Speed Settings help remove dirt, oil and makeup from the face gently and effectively. It is skin-friendly and perfect for deep pore cleansing, skin firming and skin radiance.
Skin Exfoliation
You can use the very same Vega facial cleanser to exfoliate your skin 1-3 times a week in a gentle manner. Ensure that you use a gentle exfoliation product if needed and use this magical tool to help penetrate deeply into the pores to clear out impurities and reduce inflammation.
Facial Steaming
Facial steaming is definitely one of the most effective acne skincare routines to follow once or twice a week. The Vega Mistify Facial Steamer with Rapid Superfine Mist is a fabulous and relaxing way to achieve healthy skin at home. Its wide range of features make it easy to use and a convenient facial steamer for all:
- One-touch Operation
- Steaming 40°C Temperature
- Steam Outlet: 9 mm Diameter
- Water tank capacity of 220 ml
- Auto Cut-off
- Indicator Light
- 30 minutes runtime
- Ready to use in 30 seconds
You can use a facial steamer after cleansing your face for about 5-10 minutes to open up your pores. Additionally, it helps promote blood circulation, soften skin and give a natural skin glow effortlessly.
Power of Toner or Serum
Also a routine to be included every morning and night before bed, applying a toner or serum that suits your skin type and skin concern help balance the pH levels of the skin. Ensure that you invest in an alcohol-free toner or serum. Use a Vega cotton pad to apply a toner a few minutes after cleansing and exfoliating (if applicable) your skin.
Blackhead Removal
The use of a blackhead remover tool may not be regular, but you should definitely have one in your skincare kit. The Vega Blackhead Remover tools are available in two types – pointed & round tips and pointed and spoon extractor. They are made with stainless steel material which makes them corrosion-free and safe for all types of skin. The best use of a blackhead extractor is after taking a facial steam as the skin tends to get softer, making it easy to extract the blackheads gently. Ensure that you avoid excessive pressure during use to prevent skin damage.
Bonus Tips
While this weekly and daily skincare routine for acne proves helpful, you must also consider a few other essential points:
- Drink plenty of water throughout the day to maintain skin and overall health. Hydration helps support the natural barrier function of the skin and prevent breakouts.
- Indulge in a balanced diet that is rich in vegetables and fruits. Also practice stress management with activities such as meditation, yoga or exercise.
- Change pillowcases and towels regularly to reduce the spread of acne-causing bacteria.
- Avoid touching your face to minimize the spread of bacteria that causes acne.
- Consult a dermatologist immediately in case of persistent or severe acne for professional procedures.
Implementing these steps will help you in managing your acne and improve your skin health to a great extent. Be determined to not skip your skincare routine and have patience as acne treatments can take some time to show results.
