My skincare routine has given me spots that now wont go away

15th October 2024

Answer: The products you were using may not have been right for your skincare issues. Redness is a sign of inflammation which could be caused by over use of active ingredients such as salicylic acids, retinols or detergents.
This inflammation leads to water loss, dryness and flaking. The skin\'s response can be to over produce oil / sebum to correct the skin's disrupted pH When oil tries to emerge from the pores but hits a "lid" of tight, dry or flaky skin, the oils can build up, blocking the pores leading to formation of spots

I'd suggest using a simplified routine of a gentle, detergent-free face wash (make sure there is no sodium laureth suphate) or even a natural oil or creamy cleanser - massage gently into the skin for a minute then wash off with a clean face cloth and tepid water, rinse the cloth, repeat.

This will help to gently exfoliate the skin to release the blocked pores. Don't dry your face Apply a bland unfragranced moisturiser - look for creams that contain ceramides, omega essential fats or cholesterol to help repair skin barrier

We offer video-call and in-clinic skincare consultations for personalised skincare regime and treatment advice which can be booked online from our website or by calling us - our contact details are in our clinic profile

This test helps identify the root causes of your acne, allowing for a more targeted and effective treatment approach.
