Hey there, skincare enthusiasts! If you’ve been battling stubborn breakouts, you’re not alone. Acne is the most searched skincare problem for tweens and teens—and for good reason. Changes in hormones, oily skin, and clogged pores can make keeping your skin clear feel like a full-time job. But don’t worry! We’ve got your back (and your face!) with easy-to-follow tips and Facely products designed to help you glow with confidence.
What Causes Acne?
Before diving into solutions, let’s quickly talk about what causes acne.
Here are the most common culprits:
- Excess Oil (Sebum): Hormonal changes can make your skin produce too much oil.
- Clogged Pores: Dead skin cells and oil can mix together and block your pores.
- Bacteria: When bacteria get trapped in your pores, it can cause inflammation, redness, and those pesky pimples.
- Stress and Diet: Stress or eating too much sugar can also lead to breakouts.
The good news? Acne is manageable—and Facely is here to help!
Your Acne-Fighting Routine
Say goodbye to breakouts with this simple, step-by-step routine featuring some of Facely’s top-rated products.
1. Cleanse the Day Away
Start and end your day with clean skin. Washing your face helps remove dirt, oil, and makeup that can clog pores.
Try Facely Squeaky Clean Cleanser—a gentle, sulfate-free formula that cleans deeply without stripping your skin. It’s perfect for sensitive tween and teen skin!
💡 Pro Tip: Use lukewarm water, not hot, to avoid irritating your skin.
2. Target Those Breakouts
If pimples are popping up, it’s time to target them! Look for products with acne-fighting ingredients like salicylic acid.
Facely’s Spotless Spot Gel is a game-changer. These discreet, hydrocolloid patches not only reduce redness but also protect your skin from picking (which we know is tempting!). Stick one on before bed, and wake up to calmer skin.
💡 Pro Tip: Keep a few patches in your bag for on-the-go emergencies.
3. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
Even oily skin needs moisture! Skipping moisturiser can make your skin overcompensate by producing more oil.
The Facely Lightweight UVA SPF 50 Moisturiser hydrates without clogging pores, leaving your skin soft and balanced.
4. Protect Your Skin
Did you know sun exposure can make acne scars worse? Daily sunscreen is a must—even when it’s cloudy.
