MORNING REGIME
Step 1: Facewash
Removing excess oils, dust, dirt, and pollutants from your face is essential. However, your face should not feel dry and stretched after face wash. You can wash your face a maximum of three times a day. You can choose from the following list based on your skin type:
Here are a few brand suggestions:
- SebaMed Clear Face Cleansing Foam for combination skin prone to sensitivity breakouts
- Bioderma Sebium Cleansing Gel for oily skin type prone to sensitivity breakouts
- Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Cleanser for non-sensitive oily skin
- Mama-earth Tea Tree Foaming Face Wash for red pimples.
- Cera Ve Renewing SA Cleanser is a good choice for very oily skin.
- Homemade face wash for oily skin is worth a try for organic lovers.
Step 2: Morning treatment product
Apply The Ordinary Niacinamide serum on the entire face. It helps in reducing red scars because of its anti-inflammatory action. Niacinamide also prevents new acne and brown spots.
Put Differin acne scar gel as a spot treatment on red scars to expedite the process.
Step 3: Sunscreen
Thick sunscreen can increase acne. Therefore, use a lightweight sunscreen in gel or fluid form. Re-apply it 30 minutes before stepping out in the sun. Avoid using sunscreen indoors to avoid unnecessary clogging of pores. Here is a lightweight sunscreen that is less likely to occlude your pores:
In addition, avoid heavy makeup or layering of products. You can put lightweight makeup on top of the sunscreen.
AFTERNOON REGIME:
Wash your face in the afternoon if your skin feels oily. Suppose you can’t wash your face at the workplace, then wipe your face with cotton dipped in micellar water to remove excess oils and give an instant matt look. Re-apply sunscreen 30 minutes before going out in the sun.
NIGHT REGIME
Remove makeup with micellar water rather than a cleansing lotion and apply retinol serums to reduce oil secretion, open pores, and acne while delaying the signs of aging.
Brand suggestions:
- CeraVe Skin Renewing Retinol Serum has ceramide that recovers the skin barrier, and Niacinamide reduces inflammation.
- Olay Regenerist Retinol 24-Night Serum also has Niacinamide.
Put Differin acne scar gel as a spot treatment on red scars to expedite the process. If your skin feels dry and stretched after morning or night treatment products, apply Sebamed face clear gel.
WEEKLY REGIME
Avoid harsh scrubs or peels. You can put Mamaearth Niacinamide Bamboo Sheet Mask twice a week to soothe your skin and promote the healing of red scars.
