When you increase your skin cell turnover, any pimples that were lurking under your skin are brought to the surface faster and may appear all at once. This is known as ‘skin purging’ and is different from breakouts that may happen if a skincare product doesn’t agree with your skin. • ⭐️: So how can you tell the difference? • 🟢: Breakouts due to skin purging: ⠀⠀ 1️⃣:Happen in the areas of your face where you would usually experience breakouts. 2️⃣:Clear up faster than usual, especially if you continue to use the product. • 🔴: Breakouts due to a reaction: • 1️⃣: Happen in the areas of your face where you wouldn’t usually experience breakouts. 2️⃣:Take longer to clear up and won’t clear up if you continue to use the product (stop using the product ASAP if you suspect you are experiencing a reaction rather than purging). • • 🔶: WHAT DO I DO IF MY SKIN IS PURGING? • Thankfully, purging shouldn't last long. Most purging lasts for only about a month, which is the amount of time that it takes for your skin to renew. If your skin is purging, you need to stick with the new routine/product - use it as much as you're supposed to, according to directions. Using product improperly can exacerbate purging and breakouts. • Remember, that even if a product does have the potential ingredients to purge, doesn't mean it's just purging - these products still have the potential to cause actual breakouts and irritation, and this is why it's important to only try one new product at a time, and give it due time to work. • • 🔷: WHAT DO I DO IF MY SKIN IS BREAKING OUT? • If your skin isn't improving after 8-12 weeks of use, you need to ditch that product immediately, because it's just not right for your skin for whatever reason. • Once you stop using that product, go back to your "normal" or old skincare routine before the new product to return some consistency and normalcy back to your skin before trying another new product. • ⠀⠀ ⭐️:Hopefully, now you are well-equipped to understand the difference between purging and breaking out. • 👉:If you have any question don’t hesitate to post in comment section 👇🥰 . . . #spill_secrets_of_life #skincareblogger #bloggerstyle #breakoutskin (at Wiltshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCOMf_xpVaV/?igshid=1tsb9fu7h35da
