Hello, skincare enthusiasts!
My name is Angelique, and I’m a qualified skincare therapist based in Cape Town. With over 11 years of experience in the industry, I am thrilled to be a part of acne.org.za and help guide you on your journey to beautiful, brighter skin.
In this blog post, I’ll be walking you through a basic skincare routine that I swear by, especially if you’re dealing with acne. Whether you’re new to skincare or just looking for tips to enhance your routine, these steps are designed to help you achieve healthy, glowing skin.
Step 1: The Perfect Cleanse
Cleansing is the foundation of any good skincare routine.
If you wear makeup, this step is where double cleansing comes into play. Start by washing your face with dry hands and a dry face to ensure that your skin fully absorbs the ingredients in your cleanser.
This allows the product to work its magic before it gets diluted by water.
• Pro Tip: Leave the cleanser on for about a minute to maximise its benefits before rinsing it off.
Step 2: Moisturise, Moisturise, Moisturise
After cleansing, it’s time to apply your moisturiser. I love this product because it’s thin and doesn’t leave your skin feeling oily or clogged throughout the day. If you’re new to skincare or starting a routine, use this moisturiser for at least two weeks, morning and evening, before introducing active ingredients. This helps ensure your skin barrier is fully healed and ready to handle more potent products.
Step 3: Sun Protection—Your Daily Essential
Sun protection is the most crucial step in your skincare routine, especially if you have acne. Acne-prone skin often has inflammation, and exposure to the sun can lead to post-inflammatory pigmentation, which is challenging to eliminate. Apply sunscreen every morning and keep it handy for reapplication throughout the day.
Step 4: Nighttime Routine—Maintenance and Treatment
Your nighttime routine is where the magic happens.
After cleansing, apply your treatment products. I’m particularly excited about the combination of benzoyl peroxide, which helps heal and dry acne.
Here’s how I recommend using it:
• Treat: Use benzoyl peroxide two nights in a row.
• Maintenance: Follow it with a maintenance product on the third night.
This rotation allows the treatment to dry out the acne while the maintenance product sheds dead skin cells, revealing brighter skin.
