FAQs
How do I incorporate new products into my skincare routine?
The best way to welcome new products into your skincare routine is to introduce them slowly and one at a time. This gives your skin the chance to get comfy with each new product and helps you pinpoint any potential reactions to a specific one. So, give your skin a good 1-2 weeks to get acquainted with each new product before you bring another one into the mix.
I just started a new product and I’m breaking out.
Purging is entirely normal, though it may feel a bit inconvenient initially. It's a temporary spike in acne that can occur when you start using a new product that speeds up cell turnover, like retinoids or exfoliating acids. This process usually goes on for about 6 to 8 weeks. Although it might seem a bit challenging at first, the payoff is clear, radiant skin. So, hang tight, and remember, it's a phase that leads to better skin health!
