Acne-Prone Skin: Cosmetic Skin Care and Consultation
A simple cosmetic routine
Use a gentle cleanser, avoid scrubbing and do not squeeze or pick spots. Choose non-comedogenic moisturiser, sunscreen and make-up where possible, and introduce one cosmetic product at a time.
Avoid rapid-fix claims
A cosmetic product cannot promise to clear every breakout overnight. Stronger, more frequent or multi-product routines can increase dryness and irritation without improving the result.
When cosmetic skincare is not enough
Painful, deep, worsening or scarring breakouts, an uncertain rash or symptoms causing significant concern need an appropriate assessment. A Dr Sknn aesthetic consultation does not replace care of active skin disease. The priority is to avoid further irritation and avoid delaying a more suitable pathway.
Considering a cosmetic procedure
A procedure should be discussed only after the active concern and skin suitability are sufficiently clear. Ask about the exact treatment, realistic benefit, pigment and scarring risk, recovery, aftercare and whether waiting or simpler skincare is preferable.
