Got acne-prone skin? Beauty expert Blossom Kochhar advises avoiding creamy products | Fashion Insights

For those with acne-prone skin, Dr. Blossom Kochhar offers several recommendations to help manage breakouts effectively:

Avoid Creamy Products: Opt for gel-based formulations over creamy ones to prevent clogged pores.
Cleansing Routine: Use a medicated cleanser twice daily, followed by an anti-acne serum and a lightweight, gel-based sunscreen. Consistency is crucial.
Gentle Exfoliation: Use gentle exfoliants with AHA or BHA in gel form, avoiding harsh physical scrubs to prevent aggravating the skin.
Facial Oils: Steer clear of facial oils; if using essential oils like Juniper Berry or Lemon, ensure they are diluted before application.
Check Ingredients: Avoid greasy or heavy products with triglycerides and fatty acids. Prefer non-comedogenic products that don’t block pores.
Identify Acne Type: Determine if acne is hormonal or due to external factors to treat properly.
Pillowcase Hygiene: Change pillowcases frequently to prevent oil, sweat, and bacteria build-up that can cause breakouts.
Overall Care: Monitor diet and consider hereditary factors, alongside following the skincare routine.
