Step-By-Step Morning Skin Care Routine for Acne-Prone Skin

Are you tired of your skin flaring up with acne?

Nothing is worse than experiencing blemishes on your face that hurt to touch and leave you feeling less confident out in public. If you’re looking for a daily morning skin care routine to keep your acne at bay, we’ve got the perfect routine for you.

Here is the best morning skin care routine for acne-prone skin to leave you feeling clean, refreshed, and confident.

Gently Wash Your Face

Did you know bacteria and sweat can accumulate on your face and potentially clog pores at night? That’s why it is crucial to wash your face in the morning with a gentle, fragrance-free, and pH-balanced cleanser. Cleansing your face with ingredients like salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, retinol, and tea tree oil will ensure any harmful debris on the top layer of your skin is eliminated.

Avoid Exfoliation

Scrubbing your face with exfoliants can cause it to break out even more. Using gentle acne-fighting products is key to soothe irritation, calm redness, and provide beneficial ingredients that fight harmful acne bacteria.

Pat Your Face Dry

The worst thing you can do to your skin is to irritate it with harsh rubbing. Once you’ve washed your face, it’s essential to pat it dry with a soft towel before applying an oil-free moisturizer.

Hydrate the Skin

After drying your face, it’s time to hydrate the skin! Moisturizers should be gentle and offer hydrating ingredients like ceramides, glycerin, and aloe to soothe the skin. It’s vital to remember to stay away from moisturizers with fragrances, heavy oils, cocoa butter, silicone, and petrolatum.

Properly Clean Anything that Touches Your Face

Makeup brushes, beauty blenders, masks, pillowcases, and phone screens can all carry oils, dirt, sweat, and bacteria that clog your pores. It’s crucial to clean phone screens, makeup tools, and masks frequently. Pillowcases should be cleaned twice a week to ensure any harmful debris is eliminated.
