How to safely treat a pimple for fast healing✨
@annaytime 👆🏻 Whenever I get a breakout, once it's open, I immediately start to cycle through Tretinoin, Differin, Chemical exfoliants (AHAs/BHAs/PHAs), Sulfur, and Vaseline/Cicaplast. Sulfur is another ingredient in my acne toolbox I always come back to since it's so effective at calming down my pimples without overly drying out my skin. I don't like to use Sulfur in a spot treatment format as I find it can be drying for my skin, so I enjoy it best in a mask form a la Murad's Acne Mask. Benzoyl peroxide has never worked for me as it dries and sensitizes my skin in addition to bleaching my pillowcases and towels. But even though BP doesn't work for me, I still encourage anyone who deals with acne to try it as we all have unique and different responses to skincare ingredients. And when you're treating a breakout, it's important to take a morning or evening break from exfoliation and do a hydration based routine to give your skin barrier a break. Constant exfoliation can lead to a compromised skin barrier which means irritation, redness, and a longer healing time for breakouts.
