Previously, when I had acne, I was recommended by those beauty consultants to try out a tea tree scrub. I wasn\u2019t knowledgable at that time and tried it. After using the scrub, my acne condition got worst though tea tree is suppose to help in acne.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-521145c\" data-block-id=\"521145c\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\"><strong>Exfoliation by mild peeling induced by chemicals in low concentration<\/strong>, such as salicylic acid,&nbsp;<strong>is good for you skin<\/strong>.

However, I would caution against using strong chemical peels. In the past, when I had acne, I went to a famous General practitioner(GP) that does aesthetic for my acne problem. She\u2019s very popular in forums. Her clinics are always packed and there\u2019s always a long waiting time. I can\u2019t remember how many chemical peel sessions I went through with the doctor but I do remember that the chemical peels were increasingly stronger and after the last few sessions, my face was very red and flushes easily. The strong chemical peels left me with very sensitive skin. About after a year, I realised her treatments were not working for me and so I stopped going to her.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-4f51d0a\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"4f51d0a\"><style>@media screen and (min-width:690px){.stk-4f51d0a {flex:var(--stk-flex-grow, 1) 1 calc(100% - var(--stk-column-gap, 0px) * 0 \/ 1 ) !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-4f51d0a-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-4f51d0a-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-f5cde97\" id=\"5-using-the-wrong-products\" data-block-id=\"f5cde97\"><style>.stk-f5cde97 {margin-bottom:var(--stk--preset--spacing--20, 0.44rem) !important;}.stk-f5cde97 .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:var(--stk--preset--font-size--medium, 20px) !important;}@media screen and (max-width:999px){.stk-f5cde97 .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:var(--stk--preset--font-size--medium, 20px) !important;}}<\/style><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">5) Using The Wrong Products<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-a734d49\" data-block-id=\"a734d49\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Use products with non-comedogenic ingredients.

By not using sunscreen, we are putting ourselves at risk of developing wrinkles, pigmentation, and saggy skin. A lot of acne products work by exfoliation so our skin is actually thinner while we are on acne treatments. If sunscreen is not applied, the risk of premature aging, especially pigmentation, is even higher when our skin is thin.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-e44b7c1\" data-block-id=\"e44b7c1\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Use Skinlycious Mineral Sunscreen SPF 47PA+++. Determined not to use chemical screens in our products, our founder, Jasmine, spent 1.5 years breakout out before discovering this formula that doesn\u2019t breakout her acne-prone skin.

Blotting away the oil on our face will make us feel better due to the reduced shine but this will actually trigger more oil production.

Facial tissue does not remove oil that much but it takes away the shine. You can double fold the facial tissue into a square, and use each square to dab oil away on one section of the face. Turn over to the other side and use the clean side to dab a new area. There\u2019s a total of 4 clean squares you can use to dab oil off your face.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-6fccd76 stk-block-background\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"6fccd76\"><style>.stk-6fccd76 {background-color:#f1ede9 !important;border-top-left-radius:var(--stk--preset--border-radius--medium, 8px) !important;border-top-right-radius:var(--stk--preset--border-radius--medium, 8px) !important;border-bottom-right-radius:var(--stk--preset--border-radius--medium, 8px) !important;border-bottom-left-radius:var(--stk--preset--border-radius--medium, 8px) !important;overflow:hidden !important;}.stk-6fccd76:before{background-color:#f1ede9 !important;}@media screen and (min-width:690px){.stk-6fccd76 {flex:var(--stk-flex-grow, 1) 1 calc(100% - var(--stk-column-gap, 0px) * 0 \/ 1 ) !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-6fccd76-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-6fccd76-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-ca6185a\" id=\"10-using-peel-off-pore-strips\" data-block-id=\"ca6185a\"><style>.stk-ca6185a {margin-bottom:var(--stk--preset--spacing--20, 0.44rem) !important;}.stk-ca6185a .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:var(--stk--preset--font-size--medium, 20px) !important;}@media screen and (max-width:999px){.stk-ca6185a .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:var(--stk--preset--font-size--medium, 20px) !important;}}<\/style><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">10) Using Peel-off Pore Strips<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-84e5442\" data-block-id=\"84e5442\"><style>.stk-84e5442 {margin-bottom:var(--stk--preset--spacing--none, 0px) !important;}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Not all of us suffer from serious acne.
