In our journey to clear and radiant skin, stubborn acne can sometimes slow our progress. But don’t worry! At La Vivo, we’re here to help you troubleshooting stubborn acne and uncover the factors that might be blocking your path to a clear complexion. With a few simple adjustments to your skincare routine and lifestyle choices, you can achieve the glowing skin you’ve been working towards.
Use of Products
Think of your skincare routine as a well-orchestrated symphony, where each product plays a crucial role in achieving clear skin. The secret to success lies in using these products correctly and consistently. Regularity is key—skipping steps or running out of products can disrupt your progress. To maintain momentum, ensure that your skincare products are always replenished on time.
At La Vivo, we recommend using our Greenzpa Anti-Acne Facial Kit to target stubborn acne effectively. Another great option is the Hydra Vital Face Serum, which helps keep your skin hydrated without clogging pores.
Regular check-ins with us every two weeks can help ensure that your routine is on track. Avoid making changes without consulting your acne specialist, as this can set you back in your journey to clear skin.
Transparency is essential—make sure to share all the products you’re using with your acne specialist. Comedogenic (pore-clogging) makeup and hair care products can also hinder your progress, so it’s important to use acne-safe options.
Lifestyle Matters
Achieving clear skin isn’t just about skincare products—your lifestyle plays a big role too. Here are some lifestyle factors that might be contributing to your breakouts:
- Laundry Practices: Are you using fabric softeners or dryer sheets? These can leave residues that irritate your skin and cause breakouts. Consider switching to fragrance-free, hypoallergenic options.
- Diet: What you eat matters. Dairy, soy products, sushi, seaweed, iodized salt, peanuts, and peanut butter can all trigger acne for some people. Pay attention to how your diet affects your skin.
- Iodine: Iodine can sneak into your diet through vitamins, supplements, and even some medications. High iodine levels can contribute to acne, so be mindful of your intake.
- Daily Habits: Wearing hats, helmets, or shoulder pads frequently can irritate your skin and lead to breakouts. Additionally, hormonally-based birth control and stress levels can also impact your skin. Managing stress and getting enough sleep are crucial for clear skin.
