A consistent skincare routine can go a long way in treating acne-prone skin. Here is a step-by-step guide to an effective skincare routine that you can adopt to manage your acne better-

Step 1- Start with cleansing
Start by washing your face twice daily with a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser to get rid of debris, oil, and other pollutants that can clog pores and make your acne worse. Look for ingredients in your cleanser that can soothe your irritated skin. The Mei Skin Asia Gentle Vitamin-Rich Cleanser contains cucumber extract and is rich in important vitamins, minerals and ceramides. This hydrating cleanser effectively cleans your face without stripping it of its natural oils.

Step 2- Follow up with a hydrating toner
Using a toner after cleansing your face can enhance your acne treatment further by helping you balance your skin’s pH balance. The Mei Skin Asia Gentle Aqua Balancing Toner is designed to provide instant hydration and even out your skin tone. Biosaccharide gum-1 or ‘SMART sugar’ in our toner has anti-aging properties that leave your skin feeling velvety soft.

Step 3- Pack it all with a good serum
Next, use a good anti-acne serum to treat the root causes of acne and stop breakouts in the future. These serums generally include chemicals that exfoliate dead skin cells, unclog pores, and control oil production, such as salicylic acid, niacinamide, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs). Spread a tiny bit of serum evenly over your face, paying particular attention to areas that are prone to congestion and large pores. The Mei Skin Asia Pore Clearing Serum removes excess oil production and cleans clogged pores. The star ingredient in this serum is salicylic acid known for its effectiveness against acne. It exfoliates the skin and acts as an anti-inflammatory agent.

Step 4- Use spot treatment next
Use a spot-on acne gel to concentrate on active outbreaks after cleaning. Look for products with components like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, which aid in reducing inflammation, eliminating germs that cause acne, and accelerating the healing of blemishes. Spot-on Acne gel should be applied thinly, avoiding healthy skin, to the afflicted areas alone. Let it absorb completely before proceeding to the following step. The Mei Skin Asia Spot-On Acne Gel offers a clinical-grade solution to help calm down red and inflamed acne spots. This gel contains salicylic acid, which is renowned for its exfoliating properties, effectively dissolving dead skin cells. The Spot-On Acne Gel is a must-have for anyone dealing with occasional or persistent acne. It’s suitable for various skin types, especially those prone to breakouts.

Step 5: Hydration with an oil-free emulsion
Even for skin prone to acne, it’s imperative to maintain adequate hydration. Choose Mei Skin Asia Oil-Free Hydrating Emulsion for lightweight moisture that doesn’t clog pores or exacerbate acne. Seek for components that draw and hold moisture in the skin without adding more oil, such as hyaluronic acid and glycerin. Distribute the emulsion evenly over your face and neck, rubbing it in gently until it absorbs completely.

Step 6: Wrap it up with effective sun protection
Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen to shield your skin from damaging UV radiation after your morning routine. Select an oil-free, non-comedogenic solution with SPF 30 or greater, and reapply as needed during the day, particularly if you plan on remaining outside for long periods of time. The Mei Skin Asia Natural Light-Weight Sunblock SPF30 is a 100% mineral filter sunblock ideal for sensitive and redness-prone skin. This sunblock keeps your skin hydrated while strengthening the skin barrier and protecting your skin against environmental aggressors.
