Best Acne Busters

Zits happen… are you ready to embrace the bumpy road to clear skin? Acne is like that annoying relative who shows up uninvited to every family gathering. Just when you think you’re rid of it, it pops up again, making its presence known on your face. But fear not, my fellow acne warriors! We’re here to guide you on how to tackle those pesky pimples with a smile on your face. Check out the following best acne busters that we’ve found, tested and approved!

 

Acceptance – To love or not to love

Let’s face it, we’ve all had moments when our acne resembles a topographical map of the Himalayas. But if you can’t bring yourself to accept these unwanted facial guests, then the first step is to wash the bacteria away – and for this, we recommend the best of acne clearing cleansers:

• Société AHA Exfoliating Cleanser. A perfect choice for moderate to severe acne and oily skins
• Osmosis Purify. For all skin types, this cleanser will clean the skin without stripping and drying it out

 

DIY Remedies – The Quirky Kitchen Chronicles

You’ve heard of Windex, perhaps even the old toothpaste trick, but beware! These old wives tales do nothing other than dry out your skin, leaving your protective barrier impaired and prone to even more inflammation – which means more acne in the long run. What you really need to do is to calm the skin down and strengthen the barrier and for this, you can not go past our knight in shining armour below.

• Osmosis Rescue. The clue is in its name – this serum will literally rescue your skin

 

Miracle Cures – Unicorn Tears and Fairy Dust

If you’ve browsed the internet, you know there are countless miracle cures out there. From ancient Egyptian mud baths to slathering your face with unicorn tears (if you can catch one, that is), the options are endless. Remember, scepticism is key! Stick to evidence-based treatments recommended by professionals, rather than chasing mythical creatures for skincare solutions. And as your skincare professional, I am here to recommend a brilliant acne serum:

• Aspect Dr Problem Skin serum. This magical serum will regulate oil production, keeping clog pores at bay.

 

The Acne Whisperer – The Mask of Victory

Developing a consistent skincare routine is crucial. Treat your skin with kindness and give it the TLC it deserves. Wash your face with a good cleanser, pat it dry like a fluffy cloud, layer your serums and apply a moisturiser that will make your skin sing with joy. And if you’re feeling extra adventurous, try some face masks that make you look like an extra from a sci-fi movie. Our favourite is:

• Cosmedix Clear Mask. This will draw impurities out of your skin, leaving it smoother and more refined.

 

Caressing the acne – Love it to (literal) death

Drying out acne is NOT the best idea. Hydrate your skin and it will heal faster and be less inclined to flare up again. But be careful not to use heavy oils. Using a light moisturiser is best, and you can’t go past:

• Osmosis Quench. Just the right balance for you and old mate, acne. Not too heavy, not too light. Just right.

 

The Invisibility Cloak – Disguise Your Acne

Why let acne cramp your style when you can turn it invisible? Channel your inner Harry Potter and grab an invisibility cloak (AKA concealer). We have many that work wonders, but we especially love:

• Osmosis Age Defying Treatment Concealer . Easily blended and redness reducing, this is one of my favourite makeup products
• Jane Iredale Zap and Hide. Using tea tree to naturally remove bacteria, this is a dual action treatment and concealer. Love it!

 

The all in one approach – When money and time are in the way of clear skin

• Aspect Clear Skin Kit. Containing everything you need to treat and fight acne, at an affordable price, and suitable for everyone, including tweens and teens!

 

Blinded by the light – A tale of the acne serial killer, LED

• Omnilux Clear. The ultimate defence against the enemy. This at home device really is pulling out the big guns. Using red and blue LED lights, this fights acne causing bacteria as well as calming inflammation and redness.

 

Life’s too short to let acne ruin your day. Keep fighting the good fight, and may your skin be as clear as a cloudless sky!
