Skincare routine for acne and why lifestyle also matters

In today’s episode, we will be discussing skincare routines, lifestyle, and acne. We will begin by providing an overview of what is happening at the surface level, including how acne develops. This can be the result of a larger set of issues, such as stress, diet, exercise, and sleep. For example, an imbalance between our gut-skin connection can lead to a leaky gut, which allows pesky bacteria to enter the bloodstream, and create more problems.

We will also explore what may be potential triggers for acne and how we can counter our breakouts with skincare routines and lifestyle changes. It is recommended by dermatologists to rinse our skin with warm water to prevent acne, especially as tight clothing, sweating and infrequent washing lead to breakouts. Most importantly, we want to make sure that we use gentle products on the skin that are alcohol-free. While these methods work as preventative measures, it is also important to consider lifestyle changes and skincare routines in order to get the best results.

Based on our own personal clinical experiences, we share some of our best skincare routines and advice on clearing your acne. Interested in learning more? Join us on today’s episode as we provide our best secrets on skincare routines, how to improve skin barrier support and skin microbiome, as well as how our diet, sleep and exercise impact acne.
