Breakout Prone

Breakouts don’t always mean oily — often, skin is stressed, unbalanced, or overworked.


What’s Really Happening

Breakouts can come from many places:

  • Over-stripping the skin

  • Heavy or pore-clogging products

  • Hormonal shifts

  • Stress or inflammation

The goal isn’t harsh treatment — it’s balance and consistency.


Common Signs

  • Frequent or recurring breakouts

  • Congestion around chin, jaw, or forehead

  • Skin that feels oily but dehydrated

  • Sensitivity alongside blemishes


What Actually Helps

  • Gentle but effective cleansing

  • Lightweight hydration (yes — hydration matters)

  • Ingredients that support clarity without irritation

  • Patience and routine consistency

Avoid:

  • Scrubbing aggressively

  • Overusing actives

  • Drying spot treatments daily
