Be gentler at home regimens. Cleanse no more than twice a day, over washing will strip the surface oils and lipids that keep it supple. When shopping, look for products with salicylic acid to break up pore-clogging sebum and skin softener like glycerine. However, if your skin is extra-dry alternate, wash only with mild product and don’t forget to moisturize. And, if you only face a pimple or two a month just rely on acne products for treatment.
