How often to exfoliate if you have acne-prone skin?

If you have acne-prone skin, it is beneficial to exfoliate your skin 2-3 times a week. You may lessen this to 1-2 times a week, depending on how sensitive your skin is. Exfoliation is incredibly helpful for acne-prone skin types as it will help to reduce excess sebum and oil created on the skin and will remove impurities and dead skin, revealing a brighter complexion.

Should you moisturise acne-prone skin?

Yes! Moisturising is important for all skin types! Although you feel like avoiding moisturiser if your face feels oily, it is incredibly beneficial to moisturise the skin to keep it hydrated and reduce irritation, especially if you’re using acne treatments that dry out the skin. Try a water-based moisturiser that will feel lightweight and soothing on the skin.

Can I use facial oils blemish-prone skin?

Yes! If you have oily/combo/acne-prone skin, you might think you need to stay away from facial oils, but certain types of facial oils can actually prove to be beneficial for the skin. Facial oils, like our Australian Jojoba, will often give these skin types much-needed hydration.
