Acne and pimple breakouts are a regular skincare worry for millions of people around the world of all ages and skin types. Treating breakouts effectively requires a good understanding of your skin type, the underlying issues, and the best remedies to work on your particular skin. This article provides a comprehensive guide on managing different skin types and managing your next breakout. 

Understanding Different Skin Types

Skincare for oily skin 

Oily skin is characterized by a shiny appearance which makes it more prone to pimples and blackheads. Part of the reason is that oily skin can have enlarged pores allowing more debris to gather.

As part of a skincare routine for oily skin, you should be looking to control excess oil on your skin through cleansing. Another good tip would be to avoid using makeup and skin products that can block pores and lead to blackheads.   

Skincare for Dry Skin

Dry skin has the opposite characteristics of oily skin, and complaints for this skin type include flaky and rough textured skin with a dull complexion. 

This skin type can be prone to irritation because it is lacking the hydration needed to keep it supple and healthy. 

As part of a skincare routine for dry skin, you should look for products that can provide intense hydration and moisturizing effects. If you need to unblock and unclog pores consider a gentle exfoliator instead of harsher facial scrubs. A good facial cleanser will maintain the skin barrier and retain protection of the skin from the elements. 

Skincare for Combination Skin 

Combination skin features a mixture of oily and dry skin types. Typically this will present with an oily t-zone along the forehead nose and chin of the face. Cheeks will either be normal and hydrated or dry and flaky. 

To optimize your routine for this combination skin type, create a balanced routine that can fix both the excess oil production in the t-zone and the dryness if needed on the cheek area. 

Skincare for Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin needs to be managed carefully to ensure that it doesn’t react to products, ingredients, and processes used in your skincare routine. 

If you suffer from sensitive skin you will recognise symptoms including skin that is easily irritated, itching, redness, and reaction from certain ingredients. Acne breakouts might be more tender for this skin type due to soreness already existing in the skin before a breakout. 

The key to working with this skin type is to use soothing products that help protect the skin barrier without any harsh chemicals or fragrances. 

Skincare for Normal Skin

Normal skin just means skin that is well-balanced and does not suffer from being too oily or too dry. This skin type tends to have fewer outbreaks and imperfections but is still capable of suffering from acne, particularly if pores become blocked leading to blackheads. 

A simple maintenance routine works well for this skin type using cleansing lotions, moisturizers, sun protection and target acne products when required.

How Acne Affects Each Skin Type 

Oily Skin suffers from the overproduction of sebum from sebaceous glands in the body, leading to an excess of oil and blockages in the pores. This all adds up to more frequent acne breakouts. 

Managing acne breakouts on oily skin should focus on oil-free products such as the Tarel Sensitive Cleanser, Mangostin+ Breakout Gel, and Mangostin+ Breakout Vector Patch. 

Dry Skin most commonly lacks moisture, leading the skin to go into oil production mode to compensate, which can cause breakouts. To treat acne on dry skin it is important to avoid harsh exfoliators and instead use a gentle product. Tarel Sensitive Cleanser is a good choice for dry skin. 

Combination Skin requires help with controlling the oily t-zone areas and dry cheek areas. This can be challenging as both areas require different approaches, however, a product like Mangostin+ Breakout Vector Patch can be used to accurately and effectively target pimples directly on both areas

Sensitive Skin can become inflamed and triggered by certain products or ingredients so it is best to choose gentle and soothing options. Tarel Sensitive cleanser is a good choice for achieving this, as is the targeted Mangostin+ Breakout Vector Patch for only delivering the bioactive ingredients accurately to the site of a spot where they are needed to fight the breakout of acne.
