Acne-prone skin: Your new daily regimen

Beauty editor: Lauria Locsmondy

Zits happen (sometimes a lot) to everyone, and the journey to clear skin can be a bumpy ride. With so many products and promises, often a simple, gentler regimen is all you need.

Pro tips for AM:
1. Hydrate with products containing hyaluronic acid which visibly plumps skin.
2. Elixirs with natural exfoliating AHAs can gently tone and brighten skin.
3. Protect skin that’s under treatment with a moisturizing SPF made for highly sensitive skin to steer clear of irritants.

Pro tips:
Over-cleansing can irritate skin and further breakouts. Exfoliate gently, just once a week, and utilize mud masks more frequently to clear pores. And remember to hydrate delicate eye areas for a full-face regimen.

Pro tips for PM:
Serums can be more comfortable than moisturizers for hydration. Salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide are effective overnight (and daytime) spot treatments.
