Purging skin - is it good or bad? Is it really not that bad? Maybe it's even good? :-) And what is the difference between purging skin and breakout? OK, let's start from the beginning.
We refer to the term of "skin purging" when our skin gets reaction to some skin actives (like vitamins, exfoliators, retinoids, etc.) which help to increase skin cell turnover a little faster. Our beautiful skin starts to shed dead layers of old skin cells faster, but some uglies hide under this dead layer of skin too - like excess sebum and all kinds of buildup and shedding skin, which has to come up to the top first, before your new, beautiful skin surfaces. Purging usually appears on the spots where you would typically breakout and lasts for a shorter time than pimples from breakout.
Put it simply, purging is a phase on the road to a nicer skin. Please, be patient. The skin cycle takes around 28 days, it's totally worth it to wait for your new, beautiful skin to surface.
Dermatologists usually say it can take 4-6 weeks, but you should contact a doctor if it takes longer than that.
There is not much you can do with skin purging timeline, but some tips to help your skin:
1: Use mild cleanser and moisturizer/cream for sensitive skin.
2: Don't pick on your pimples or impurities. Instead...
3: Try to get some nice, mild facials to help with impurities.
4: Continue to use the product, even your skin purge from it.
5: Don't use harsh skincare, like peels, acids or exfoliants!
6: Always use a sunscreen, extremely important!
At the end, skin purging is not bad. Simply speaking, it just speeds up the process of skin cell renewal, which is actually good. :-)
Even if we don't use retinoids in our serums or creams, we do use highly concentrated actives and some mild exfoliating ingredients, like LACTIC ACID, which is very beneficial to MATURE SKIN and almost any skin type. VITAMIN C and NIACINAMIDE which are known for incredible benefits to skin, N-ACETYL GLUCOSAMINE which can work as mild exfoliator and many more ingredients specifically blended to give your beautiful skin the best results possible.
Please, always try to patch test our products first, due to our highly concentrated actives. Every ingredient in our product has a purpose, we don't use it as a simple filler. We love to give our customers the best we can achieve.
I started using these products & my skin is very smooth, firm and glow. I love ingredients in these products. Thank you
