Acne-Prone Skin
Acne has multiple causes and can range from mild breakouts to a medical condition that needs treatment. Cosmetic skin care can support a routine, but GlowBling does not diagnose acne or replace treatment from a dermatologist.
COMMON CHARACTERISTICS
What people often mean by “acne-prone skin.”
Recurring blackheads or whiteheads
Inflamed breakouts may occur
Skin can be oily, dry or combination
Irritation can worsen when too many active products are layered
BEAUTY CONSIDERATIONS
A calmer starting point.
Use a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser.
Look for non-comedogenic products when clogged pores are a concern.
Avoid repeatedly switching treatments before they have had time to work.
Do not pick or squeeze lesions; this can increase the risk of marks and scarring.

WHEN BEAUTY CONTENT ISN'T ENOUGH
Painful, scarring, persistent or widespread acne should be assessed by a qualified clinician. Prescription acne treatment is outside GlowBling's scope.
