Korean Beauty For Every Breakout
To ensure you effectively tackle acne head on, no matter how or where it appears, we’ve put together our list of Korean Beauty for every breakout. If you’re looking to tackle whiteheads, blackheads, cysts, pustules, congestion and more, this is the list you need!
Acne occurs when pores clog with dead skin cells and sebum. When the clog occurs near the top layers of the skin, whiteheads or blackheads form. Deeper clogs cause pimples and acne cysts.
In order to effectively tackle your acne, it’s important to identify what kind of breakouts you have. The key types include blackheads, whiteheads, pustules, cystic acne, and bacne.
These develop when a pore is clogged without a layer of skin protecting it. When this happens, the open pore and gunk inside is exposed to air and oxidizes (giving it the black colour we know and hate).
The best method to prevent blackheads is to regularly exfoliate to boost skin cell turnover; thereby avoiding clogged pores altogether!
The Best Products to Use: Cinnamon Toast Sugar Scrub Foam
This is a great treatment for clearing the dirt, oil and buildup the clogs the pores and contributes to blackheads and breakouts. It not only contains naturally exfoliating sugar crystals but also contains a natural BHA in the form of Willow Bark extract.
This scrub was chosen by Women's Health Magazine as the "Best K-Beauty Scrub".
Whiteheads appear when pores become clogged with dead skin cells, sebum and or bacteria. Got one of those annoying and very awkward pimples brimming with a head that’s white? Hydrocolloid acne patches are the solution.
The Best Products to Use: Subi’s Perfect Pimple Patch help drain whiteheads of their fluid while protecting damaged skin.
These ones are thin enough to wear day and night, so there’s no need to interrupt your treatment if the pimple hasn’t cleared by the next morning.
For best results, make sure you leave your patch on until all the fluid has been drained from the pimple and is picked up by the patch.
You’ll know your patch is ready to be removed when it turns white (this means the pus has been transferred from your skin onto the patch!)
A pustule is a bulging patch of skin full of yellow pus. These spots show up when you have some sort of infection your body is trying to fight it off with white blood cells. The result is a mixture of infected fluid and dead white blood cells. When this builds up under your skin or in a pore, it can cause a pustule.
Unlike other types of acne, pustules involve an infection. For this type of acne, we recommend consulting a dermatologist.
Cystic acne involves large, red and often very painful breakouts rooted deep within the skin. These breakouts are often infected and can sometimes linger for years causing scarring, amongst other issues. Seeking the advice of a doctor or dermatologist should be your first step, as true cystic acne rarely clears up on its own.
The best treatments for cystic acne involve the use of Vitamin A(aka Retinol). There are skincare solutions and medicated solutions containing different forms of Vitamin A.
