Hey skin warriors! If breakouts are still getting the best of you, don't worry—you're not alone. After going through a stubborn breakout myself, I've gathered a few simple yet effective tips that really made a difference. Let's break it down:

1. Double Cleanse – Start with micellar water or an oil-based cleanser, then follow up with your usual face wash. This removes sunscreen, dirt, and bacteria—great for clearing forehead bumps.

2. Watch What Touches Your Face – If you're getting cheek breakouts, clean anything your skin touches often: pillowcases, phones, towels, brushes, sponges. And try not to touch your face throughout the day!

3. Air-Dry Your Skin – Towels can harbor bacteria. Let your skin dry naturally or pat with a tissue for a more hygienic option.

4. Keep Skincare Simple – Too many products can irritate your skin. When breaking out, stick to the essentials: cleanser, toner or serum, exfoliant/retinol, moisturizer, and sunscreen in the morning.

5. Try Skin Cycling – Alternate treatment nights and rest days. It balances results without overloading your skin barrier.

Be kind to your skin—it takes time, but small changes can lead to big improvements!
