Blemished, acne-prone skin? You must have an oily skin type, right? Think again…
Katherine Daniels Co-Founder and Therapist, Kirsti Shuba says:
It is so common for those experiencing blemishes and congestion to just assume they have an oily skin type, as that’s what people assume causes spots. They then go on the attack using harsh, oil correcting, stripping and drying products trying to treat the issue, but this is often the biggest (and an expensive) mistake you can make! Acne and blemish-prone skin is not just reserved for oily skin types – in fact, congestion is often caused by toxins trapped in dehydrated cells. Plus, stripping the skin of its natural oils and moisture will destroy the skin barrier leaving it unprotected and vulnerable, creating a vicious cycle and worsening the issue.
