A product you could add or replace in each step of your routine to brighten it up

You've probably heard by now for smooth glowing skin, skincare is more important than makeup. But especially in the winter microdust, pollution, oxidants and dry air leave your skin looking dehydrated, tight, tired and overall greyish.

Changing one product in your routine to a brightening product could make a world of a difference. Brightening could happen in many ways - exfoliating clears up the skin, anti-oxidants protect your skin against external stimulants and reduces production of melanin, ferments and propolis hydrate, etc.
Finally, if your skin needs a boost, without caking on lots of primer and foundation try a tone-up sunscreen or the Missha glow skin balm to get it there

Treating acne depends on whether you have active breakouts - which focus on soothing and healing, and post breakouts - which focuses on reducing blemishes and marks while repairing the barrier.

Adding these steps will ensure that your breakouts heal properly, don't get bacteria in them, and doesn't leave lasting marks.

Breakouts are never fun, but how you treat your skin during a breakout has lasting effects on how it heals and whether it leaves its mark on your skin.

A lot of acne scarring is genetics, if your skin produces a lot of melanin that congregated in the area as your acne is healing, then you'll still have to use post-acne ingredients to treat them. However, new scars are always easier to fade than older scars, and keeping the area bacteria free and not picking at it or irritating it will go a long way

When recommending moisturizers they usually fall into 2 categories, gel-types that are more hydrating and meant for oily/combo skin types, and thicker creams that are heavier emollients for normal/dry skin types.

Some people may also choose to use a lighter moisturizer during the day, and a thicker moisturizer at night.
