Got specific skin concerns? It’s time to embrace active ingredients!
Spring is in the air and, even better, summer is *just* around the corner! With the sunny season well and truly here, we’ll be spending more time socialising and showing off some skin. So, if you still want to tackle any persistent skin concerns, such as dullness blemishes, scarring and texture, here are the active ingredients to add to your skincare and bodycare routines for a glowing complexion.
Breakouts
Want to make sure you’ve got your face and body blemishes under control for the warm season? The most popular, and dermatologist-recommended, ingredient to treat acne is salicylic acid. It is a beta-hydroxy acid (or BHA) and can penetrate your pores to remove buildup and exfoliate. It can also make your skin smoother as it treats texture issues, too.
Because of its exfoliating capabilities, salicylic acid can also help to reduce the appearance of acne scars and marks on your body. And no, you don’t need to apply a whole jar of facial serum to reap the benefits! Just make the switch to a body cleanser that contains this versatile ingredient.
What’s more, when you combine salicylic acid with all-rounder and skincare hero, niacinamide, they work together to further reduce scars, prevent breakouts and smooth the skin.
