We’ve all been there—your skin is behaving, and then suddenly, a breakout crashes the party. Don’t panic! At Skin Bytes, we believe that with the right tips and tools, you can calm the chaos and restore your glow.
Step 1: Don’t Pick
Tempting as it is, picking only leads to scarring, more inflammation, and delayed healing. Hands off—your skin will thank you!
Step 2: Ice It Down
Wrap a clean ice cube in a soft cloth and gently press it on the breakout for 30–60 seconds. Icing helps reduce swelling, redness, and inflammation fast.
Step 3: Use a Clay Detox Mask
Apply a detoxifying clay mask to draw out impurities and excess oil. Look for ingredients like:
Kaolin or Bentonite Clay – Absorbs oil and clears pores.
Salicylic Acid – Breaks down build-up and unclogs pores.
Tea Tree Oil – Naturally antibacterial and soothing.
Use 1–2 times a week, especially on oily or acne-prone skin.
Step 4: Stick on a Pimple Patch
Hydrocolloid patches protect the breakout, absorb impurities, and prevent picking. Leave one on overnight for best results.
Breakout Crisis Routine
Cleanse – Use a gentle, non-stripping cleanser.
Tone (optional) – Choose calming or clarifying formulas.
Clay Mask – Spot treat or apply to breakout-prone areas.
Hydrating Serum or Gel Moisturiser – Keep the skin barrier supported.
Targeted Spot Treatment – Only on active breakouts.
SPF (AM) – Protect healing skin from UV damage.
Final Tip:
Breakouts are normal. Stress, hormones, diet, and weather can all trigger them. Stay consistent, hydrate, and use breakout-friendly ingredients to support your skin through the flare-up.
