Think of it like gauging your ear. Once it’s stretched, it stays that way.
So first, get those blackheads extracted—ideally by an esthetician. You can also do it yourself, but you have to be very gentle.
Exfoliation is also crucial, especially on the nose. That area—your T-zone—has larger pores, which get clogged faster. Regular exfoliation helps prevent buildup.
So, there are two key steps: Start exfoliating the area consistently, and get professional extractions. If you decide to visit an esthetician, you should book a facial that includes extractions. The esthetician will then remove the blackheads. If you try to extract them at home and do it incorrectly—as most people do—you can cause hyperpigmentation. Then, not only do you still have clogged pores, but now you also have dark marks. So, it’s often better to let a professional handle it.
To care for body acne, exfoliate 48 hours before the event to reduce redness and inflammation. That gives your skin a chance to calm down before you're in public.
Brands like Naturium have body washes with ingredients like 2% salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or niacinamide. These help treat and prevent body acne and reduce irritation and redness, which can boost confidence in your skin.
The key is hydration—drinking plenty of water and using products with water-heavy ingredients, like those found in Korean skincare, can give you that high-gloss look without making you oily.
Oily skin is caused by overactive sebaceous glands. So if you're naturally oily, it’s a bit harder to reduce that oiliness just with hydration. To help balance things, use ingredients like salicylic acid to control oil production while continuing to hydrate. That combination can help create the appearance of glass skin.
For a younger person, a hyaluronic acid serum would be great for you. Pair that with a water-based moisturizer, and that combo should definitely do the trick.
However, if you're struggling with acne, you’ll need targeted treatments in addition to hydration. So, Korean skincare is great for people with normal, dry, or combination skin—not necessarily those needing corrective care. The added hydration can also help reduce oil production in oily skin types, so for those people, it would be beneficial as well.
