Our experts have the answer
What is blemish-prone skin?
What makes blemishes worse?
- Scrubbing or washing your skin too hard: This can irritate the skin and cause inflammation, which can lead to more blemishes.
- Using harsh soaps or chemicals: These can also irritate the skin and make blemishes worse.
- Using non comedogenic makeup products: Comedogenic products that can clog pores, which can lead to breakouts. Where possible, try to opt for oil-free makeup and remove makeup regularly and properly. We recommend double cleansing to give your skin the best chance at a blemish-free, even skin tone.
- Picking or popping pimples or spots: This can spread bacteria and cause infection, which can make blemishes worse and lead to scarring.
- Touching your face throughout the day: This can transfer dirt, oil, and bacteria to your skin, which can lead to blemishes.
- Stress: Stress can trigger the release of hormones that can worsen acne.

To summarise, "blemish-prone" encompasses a broader range of skin imperfections beyond just acne, while "acne-prone" specifically refers to skin that is more prone to developing acne lesions. Both terms highlight the skin's tendency to experience different types of skin irregularities, emphasising the need for appropriate skincare and treatment to address these concerns effectively.
