Treating problematic skin doesn't have to be difficult and it all comes down to dispelling the myth that oily skin is over hydrated. Actually in most cases it's dry. The focus on treating problematic skin is adequate exfoliation and hydration.
So we start with an exfoliating cleanser. This not only has enzymes to start breaking down dead skin debris and sebum but also it has exfoliating pearls that help to remove those dead skin cells. We then go into an exfoliating polish.
This further helps that mechanical exfoliation to get rid of the debris on the skin. After that it's all about the chemical exfoliation. This has two percent salicylic acid which helps dissolve the blackheads in your skin and then locking it all in with hydration.
We must adequately hydrate our skin because if problematic skin gets dry then your pores get clogged and your blackheads become far more frequent.
