I’ve read that when you start a new skin care routine your skin will get worse before it clears up. Is this true?

    i think not

  2. stacies mom says:

    I’ve never heard this. But it makes sense because your skin needs to get used to the new skin routine. And it may act up a little before it gets used to it, or if it even gets used to it at all.

    Yes. New products - New routine. Anything you use on your skin gets worse before it gets better.

    Yeah, most of the time your skin will get slightly red and dried out at first.

    If you have anything stronger than that happen though, see your doctor and stop using the product ASAP.

    it is not always true.. but, if you old skin care routine was working for you, there is no reason you should have changed it. it may take your skin a while to get use to this new routine

    I guess it is possible if you have never been exposed to certain chemicals, but I would imagine that it shouldn’t.

    sometimes the new ingredients can br irritating to the skin causing inflammation or the pores purge causing a breakout-

    Honestly I’ve never heard of that, the point of skin care routines are to rid your pores of whatever is inside of them. The fact also is that everyone’s body will react differently to all types of products. Personally, I wouldn’t want to do it, but if you have witnesses or people that have used this product and are happy with it, then go for it.

  9. 360 says:

    Yes that can happen. I have experienced that before. Only use a little bit of the products when you first start out so that you can let you skin build up a tolerance to. Also, remember to use a good moisturizer.

    Usually not. Your skin may be irritated or dry for a while, especially if you’re using harsher products than you’re used to. Just moisturize and remember to use your products often even though they may irritate. It’ll get better!

  11. Cari says:

    Yes, using some products will cause your skin to purge [which is sometimes a good thing] and this really is just getting the gunk out of your pores and bringing them to the surface. Once the purging face is over, [ it lasts about a week ] your skin will just keep getting better.
