🧼 1. RESET – Clear the gunk, but don’t fry your face

Goal: Detox your pores without triggering more oil or irritation.

• AM Routine:

  • Splash with cool water (no cleanser in the morning if you’re oily-sensitive).

  • Apply a gentle toner with green tea or centella asiatica (calming).

  • Lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer.

  • Sunscreen with niacinamide (calms inflammation + protects skin barrier).

• PM Routine:

  • Oil cleanse with grapeseed oil or jojoba oil (removes makeup/spf gently).

  • Follow with a gentle salicylic acid cleanser (2–3x/week only).

  • Moisturizer with ceramides + peptides.

🔁 Optional Reset Tool: Once a week, use a clay mask with a drop of tea tree oil + apple cider vinegar for deep detox.

🛠️ 2. REBUILD – Strengthen your skin barrier

Goal: Stop the cycle of breakouts by healing your skin underneath.

• Add azelaic acid 2–3 nights a week (kills bacteria, lightens scars, calms redness).

• Take a zinc + probiotic supplement daily (balances gut + hormones).

• Drink 2 cups of spearmint tea daily (for hormonal balance in females).

• Eat 1 tbsp flaxseed daily for omega-3s (anti-inflammatory).

🛏️ Bonus: Change your pillowcase every 2–3 days (or sleep on a clean cotton t-shirt).

🔬 3. REFINE – Target specific acne types like a pro

Goal: Treat based on where + how your acne shows up.

• Jawline/Chin Acne: Try spearmint tea or talk to a doc about low-dose spironolactone (hormonal).

• Oily T-Zone Breakouts: Niacinamide serum + occasional exfoliation with BHA.

• Texture/Scars: Once skin calms down, add a retinoid (start slow!) + consider microneedling for scars.

🧠 Bonus Idea: Skin + Mood Sync

Track your skin like a cycle:

• Week 1: Deep cleanse + exfoliate

• Week 2: Barrier care only

• Week 3: Add in actives (azelaic/retinoid)

• Week 4: Hydration + repair focus

Sync this with your hormone cycle or stress levels if you can—acne always has a root cause.
