Skin Purging: What is it?

Do you ever wonder why when you start a new skin care routine your skin suddenly looks 10x worse than it did before?



If this happens to you, don't freak out and try something else instead. When it happens, it could actually mean that the skin care you are now using is doing way more for your skin than the last one.
The cause of all this? Skin Purging.

When you change up your skin routine with new products or a new facial care tool, the impurities beneath your skin are brought up to the surface. It may make your skin look worse then ever, but relax, it will go away soon.

The usual time frame for this to happen is somewhere between a few days to a week. Once this week is up, your skin will look better than ever!



NOTE: There is a fine line between purging and harming. If your breakouts have gotten worse from a face wash or new routine and stay that way for weeks after, you may be having an allergic reaction. Keep a close eye on it.
