Real talk, that bump that showed up out of nowhere after you just tried a new skincare, had you spiralling a little, didn’t it? 😜
Wait wait wait, don’t rush to throw it out yet, you might just be purging!
This is the bit that could be a bit confusing, your skin is constantly renewing itself, and certain ingredients just speed that process up.
So what looks like a step backwards is often your skin doing exactly what it‘s supposed to.🌟
A reaction, however, is different. That’s your skin telling you a product or treatment isn’t quite right for it.
A reaction could be a burning sensation, a rash, series of little bumps, these are your skin telling you that it is not reacting well with what you have just put on.😨
The two can look confusingly similar at first glance, which is exactly why so many people either give up too early or push through when they shouldn‘t.
But don’t worry, we’ve got the comparison table ready for you.💚
Screenshot this one! Next time you‘re second-guessing a breakout, run through it before you chuck your new skincare away!
Also side note, a good tip would be to always patch test your new products before applying to your whole face! Saves you lots of trouble!🌿
