Breakouts and blemishes are no reason for harsh skincare. This selection cleanses the skin and supports its balance: face wash gels with tea tree and charcoal, masks with neem and Multani Mitti, and a night cream for breakouts. Acne is a skin condition that cosmetics do not treat. If your breakouts are severe, see a dermatologist first.

How to choose a product for blemishes

• Tea Tree Face Wash Gel – daily cleansing for skin with blemishes.
• Activated Charcoal Face Wash Gel – a sebum-regulating formula for skin prone to oiliness.
• Anti-Blemish Cream (Night) – for skin with breakouts, dark spots and uneven skin tone.
• Multani Mitti Mask – a traditional Ayurvedic clay that cleanses the skin.
• Neem Leaf Mask – neem has been used in Ayurveda for centuries for skin with blemishes.

How to build your routine

Evening: wash gel → rose water toner → night cream.
Once a week: a clay or herbal mask.
Morning: gentle cleansing, cream and SPF sunscreen.

Frequently asked questions

Which cream should you use for acne?

Cosmetics do not treat acne; they can only support the care of skin with blemishes. Moderate and severe acne requires a consultation with a dermatologist.

Does clay dry out the skin?

It can if you use it too often. Start with once a week, and apply a cream after the mask.

Should you squeeze pimples?

No. Squeezing worsens inflammation and leaves dark spots.

How soon can you see a difference?

Skin renews itself in a cycle of about a month, so draw your first conclusions after about 4 weeks of regular care.
