How to Treat Purging Skin | Everything You Need to Know About Purging Skin and How to Treat It

The cosmetics you use can make all the difference between giving your skin a natural glow and a disturbing experience. When you’re trying new products, it’s not uncommon to experience a condition referred to as purging. This can scare many people because they mistakenly believe that they’re having an allergic reaction to the substance. However, purging is simply your skin's way of adjusting to a new product. 

Facts Regarding Purging Skin 

Now that you understand the concept of purging skin, here are some facts that you should know about the condition: 

• It’s temporary: There are many people that mistake purging with their skin having an adverse reaction to a product. For example, if you use a product on your face and notice that you’re suddenly breaking out, there is a chance that your body is simply going through the purging process especially if there is a chemical in the product that increases the natural process of skin renewal. However, if the appearance of your skin doesn't improve after six to eight weeks, you are likely allergic to the product. 
  
  

• Be conscious of the ingredients: If you notice purging, you should always confirm the ingredients in the product. For example, a product that contains lactic acid, retinol or salicylic acid has is a stronger chance of generating purging because these are active ingredients to promote skin renewal.

• A pimple nightmare: One of the leading reasons why purging tends to be a source of concern for many people is the appearance of having a breakout. The severity of your purging episode typically depends on your skin type. For instance, if you’re prone to breakouts, you may notice that your skin’s purging response may be more noticeable as opposed to someone that only has occasional breakouts. Remember, you should always avoid the temptation to squeeze these pimples as it could lead to more skin problems or an unsightly appearance. 

Although purging can be a frustrating or embarrassing condition, it’s also perfectly natural. Once your purging episode is over, you can look forward to enjoying clean and healthy-looking skin.
