A basic 5-step routine to get rid of acne

Growing up, I used to have easy-to-care-for, acne free skin. I rarely had pimples, let alone full-blown acne breakouts.
But, everything changed when I hit my 20s. I would get red, angry pustules on my cheek and I couldn't figure out why. I hadn't changed my simple 2-step cleanse and moisturise skincare routine in years, so why was my skin only acting out now?
Through a lot of trial and error, I experimented with different products to try and attain the skin I used to have in my youth. I still get an occasional pimple, but my skin now is calmer and smoother. These products are what I use and hopefully, it will help some of you out too.

4. Moisturise
After the acids have been absorbed into the skin, it’s best to protect and replenish the skin with a moisturising barrier. If cream moisturisers are too thick for you can clog the skin, try using a lightweight serum instead. It gets the job done just as well.
