Does everyone have a purging phase?Updated 7 months ago

No, not everyone experiences skin purging. However, for those who do, it is temporary and will not last indefinitely. Breakouts typically begin forming beneath the surface of the skin up to two months before they appear. Once formed, they must eventually come to the surface. Purging occurs when new skincare causes these underlying breakouts to surface sooner than they naturally would. This process dislodges congestion beneath the skin, accelerating the clearing of impurities, which can make it seem like breakouts are worsening initially. With continued use, the skincare routine will effectively remove dead skin cells, excess oil, and bacteria—the primary causes of breakouts—while nourishing the skin, ultimately leading to a clearer complexion.
