Is Your Skin PURGING?

Have you experienced redness, irritation or breakouts after starting a new skincare routine? For some people, adding a new active ingredient that promotes skin cell turnover rate can trigger skin purging, but it is not necessarily a bad thing! We are all familiar with the saying “it gets worse before it gets better.” This applies to skincare as well! 
Skin purging is an inevitable step to achieving the radiant skin you have dreamt about. All things come to those who wait! Skin purging refers to your skin reacting to a newly added retinoid or anti-aging product that accelerates the cell turnover rate… AKA it’s doing its job! 
Increasing your cell turnover rate means your skin is shedding dead cells faster than normal. Your skin must purge out all the stuff that’s beneath the surface! After this phase, your skin is left looking clear and youthful. The purging period may look different for everyone but can include whiteheads, blackheads, pimples or dry peeling. 
If you are experiencing purging, it may be tempting to stop treatment as soon as possible and try to calm the irritation but the best thing to do is to wait it out for at least one skin cycle. The duration of skin purging is different for everyone, but consulting with your assigned dermatologist throughout this process is recommended. Patience is truly a virtue when you’re on your way to glowing skin. 
Our Skin Regeneration Set increases skin turnover rate, so skin purging may happen but try not to stress too much about it! It can be annoying, but that means it’s WORKING!
Skin purging is temporary and a sign of recovery.
