Acne & Breakouts
Daane, keel-muhaase.
A calm routine for breakout-prone skin in Pakistan's humid, polluted air: balance oil with 10% niacinamide + Zinc PCA, keep moisture on, and use the glycolic cleanser once daily — not morning and night.
Three common causes.
Pakistan's warm months trap oil, sweat, and pollution on skin — a mild daily cleanser matters more than a harsh one.
Layering scrubs, strong acids, and alcohol toners weakens the barrier and makes breakouts angrier. Simplify.
Oily and acne-prone skin still needs hydration — dryness triggers more oil, not less.

- 01Water rinse
