Sick of breakouts? We feel your pain. Turns out they don't cease once you hit 20, even sometimes 30 or 40, sigh. That's why we're loving the new skincare range from Dr. LeWinn's Medic, with natural products that cleanse and moisturise the skin quickly and effectively, offering real relief from blemishes.

Here, the skincare experts from Dr. LeWinn's Medic share their advice and the best products for preventing breakouts.

The cause of breakouts

Blemishes are formed from an excess production of sebum (oil), which prevents dead skin cells from shedding as they would normally. When this happens, the cells mix with the sebum, becoming sticky and clogging the pore. Bacteria then feeds on the oil and debris in the blocked follicle, and white blood cells react, which causes redness, swelling, and sometimes pain.

So it is important to cleanse the skin daily- but it's also just as important to make sure you're not over cleansing it. Cleansing the skin too much will strip it of its natural oils, causing even more sebum to be produced. Using a good Salicylic Acid-based cleanser day and night can assist with this, helping to unclog pores.

A natural solution

The Dr. LeWinn's Medic Acne range targets problem areas naturally, without drying or damaging you skin. It contains high concentrations of active botanicals, which work faster and more effectively than other cleansers to fight blemishes, leaving your skin clear, soft and clean.

Follow the Dr. LeWinn's Medic three-step cleanse, control and treat system regularly to achieve visibly clearer skin in no time:

Prevention. Dr. LeWinn's Medic Oil Control Foaming Cleanser ($19.95) is a refreshing face-wash that cleanses pores deeply, removing excess oil and impurities and leaving your skin feeling fresh and clear. Full of natural ingredients, it contains Canadian willowherb, an effective natural fighter against bacteria, as well as a blend of soothing botanicals such as green tea and aloe, which calm the redness caused by breakouts.

Treatment. Dr. LeWinn's Medic Spot-clear Gel ($19.95) is a fast-acting formula containing Benzoyl Peroxide, Phtosphingosine, and Kaolin Clay, which work to rapidly dry out breakouts and reduce acne-causing bacteria. It also contains Canadian willowherb and witch hazel to help soothe breakout-induced irritation.

Maintenance. Dr. LeWinn's Medic Oil Control Day Fluid ($29.95) and Oil Control Night Fluid ($34.95) are quick absorbing, oil-free moisturising serums, which contain Salicylic Acid to minimise oil congestion and bacteria. African whitewood helps to absorb excess oil, reducing shine and visibly tightening pores, while Phtosphingosine calms and moisturises the skin, leaving it soft and clear.

As well as that, remember these three top tips from Dr. LeWinn's Medic:

  • Don't pick, pop or squeeze the skin. This will just cause further inflammation.
  • Don't go to bed without removing your make-up. Your skin needs to breathe, and old make-up clogs the pores.
  • Regularly wash your pillow-case. You’d be surprised how much bacteria and germs are living there!
