Also, it is a process that can happen after a skin resurfacing treatments e.g. chemical peel. • it can show up as whiteheads, blackheads, pustules, cysts • appears on areas you typically have breakouts • usually last between a few days - 6 weeks (longer if you have a lot of whiteheads) • purging is a good sign that the product/treatment is working. You just have to TRUST THE PROCESS to reap the rewards of healthy skin later down the track. 💪🏽 IT'S NOT A PURGE when: • tiny red bumps, itchiness, flaking • appears on other places of the face • last longer than 4-6 weeks If you experience tiny red bumps, itch, flaky skin or even stinging, those are signs of sensitivity to product irritation. If your tiny bumps make your skin feel rough, you might be experiencing dermatitis.
