Eskinol for Pimples Know How

The first beauty product that was given and introduced to me is Eskinol. That was the day when I am finally allowed to use something on my face, the rest I am not permitted to try due to my mother’s fear of anything chemical or artificial and its effect to young skin. After those 9 long years though, I still have pimples. Eskinol has been in the market for so long that my Mom and Lola were still fond of it. My Uncle and Aunt use that too. The traditional way of using it is through pouring a small amount of Eskinol on clean cotton and wiping it all over the face until it is dirt free. Use spare cotton if necessary. They don’t wash their face after or prior to that.

Early Ignorance

I have tried using Eskinol after washing the face and Eskinol alone but still my face is plagued with pimples. In my ignorance, I have tried few different bottles without taking into consideration the active ingredient each bottle has. Still none has worked. Every bottle has different formulations, meaning it addresses different skin needs. This fact didn’t exist in my mind back then as I went along with what my Mom and friends recommend. Please take note though, that different skin types exist. One product may work for some while other will not.

Understanding the Kind of Pimples you Have

There are different kinds of pimples, there are these occasional 1-3 pimples and the many tiny little bumps that don’t really look like pimple (the kind of pimple I have). The worst pimples are the biggest and numerous kind that leaves the skin a crater look. It even has a puss on it.

Treating your Pimples

I heard some successful stories about using Eskinol to prevent pimples. They use a different kind of bottle for breakouts and switch to another for maintenance. In my humbe opinion, it is better to start with the mildest form of getting rid of pimples. Using a bar soap especially on young skin is the first step, this is good for mild kind of pimples. This requires patience as you have to wash your face everyday. There is also spot treatment, a product that you will only apply in skin that has pimple, for occasional pimples (2-3 pimples). For worse scenario, you better ask help from a dermatologist for experimenting may only do you bad instead of helping you out of it.

Personal Eskinol Experience

The Eskinol Oil Control Facial Deep Cleanser with Pure Lemon Extract is the last variant I’ve tried hoping to battle the oiliness of my face. What I was thinking and trying to test is that, oiliness means no pimples. Eskinol is an astringent, not a toner. Alcohol is not good for sensitive skin. It made my face oilier than normal and gave me more pimples than what I wish for. From seldom to twice a day, I shift to using it only at night hoping to minimize the oiliness. I also don’t like the shiny face it gives my face after application.

Tips: Avoid the eye area. It is more delicate than the other part of the skin in your face.
