There’s nothing more frustrating than waking up to an unexpected breakout. Whether it's one stubborn spot or a whole army of them, breakouts can make even the most confident woman feel powerless. But don’t worry—you’re about to learn how to get rid of breakouts with ease and confidence.
We’re diving into what causes breakouts, how to get rid of breakouts ASAP, and the secret skincare step many women overlook: the quality of your water.

Why do breakouts happen?
Understanding your skin is step one. Breakouts often happen because:
-
Oil (sebum) and dead skin clog pores
-
Bacteria multiplies inside pores
-
Hormones fluctuate, increasing oil production
-
External factors like pollution, stress, diet—and unfiltered tap water—irritate your skin
While skincare products are important, they’re not always enough if the root causes aren’t addressed.
How do you get rid of breakouts asap?
Need to get your skin back on track quickly? Here are some proven steps:
1. Cleanse gently, but thoroughly
Use a mild, non-stripping cleanser twice daily. Over-cleansing can irritate your skin and worsen the breakout.
Pro tip: Wash your face with filtered water to avoid skin-aggravating impurities like chlorine and microplastics.
2. Ice the breakout
A quick way to reduce swelling and redness? Ice it. Wrap a cube in a clean cloth and press it gently against the breakout for 30–60 seconds.
3. Apply a targeted spot treatment
Look for:
-
Salicylic acid (exfoliates inside the pore)
-
Benzoyl peroxide (kills bacteria)
-
Tea tree oil (a natural antibacterial option)
4. Hands off!
Touching, picking, or squeezing will only introduce more bacteria and delay healing. Keep your hands (and phone!) away from your face.
5. Moisturise and protect
Even breakout-prone skin needs moisture. Choose a non-comedogenic moisturiser to help repair your skin barrier. And never skip your SPF.

How do I clear my skin breakout?
If you’re dealing with a stubborn or widespread breakout, consistency is key.
Create a calming routine:
-
Gentle cleansing with filtered water
-
Soothing toner (avoid alcohol-based)
-
Targeted treatments
-
Lightweight, calming moisturiser
-
Daily sunscreen
Address lifestyle factors:
-
Prioritise sleep
-
Stay hydrated (filtered water is best)
-
Eat a nutrient-rich, low-sugar diet
-
Manage stress with meditation, yoga, or breathing exercises
Start by cleansing your skin with pure, chemical-free water. Many tap water sources contain chlorine, heavy metals, and other irritants that can weaken your skin barrier and trigger more breakouts.

The impact of unfiltered water on your skin

-
Strip natural oils from your skin
-
Irritate sensitive skin
-
Clog pores
-
Make skincare products less effective

How do you cure breakouts?
While there’s no instant magic potion, curing breakouts for good involves treating your skin gently and building healthy habits:
-
Consistency: Stick to your routine even when you’re tempted to try every new product.
-
Simplify: Less is more. Too many active ingredients can overwhelm your skin.
-
Water quality: Remember—if you’re washing your face with water full of skin-irritating chemicals, you’re starting your skincare routine at a disadvantage.
-
Dermatologist advice: For severe or cystic acne, professional support is crucial.
How do you stop breakouts from happening?
Breakouts might feel random, but you have more control than you think.
Here’s how to stay ahead:
-
Keep your skin barrier strong by avoiding harsh cleansers and using filtered water
-
Exfoliate moderately (1–2 times a week) to prevent clogged pores
-
Eat skin-friendly foods rich in antioxidants, omega-3s, and vitamins
-
Wash pillowcases, makeup brushes, and phones regularly
-
Stay hydrated
-
Manage stress (stress hormones can trigger oil production)
