At Confidence Prescribed, we understand that persistent breakouts can affect far more than your skin, they can influence your confidence, daily routine, and how you feel in yourself. It’s completely normal to feel frustrated or overwhelmed when flare-ups continue despite trying multiple products. Our skin-wellness clinic offers compassionate support and a range of safe, evidence-based options to help improve the appearance and comfort of breakout-prone skin. We’re here to guide you toward clearer, healthier-looking skin.
We take a holistic and personalised approach to understanding your skin and its needs. Rather than focusing only on surface symptoms, we look at lifestyle factors, skin habits, and patterns that may be contributing to congestion or flare-ups. Utilising a combination of advanced skin treatments and tailored skincare plans, our goal is to help reduce breakouts, support clearer complexion, and promote long-term skin wellness. All recommendations are made by trained professionals in a professional environment, with your safety and comfort at the centre of every decision.
Breakouts can happen to anyone and understanding what’s going on beneath the surface can help you make more informed skincare choices. Many people experience flare-ups without knowing the specific type or cause, which is why a professional assessment can be so valuable.
Common Types of Breakout-Prone Skin
Comedonal Congestion: Caused by clogged pores and often appearing on the forehead, nose, and chin. This can include blackheads (open comedones) or whiteheads (closed comedones).
Papules & Pustules: Red or inflamed bumps often referred to as “breakouts.” These occur when pores become irritated or blocked.
Nodules & Under-the-Skin Lumps: Deeper, more uncomfortable lumps beneath the surface that can take longer to settle. Professional support can be particularly helpful here.
Hormone-Linked Breakouts: Often appearing around the chin, jawline, and lower face. These flare-ups are influenced by natural hormonal fluctuations.
Many factors can play a part in congestion or breakouts, including: Excess Oil Build-Up Influenced by natural hormones, stress levels, or genetics, leading to more easily clogged pores.
Dead Skin Cell Build-Up: When skin doesn’t shed effectively, dead cells can mix with oil and block pores.
Bacterial Activity Within Pores: Naturally occurring skin bacteria can multiply inside congested pores, contributing to inflammation.
Hormonal Fluctuations: Puberty, monthly cycles, pregnancy, and lifestyle changes can all influence oil production.
Genetics: Some people naturally have more reactive or oil-producing skin.
Lifestyle & Environmental Factors: Stress, skincare misuse, heavy cosmetics, friction from clothing, and environmental pollution may all contribute to flare-ups.
