Causes

- Using harsh products that dry out the skin.
Papules (inflamed red bumps)
Causes
Mild inflammation often caused by bacterial buildup in pores.
Simple routine
- Apply diluted tea tree oil to calm inflammation. Moisturize with baobab oil. Cleanse gently morning and night to soothe and protect the skin.

Simple routine
