Tiny bumps that won’t go away? It might not be traditional acne 👀
Fungal folliculitis LOVES heat, sweat, heavy products, and clogged follicles… so your skincare routine matters A LOT.

Here’s a simple routine we love for fungal folliculitis-prone skin at Facial Studio Magdalena ✨

🫧 Face Reality Mandelic Wash
Mandelic acid is naturally antibacterial + antifungal and helps gently exfoliate buildup inside the pores without stripping the skin. Perfect for those tiny uniform bumps and congestion.

💧 Face Reality Mandelic Serum or AHA Serum
Both contain mandelic + lactic acids to help keep pores clear, reduce buildup, smooth texture, and support healthier skin turnover without feeling too harsh.

🩵 Face Reality HydraBalance
A lightweight, water-based hydrator that gives hydration without heavy oils or occlusive ingredients. With fungal folliculitis, we usually want to avoid thick, pore-trapping products that can make congestion worse.

✨ Sulfur Spot Treatment
Sulfur helps reduce excess oil, calm inflammation, and creates an environment that fungal folliculitis doesn’t thrive in. Such an underrated ingredient honestly.

☀️ Mineral SPF Options (all zinc-based!)
• Face Reality Mineral Matte SPF 28 → amazing if you prefer a more matte finish
• Face Reality Mineral Power SPF 50 → lightweight protection with a natural finish
• Tinted Mineral Moisturizer SPF 40 → gives a little glow + sheer coverage for those no-makeup makeup days

Not every breakout is acne, and treating fungal folliculitis the wrong way can sometimes make it worse 😭 If you’re struggling with stubborn tiny bumps, texture, or congestion, our acne specialists at Facial Studio Magdalena can help guide you toward the right routine 🤍

Acne isn’t “one-size-fits-all,” and treating every breakout the same is one of the biggest reasons people stay stuck in the cycle of flare-ups, irritation, and frustration.

At Facial Studio Magdalena, we use the Face Reality Clear Skin Method to identify exactly what type of acne you’re dealing with — inflamed, non-inflamed, or combination acne — because each one requires a completely different approach.

That’s why seeing an acne specialist matters. Using the wrong products can keep acne lingering for months (or years), while the right customized routine can completely change your skin.

All of our estheticians are Certified Acne Experts and are trained to build personalized acne-clearing routines based on your skin type, acne type, sensitivity level, and lifestyle. ✨

If you’re tired of guessing, we’re here to help. Book an acne treatment consultation with us and let’s get your skin on the right path.
