Skin purging can happen when you start using certain products like exfoliants or retinoids, causing your skin to speed up its cell turnover process and bring underlying congestion to the surface. While it may seem like your skin is getting worse during the purging phase due to breakouts and increased skin shedding, it is typically a temporary process. Once your skin adjusts to the new products and sheds the built-up impurities, you should notice an improvement in skin texture and clarity. Therefore, in the end, your skin is likely to look better after the purging phase.
