Bridget’s Radiant Results
Bridget’s RATIONALE journey began in May 2022. Having experienced inflamed breakouts, redness and hyperpigmentation, her skin goals were to reduce congestion, improve the appearance of pores and achieve that RATIONALE glow of healthy luminous skin.
Decoding Congestion
What it is: Congestion and enlarged pores are common skin concerns, often linked to excess oil, debris, or dead skin cells blocking pores, leading to a dull appearance and irregular texture. This can result in breakouts, blackheads, or a compromised skin barrier.
How to recognise: You may notice clogged pores, a rough texture, or blackheads, especially around the T-zone. Skin may appear uneven or dull, and makeup may not sit as smoothly.
Which actives it needs: Exfoliating acids, like alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), and salicylic acid improve skin texture, clear congestion, and minimise pores by balancing the skin’s pH. The ideal skin pH is slightly acidic, supporting enzymes critical for collagen and elastin synthesis, while preventing breakdown, sensitivity, breakouts, and infection.
As skin becomes more alkaline with age and environmental damage, it loses its ability to maintain these functions, leading to premature aging. Regular use of hydroxy acids helps recalibrate the skin’s pH, counteracting these effects. Hydrating ingredients like glycerin and hyaluronic acid lock in moisture, keeping the skin plump and healthy.

Where To Start
"Skin concerns like congestion are common but can be effectively managed with the right active ingredients. Regular resurfacing combined with hydration, is essential for restoring smoothness and achieving a clear, radiant complexion. In contrast, physical exfoliants can be abrasive and may disrupt the skin's natural barrier."
— Ellie Bowley, Training and Coursework Designer.
