Acne – how it develops, types and effective treatment
Acne is one of the most common skin conditions and can occur at any age – not just during puberty. Adult acne often results from hormonal changes, stress, improper skincare, poor diet or unsuitable cosmetics.
Types of acne
-
Comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) – clogged pores filled with sebum, dead skin cells and impurities.
-
Papules and pustules – inflamed spots caused by bacteria multiplying in blocked pores.
-
Cystic acne – deep, painful inflammation with a higher risk of acne scars.
Causes
Hormonal fluctuations, excess sebum production, genetic predisposition, poor diet, stress, harsh cosmetics.
Treating acne – externally and internally
-
Externally – gentle cleansing, non-comedogenic products, targeted serums or cream for facial blemishes with salicylic acid, niacinamide or retinoids.
-
Internally – balanced diet, enough sleep, stress management, vitamin and mineral support.
Post-acne care
Acne scars and pigmentation can be reduced with gentle exfoliation, regenerative serums and skin-renewing actives.
