Why The Acne?

There are a few primary root causes that contribute to acne, or further aggravate acne-prone skin. 

Simply not looking after your skin, such as skipping daily cleansing, moisturizing, or not removing makeup before bed, can lead to clogged pores and an accumulation of dirt, oil, and bacteria. 

Hormonal fluctuations, especially during puberty, menstruation, or pregnancy, can trigger the sebaceous glands to produce excess oil. This excess oil can clog pores, leading to acne breakouts and inflammation.

Using harsh skincare products or not properly cleaning your skin can worsen acne. Over-exfoliating or using products that strip the skin’s natural oils can lead to irritation, drying skin and making acne more likely.

Overactive sebaceous glands produce too much sebum, a type of oil that mixes with dead skin cells, blocking pores. This creates an ideal environment for bacteria to thrive, leading to acne flare-ups.

Quick Advice - Treating Acne

Retinoids, such as tretinoin and adapalene, are derivatives of vitamin A that help to unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and increase skin cell turnover. This prevents the build-up of dead skin cells that can lead to clogged pores and acne.
Tip #1
Benzoyl peroxide kills Propionibacterium acnes (the bacteria responsible for acne), reduces inflammation, and helps to prevent clogged pores. It's a well-established and effective treatment for acne.
Tip #2
Focus on a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Foods like nuts, fish high in omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidant-rich foods (like berries and leafy greens) can help reduce inflammation and improve skin health.
Tip #3
Aim to drink at least 8 glasses (2 liters) of water per day. Adjust based on activity level and climate, but keeping hydrated is key to maintaining balanced skin.
Tip #4
Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night. Create a consistent bedtime routine, avoid screens before bed, and ensure your sleep environment is comfortable and relaxing.
