ACNE & PROBLEMATIC SKIN

Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. While it is most commonly associated with teenagers, acne can affect individuals of all ages, from adolescents to adults. Acne can manifest in several forms, including:

• Whiteheads and Blackheads: Non-inflammatory types of acne where clogged pores appear either as small white bumps or dark spots.
• Papules and Pustules: Inflammatory acne characterized by red, swollen bumps or pus-filled lesions.
• Nodules and Cysts: Severe forms of acne that develop deep within the skin, often causing pain and scarring.

Understanding the type of acne you have is the first step toward effective treatment.

Acne can be triggered by a variety of factors, including:

• Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations in hormones, particularly during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause, can increase oil production and lead to breakouts.
• Excess Sebum Production: Overactive sebaceous (oil) glands can contribute to clogged pores.
• Bacteria: The presence of Cutibacterium acnes bacteria in hair follicles can cause inflammation and pimples.
• Diet and Lifestyle: Consuming high-glycemic foods, dairy, or processed products may exacerbate acne for some individuals. Stress and lack of sleep can also contribute.
• Genetics: A family history of acne can increase your likelihood of developing the condition.
• Skincare Products: Using comedogenic or pore-clogging products can worsen acne. It’s essential to choose non-comedogenic, skin-safe options.
