Acne is a skin condition where breakouts and several pimples regularly occur on the face, chest, and/or back. A spot or pimple is a general term for blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules, nodules, or cysts, all of which can be caused by acne. However, having the occasional spot doesn’t mean you have acne. If you do have acne-prone skin, there’s no need to feel concerned or depressed: acne is a common skin condition that affects up to 80% of people at some point in their lives. According to the National Medical Council and Association of Dermatologists in India, 95% of 11 to 30-year-olds have experienced acne, while adult acne affects up to 3% of those aged over 35.
Breakouts are most commonly caused by hormonal changes or stress, but they can also be a result of using the wrong skincare products for your skin so we’ll be exploring some of the best ingredients and products to help you calm and clear your skin. Congestion often leads to inflammation and spots, so prioritize non-comedogenic ingredients if you have breakout-prone skin. The main culprit for blocking pores is using the wrong skincare for your skin and inadequate exfoliation. Non-comedogenic skincare is specially formulated to avoid blocking or clogging pores. Salicylic acid is the main type of beta hydroxy acid (BHA) used in skincare as a chemical exfoliator. It works deep into the pores as well as on the surface of the skin to break up dead skin cells, reducing clogged pores and blackheads. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that help treat acne-prone skin and is oil-soluble, making it effective even for oily skin. Even Glycolic acid peel also controls the excess secretion of sebum oil and controls the breakout. It acts on acne, acne scars and purifies the oil glands by controlling the bacteria formation. The best way to start the day is to get up and first, place wash your face with an anti-acne or anti-bacterial face wash, the neem face wash is the best option, and apply an oil-free matt finish sunscreen before stepping out. Washing your face every 3 hours gives an extra edge to maintaining oily skin. Avoid oily food and too many masala-oriented dishes while eating out in restaurants, cheese, butter, and ghee intake need to be controlled and should be in limited quantity. Apply an acne treatment benzoyl peroxide cream or Retinol complex after washing your face before going to bed.
