Understanding the condition

What is Acne?

This is a common skin condition. It occurs when hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin cells. That is why this blockage leads to the formation of spots, blackheads, whiteheads, and sometimes deeper cysts or nodules.

It often appears on your face, chest, back, and shoulders. Therefore, you must consult a skincare professional for a bespoke assessment tailored to your exact skin type.

There are different types of this condition:

Non-inflammatory type

Characterised by blackheads and whiteheads. These are small, non-swollen lesions. They develop when pores become blocked with oil and dead cells.

Inflammatory type

Involves red, swollen, and sometimes painful spots, papules, pustules, nodules, or cysts. This occurs when bacteria infect the blocked pores. Consequently, this leads to severe redness and infection.

Root factors

What Causes Acne?

Excess Oil Production

Overproduction of oil (sebum) by the sebaceous glands plays a major role.

Hair Follicle Blockages

A build-up of dead skin cells often leads to the blockage of hair follicles. This creates a perfect environment for spots to form.

Bacteria

Specific bacteria can contribute to severe redness and blemish development.

Hormones

Changes in hormone levels can trigger breakouts. In fact, this often happens at puberty, menstruation, or pregnancy.

Signs to look for

How to Prevent Acne?

Here are some simple tips to help prevent future breakouts:

01

02

Avoid face-touching

You must avoid excessive contact with your face throughout the day.

Stress can trigger hormonal changes that worsen breakouts. So, use stress management techniques to stay calm.

04
