Today we recommend the best treatments with key ingredients to treat acne based on different needs.
But before….
What is acne and how does it occur?
Acne is an inflammatory disease that affects the sebaceous glands of the hair follicles due to an overproduction of sebum, blocking the duct through which the sebum must be eliminated naturally, giving rise to inflammation due to the accumulation of excess fat, being the perfect place for bacteria to appear, since they feed on the sebum itself.
One of the well-known ones is Cutibacterium Acnes , a bacteria that is naturally present in our sebaceous glands, forming part of the balance of the skin microbiome, and which is part of the optimal functioning of the skin. When we suffer from acne, the skin microbiome becomes unbalanced due to the appearance and development of more bacteria, altering the natural balance.
Acneic skin is not only suffered during puberty in a large percentage of young people, but it can also occur in adulthood, considered from the age of 25, being increasingly prone due to all the factors that we are exposed to.
Acne comes from various causes, factors such as stress, hormonal changes, type of diet, tobacco, the use of cosmetics with inappropriate formulations, pollution, climate, excessive sunbathing...
When we suffer from acne, our first need is to consult a specialist doctor to treat it, since it not only affects the health of our skin, but we also have to deal with the emotional impact.
Acne skin reveals an irregular texture with imperfections due to dilated and clogged pores, blackheads, posttules, blackheads, papules and can even sometimes give rise to cysts, which often create infections causing acne lesions, such as Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation leading to inflamed red spots, or post-acne brown spots, which can become much more serious skin lesions and scars.
How do we treat it?
It is always important to follow the recommendations made by medical professionals, to evaluate the type of acne, whether it is mild or severe and thus maintain the recommended guidelines.
Two great qualities to develop are patience and discipline, since they will help us to constantly follow the appropriate guidelines, follow the recommended treatments until the end and maintain basic daily care routines, if we want to reduce acne and achieve a healthy skin.
We must flee from:
- Poor diet and tobacco, this does not help us with good natural oxygenation of our skin.
- Do not use comedogenic cosmetics or makeup as they clog pores.
- Do not touch the pimples, since the act of exploding or touching them in an unprofessional manner will only cause us to infect adjacent follicles and spread the bacteria.
