Understanding the Causes of Acne and Contributing Factors

Acne can develop due to several reasons, from hormonal changes and skin pore blockages to stress and environmental conditions.

Hormones and Sebum Production: Hormonal changes, especially during adolescence or times of high stress, can cause the sebaceous glands to work excessively, resulting in excess oil that clogs pores.

Environment and Pollution: Dust and pollutants in the air can accumulate on the skin, causing irritation and pore blockages.

Improper Skincare: Inadequate cleansing or using products unsuitable for your skin type can also trigger acne.

Key Point: Understanding the causes of acne helps us choose the appropriate skincare methods and effectively reduce the factors that trigger acne

Proper Cleansing Techniques

Cleansing is the first and most important step in skincare for preventing acne.

Choose the Right Cleanser for Your Skin Type: For those with oily or acne-prone skin, opt for a gentle foam cleanser or gel that cleans without over-drying the skin.

Face Washing Technique: Use warm water to help open up the pores, then gently wash your face with your fingertips. Avoid vigorous rubbing that could irritate the skin.

Regular Cleansing: It is recommended to wash your face in the morning and before bed to remove accumulated dirt and excess oil throughout the day.

Key Point: Proper cleansing prevents pore blockage and greatly reduces the chance of acne formation.

Balancing Skin Moisture

Moisture is essential for strong, healthy skin.

Using a Moisturizer: Choose products that do not contain heavy oils but provide sufficient hydration.

Deep Moisturization: Applying a nourishing cream or serum containing hyaluronic acid can help attract and maintain skin moisture throughout the day.

Avoid Over-Drying Products: Some products with alcohol or harsh cleansing agents may disrupt the skin’s moisture balance.

Key Point: Consistent hydration is the key to maintaining the skin's balance and preventing acne.

Choosing the Right Skincare Products

Selecting the right skincare products is crucial for the long-term health of your skin.

Serums and Moisturizers: Opt for products containing antioxidants, vitamin C, and natural extracts that help reduce inflammation.

Spot Treatments: For acne that appears in specific areas, using products with ingredients such as salicylic acid can help reduce inflammation and control oil production.

Testing New Products: If you decide to change products, test them on a small area first to observe your skin’s reaction.

Key Point: Knowing your own skin and choosing the right products ensures effective skincare and helps reduce acne problems.

Internal Skincare Techniques

Facial care is not limited to external products alone.

Diet and Nutrition: Consuming a balanced diet rich in nutrients — such as vegetables, fruits, proteins, and unsaturated fats — can help strengthen your skin from the inside.

Adequate Water Intake: Water is essential for flushing out toxins and keeping the skin hydrated.

Proper Sleep and Stress Reduction: Getting enough sleep and finding ways to relax, such as through meditation or exercise, helps balance hormones and reduce the likelihood of acne.

Key Point: Internal care and overall health maintenance are factors that contribute to long-term strong, clear skin.

Special Care When Acne Occurs

Sometimes acne can appear unexpectedly, even with proper skincare.

Targeted Acne Treatments: Use products with ingredients like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide that are specifically designed to treat acne.

Consult a Dermatologist: If acne becomes inflamed or leads to scarring, consult a dermatologist for appropriate advice and treatment.

Avoid Popping or Squeezing Acne: Popping or squeezing pimples can lead to infections and permanent scarring. It is better to let them heal naturally or use products that reduce inflammation.

Key Point: Targeted treatments and professional advice from a dermatologist are the best approaches to managing severe acne.
