What is Acne?
Acne occurs when pores become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. Triggers include hormonal imbalances, genetics, diet, and stress. It can range from blackheads and whiteheads to more severe cystic acne.
Prevention:
Keep skin clean and avoid over-washing, which can strip oils.
Reduce dairy and sugar intake, as they may exacerbate acne.
Avoid touching your face to minimise bacterial transfer.
Home Care:
Use salicylic acid to unclog pores.
Apply benzoyl peroxide to kill bacteria.
Incorporate gel moisturiser to maintain balance.
