Acne Begone! We Got The Latest Info on How To Get Rid of Your Breakouts
by: Jess MullarkeyGet Exclusive DEALS TO YOUR INBOX
Common skin issues, such as acne, are troublesome at any age but can be especially worrisome for those in their teens and early 20s. It can shatter confidence, and social anxiety, and cause lifelong scarring on your face. I mean, who wants to go out with their friends when they’ve got a red, inflamed, and irritated face?
A breakout can be a problem but it can be fixed
If you’ve been blessed with beautiful, pimple-free skin, it may be difficult to comprehend both the physical and mental pain of acne, so severe at times that people choose extreme medications to combat it.
Everyone’s skin is different and requires different treatments to eliminate a breakout. First, it’s important for us to understand the cause of the breakouts in order to address the issue the right way.
What causes acne?
The predominant cause of acne is the buildup of dead skin cells, excess oil (sebum) and bacteria. When these combine and block the follicle, a type of plug is formed trapping the bacteria which then multiplies and leads to a breakout.
Those with a genetic predisposition to this skin issue can shed their dead skin cells up to four times faster than the average person. If these dead skin cells remain on the surface of the skin, they can cause low-grade acne and progress further to high-grade acne if not treated.
Of course, there are other factors that may cause this frustrating situation. Age, stress, and lifestyle can affect your skin, too. It’s still important to take care of your overall health.
The way to treat acne
First thing’s first, if your acne persists, it’s always recommended that you consult with your dermatologist. However, if you experience a breakout every now and then, applying products that can solve this issue is helpful.
Everyone has a delicate balance of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ bacteria on their skin. This balance creates a microbiome system with good bacteria helping maintain healthy skin. So, while we might be inclined to douse our face with anti-bacterial products, this will also eliminate the good bacteria and our skin's own natural defences against breakouts.
Enter Dermalogica Clear Start. It’s a versatile range designed to target breakout-prone skin. The products in the collection are gentle yet effective with potent ingredients that target your problem areas while soothing botanicals and eliminating inflammation and redness. The Clear Start collection is straightforward to use and avoids any lengthy routines. Each product has multi-benefits in order to deliver quick results.
