ACNE

What is Acne?

Ah, acne—the nemesis of clear skin. It’s a skin condition triggered by clogged hair follicles, caused by a mix of oil and dead skin cells. These factors lead to the formation of those pesky pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads, that appear uninvited on your face, neck, chest, back, and shoulders. Acne flares can worsen with enlarged pores. 

Types of Acne

Acne doesn’t play favourites; it comes in all shapes and sizes. From the everyday nuisances like
blackheads and whiteheads to the tougher adversaries—nodules and cysts — acne’s got range.
Understanding your acne type is essential for crafting the ideal strategy to regain your clear,
radiant skin.

Preventing and Managing Acne Scars

Here are ways to prevent and manage acne scars on your face effectively:

Do Not Pop Your Pimples Without Professional Help

Popping pimples can lead to further inflammation and scarring. It’s best to leave this task to skincare professionals who can safely extract them without causing damage.

Consistent Facial Treatments

Regular facial treatments are like medication, you have to go regularly to keep your skin clear. These treatments are also good for acne scar reduction which includes exfoliation, deep cleansing, targeted serums and lasers to promote deep skin healing.

Wear Sunscreen Indoors and Outdoors

Sun exposure can worsen the appearance of acne scars by causing hyperpigmentation and making them more visible. We’d recommend applying UV-based sunscreen or the DNA Repair UV sunscreen daily, even indoors, to protect your skin from UV damage and prevent scar darkening.

Keep Your Skin Moisturised

For daily maintenance of skin barrier function and to prevent dryness that can exacerbate acne scars, opt for a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturiser like our Total Calm Mattifying Moisturiser, free from thick oils or emulsifiers and packed with ancient botanical remedies to hydrate and soothe inflamed skin.
