Acne is characterized by skin clogging and breakouts. This may be due to an increase in sebum production in the sebaceous glands that clogs the pore triggering blackheads, spots, pimples, or whiteheads.
Causes of Adult Acne
• Pore clogging due to excess oil on the skin and blockage of hair follicles.
• The build-up of acne bacteria causes bacteria underneath the skin, such as Propionibacterium.
• Comedogenic skincare products have negative effects such as makeup, shampoos, creams, conditioners, and moisturizers.
• Allergic contact irritations.
• Imbalances in your hormones, ph, and fluctuations in circulation or body inflammation.
• Family history of acne conditions in adulthood.
• Increased emotional and physical stress.
Treatments
Use Silk Pillow Cases
Silk pillows have a slick texture that can aid in reversing acne conditions. They are gentle on the skin, less drying, absorb less moisture from the skin or hair, and provide a cleaner surface with no friction, ideal for combating acne.
Cleansers for Acne-Prone Skin
Picking the right cleanser for your acne condition can aid in the removal of acne-causing bacteria on the clogged pores and hair follicles. I recommend these cleaners for effective acne treatment;
• Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash
• Elta MD Foaming Facial Cleanser
• Simple Micellar Cleansing Water
• Instanatural Glycolic Cleanser
Sebum Control Products
These products function by inhibiting the production of sebum chemicals that increase oil on the skin. They lower oily skin conditions by hindering sebum production in the sebaceous glands. Use products that contain retinoids, niacinamide, isotretinoin, and Lcartine to lower oily skin conditions that contribute to acne.
Non-Abrasive Face Cloths
Ensure you use soft face washcloths, especially those made of cotton or silk, to prevent triggering acne due to friction and breakouts caused by harsh face cloths on the face.
Remove all your makeup, cleanse, moisturize and hydrate before going to bed. This prevents pore-clogging and skin irritation. Use a ph cleanser and soft clean cloth to pat the skin dry.
Makeup Brushes
Sonic brush cleaners are fit for removing excess oil or sebum on the skin as they fully cleanse and exfoliate the skin.
GP
The work of a family doctor includes a wide range of clinical diversity, which requires extensive knowledge and erudition from a specialist. However, I believe that the most important thing for a family doctor is to be human because the cooperation and understanding between the doctor and the patient are crucial in ensuring successful health care. On my days off, I love being in nature. Since childhood, I have been passionate about playing chess and tennis. Whenever I have time off, I enjoy traveling around the world.
