Most people attribute acne to adolescence, but it is not only teenagers who suffer from acne, it can appear at any age. These skin disorders can appear on more parts of the body than just the face. We want you to stop acne from the very first pimples. But do you know what causes acne and how you can improve it?

What is acne and what causes it:

Acne are small infections in the pores of the skin. They generate inflammation and eruptions, thus causing the appearance of annoying pimples and blackheads. These small alterations arise due to different factors such as:

  • Food: excess sugar and fats affect our skin. An improvement in our diet leads to an improvement in our organism. Avoid milk, sweets, carbohydrates and fried foods. Eat more fruit, vegetables, omega-3 rich foods and water.

 

  • Hormonal changes: This is one of the main reasons. These changes can be caused by specific illnesses, pregnancy, menstrual periods, etc... not only in the adolescent stage.

 

  • Incorrect skin hygiene: maintaining good hygiene with products that respect the ph of our skin is essential. If the face is not cleaned, the pores can become clogged, forming blackheads and pimples. The face should be washed at least twice a day, when getting up and when sleeping. This will remove excess dirt that has accumulated on the skin throughout the day. In the case of very oily skin, you can wash it up to 3 to 4 times. You should use specific products for different skin types. If you have any doubts, consult a dermatologist.

 

  • Bacteria: Touching your face with dirty hands or picking at your skin without keeping it clean can cause acne. If you touch your face, try to keep your hands clean at all times to prevent pimples from breaking out.

 

  • Use of fatty products: sunscreens or very greasy moisturisers encourage the appearance of acne. Find out about your skin type and act accordingly. There are always products that are better suited to your skin type. For example, "non-comedogenic" products, i.e. those that do not clog the skin's pores.
