Acne is a skin condition that is characterised by blackheads, whiteheads, pustules, blocked pores and in serious cases cysts. It can be found on the face, neck, chest and back causing embarrassment and distress to the person suffering from this condition. Research now shows that early intervention in the treatment of acne reduces the longevity of the acne and reduces the risk of scarring, anxiety and depression.
Not only is a consistent skincare routine essential in promoting great skin health, here are some other easy steps you can follow to assist in acne reduction:
- Limit sugar intake
- change your pillowcase regularly
- try not to touch your face
- keep your skin clean and hydrated
- see your qualified practitioner if your acne worsens
- do not over treat your skin with treatments, or products that have been recommended by untrained influencers
