Embarking on the Skincare Journey Towards Clear Skin: Understanding the Truth About Acne

Jan 1, 2024 Fox Fairies Malaysia

With the increase in skincare awareness and the improvement of skincare techniques, treating acne has become a common phenomenon. Having acne on the face is a common skin problem, but it is not insurmountable. It is important to understand the causes of acne and how to properly treat and prevent it. Many adults and teenagers are troubled by acne problems, prompting more people to seek treatment.

The causes of acne mainly include abnormal epidermal metabolism, excessive sebum secretion, bacterial infection, and hormonal influence. Modern lifestyles and dietary habits may trigger acne outbreaks, and prolonged mask-wearing can exacerbate this problem. Developing good lifestyle habits is crucial to achieving smooth skin. First and foremost, it is important to recognize that adult hormonal acne is common, not only among teenagers but also more prevalent in females between the ages of 21 and 50, with males potentially experiencing more severe cases.

Various factors contribute to adult acne, including emotional stress, improper squeezing of acne, menstrual cycles, prolonged mask-wearing, excessive consumption of high-glycemic index foods, and cosmetic products prone to blackhead formation.

In reality, acne is caused by the accumulation of oil and blackheads leading to skin inflammation. Therefore, avoid using overly harsh soaps or cleansers on the face, as this may worsen acne problems. Instead, it is recommended to wash the face with a gentle cleanser daily and use suitable skincare products to quickly address the underlying factors causing acne. Having acne on the face is a common skin problem, and factors such as diet, makeup, squeezing, and treatment methods can all affect the condition of acne.

 

Here's an explanation for these aspects:

Dietary Factors: While there is no conclusive evidence

that fried, greasy, spicy, or chocolate foods directly

cause acne, high-glycemic index foods and dairy

products can exacerbate acne outbreaks. It is

recommended that patients try to avoid consuming

such foods and keep a record of their daily diet to

observe any correlations with acne outbreaks.

 

Makeup: Makeup during acne outbreaks is not

prohibited, but it is advisable to avoid using oily

or heavy makeup to prevent clogging of pores.

It is recommended to choose oil-free, water-based

cosmetics and thoroughly remove makeup before

bedtime.

 

Squeezing Acne: Squeezing acne by oneself may

cause skin damage and inflammation, worsening

acne problems, and possibly leaving scars. It is

recommended to use external skincare products

from the Fox Fairies Pimple Rescue Collection to

treat inflamed acne and seek professional help

when necessary.

 

Facial Care: Simple facial cleansing and blackhead

extraction are usually safe. However, if you are not

proficient in handling acne cleaning, it is necessary

to ensure that a professional beautician performs

the operation to avoid excessive or forcible extraction

of acne.

 

Irregular Sleep Patterns: Staying up late until midnight

can affect the hormonal balance in the body,

especially with increased nighttime sebum

secretion, which can easily lead to acne.

 

Life Stress: High stress can cause hormonal

imbalances, affecting skin sebum secretion,

leading to acne.

 

Environmental Factors: Living in cities where dust and

sand are prevalent or experiencing hot and humid

conditions can irritate the skin, increasing the

likelihood of acne occurrence.

 

Thorough Makeup Removal: It is essential to thoroughly

remove makeup every night to ensure clean skin and

avoid pore blockages.

 

Timely Treatment: Do not ignore acne problems; timely

treatment is crucial. Acne can cause pain, scarring,

and emotional distress, affecting the quality of life.

 

In summary, correct dietary habits, appropriate makeup, avoiding improper squeezing of acne, proper skincare routines, improving lifestyle habits, and timely treatment are all key to managing acne problems.

Identify the underlying causes of your acne based on its location, make necessary adjustments, and then use the Fox Fairies Pimple Rescue Collection.
