Acne-prone skin care products
As I myself have had acne problems, here are a few products that have helped me fight acne.First of all, it's important to know your skin type, mine was very oily at the beginning of the fight, after facial treatments and some other products it became dry but still prone to acne and pimples, so the acne problem doesn't have to come only from oily skin. The key to dry skin care is choosing the right product to hydrate and protect dry skin, as well as choosing a cleanser that won't further dry out your skin and will provide a good cleaning effect. Comedones and acne are caused by the clogging of the pores by impurities from the external environment, whether it is air pollution or other preparations you apply to the skin (makeup, comedogenic skin care products), and the inability of sebum to penetrate the surface of the skin, resulting in clogging of the pores. Generally, people with dry skin have less pronounced pores, so comedones will appear smaller than in people with oilier skin, but regardless of their appearance, the approach to treatment is similar. Oily, acne-prone skin is characterized by increased activity of the sebaceous glands, resulting in excess sebum (oil). Such skin is shiny, especially in the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin), and the pores are enlarged. Excess sebum, together with dead skin cells and bacteria, often clogs pores and leads to acne and comedones. Changes in skin texture often occur, leading to uneven tone or acne scars.
