Information - Acne - Dark Spots

Acne is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition that causes white spots, blackheads or pimples on the face, shoulders, back, neck, chest and arms. It is a common skin condition among adolescents, and often occurs in adults.

Symptoms

The symptoms of acne vary depending on the severity of the condition, some of which are:

  • White spots (closed pores)
  • Dark spots (open clogged pores)
  • Small red bumps (bumps)
  • Pimples (blisters), with pus on their ends
  • Large, compact, painful lumps under the skin (nodules)
  • Painful pus bumps under the skin (cystic lesions)

Causes

Four key factors that can cause acne:

  • Excessive sebum production
  • Hair follicles that are filled with oils and dead cells
  • Bacteria
  • Inflammation

In addition, there are some factors that can trigger flares:

  • Hormonal changes (Androgens are hormones that increase during adolescence and cause the sebaceous glands to enlarge and produce more sebum. Hormonal changes during menopause can also lead to flares.
  • Diet (Eating certain foods rich in carbohydrates or sugar can make acne worse)
  • Anxiety (Often reported as a cause of rashes, redness and pimples)

Treatment

Treating acne starts with following a healthy lifestyle combined with specialized acne products.

Acne skincare routine

  1. First, apply a cleanser, gel morning and night.
  2. Then apply a face lotion on a cotton ball to remove any makeup residue, dirt and oil.
  3. Add a facial serum to your routine to cleanse your pores and reduce imperfections.
  4. Then apply a face cream for blemishes and dark spots, which contains active ingredients such as niacinamide or salicylic acid.
  5. Once a week use a face mask, especially for this skin type.
  6. If you want to treat your pimples topically, you can choose a quick-acting gel for topical application on the blemishes.
  7. Do not forget to apply daily high protection sunscreen, which offers a matte effect and is non-comedogenic.
