5 useful tips to address acne
Understanding Skincare Basics:
Everything starts at home, with a consistent skincare routine involving gentle cleansing,
moisturising, and sun protection. You need to use non-comedogenic products that won't clog pores.
2. Identifying Triggers:
Potential triggers for their acne include certain foods, stress, hormonal changes, or skincare products. I strongly recommend keeping a journal to track flare-ups and identify pattern
3. Healthy Habits:
I cannot stress enough living a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, stress management techniques, and adequate sleep. These habits can help reduce inflammation and support overall skin health.
4. Treatment Options:
We can offer tailored treatments based on the severity and type of acne, including over-the-counter products containing ingredients like salicylic acid, or retinoids, as well as prescription medications, topical treatments, oral medications, and procedures like chemical peels or laser therapy.
5. Consistency:
Consistency and patience are vital when addressing acne. Improvement may not be immediate, and it's essential to stick to a skincare routine and treatment plan for several weeks to see results.
I can provide comprehensive education and an acne management plan.

Lets Talk Ingredients
Mandelic Acid is an AHA that gently softens and loosens the desmosome bonds that hold our dead skin cells together to provide a gentle exfoliating benefit. It is antibacterial and has also been shown to reduce sebum production.
Salicylic Acid is another essential ingredient. It exfoliates and clears comedones, has antiinflammatory properties and reduces sebum production.
Retinol which exfoliates and clears comedones, is anti-inflammatory, regulates sebum production and promotes skin healing.
Clove Oil is something we use a lot of. It is a very powerful antioxidant and is antibacterial. It also inhibits the oxidation of sebum blocked in follicles, one of the key triggers of the inflammation that occurs in acne.
