Understanding and Treating Acne
Learn about the causes of acne and discover effective skincare and treatment options to manage and reduce breakouts.
Key Points:
Hormonal Causes: Acne is primarily driven by hormones, not diet or lifestyle, though sugar and stress can exacerbate the condition.
Midlife Acne: It’s common and frustrating for acne to reappear in midlife, well past the teenage years.
Skincare Solutions:
Salicylic Acid: Penetrates pores to clean them out and prevent blockages.
Retinol: Reduces oiliness in the skin and helps manage breakouts.
Treatment Options:
Clinical Blue Light Treatment: Effective for active acne, this treatment involves lying under a canopy of blue lights twice a week for 20 minutes. It denatures the bacteria causing inflammation and infection, reducing visible acne on the skin’s surface.
