What Causes Acne?

Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin cells which are a breeding ground for P. acnes bacteria. This often causes whiteheads, blackheads or pimples, and usually appears on the face, forehead, chest, upper back and shoulders. Acne is most common among teenagers due to the increase in hormones, though it affects people of all ages with adults experiencing acne which can be stress and hormone-related.

Acne Treatments

We know that a one-size-fits-all solution is just not feasible, especially when it comes to acne products. When it comes to your acne skincare routine there are plenty of things to choose from, it’s just a matter of what works best for you.

Treatments and necessary products for a skin routine that helps to control acne including, glycolic acid products, clinical skin peels, healing LED light therapy, pore minimising tonics and gentle cleansing gels that are free of any skin irritants.

Can Acne Cause Scarring?

Yes. Acne can cause long lasting damage including leaving your skin permanently scarred if it is not properly managed. To avoid acne scarring, skincare products that minimise the damage during the flare up are available to use topically as a part of your existing skin care routine. At The Skin Boutique we also have a wide range of blemish treatments for scarring and other complaints associated with acne and congested pores.

If you would like more information on how we can help with skincare products for acne, book in for one of our Virtual Skin Consultations or a VISIA skin analysis session so you can speak with a skilled skin therapist.
