How to Get Rid of Acne
Acne is not just a cosmetic issue; it is a signal from the body about internal disturbances. Rashes on the face, back, or chest can occur due to hormonal fluctuations, improper care, stress, or even diet. One-time treatments and miracle products do not work—what is needed is a system.
Why Do Pimples Appear?
The skin reacts with inflammation when sebaceous glands produce too much sebum, and pores become clogged with dead skin cells. In this nutrient-rich environment, Cutibacterium acnes bacteria multiply, causing redness and pustules.
In teenagers, acne is often related to hormones, while in adults, it may be linked to chronic stress, unsuitable cosmetics, or an imbalance in gut microflora.

What Aggravates the Problem?
• Improper care—alcohol-based toners, comedogenic creams, harsh scrubs.
• The habit of squeezing pimples—leads to scarring and the spread of infection.
• Excess sugar and dairy products—provokes inflammation.
• Lack of sleep—cortisol increases sebum production.
