Acne-prone skin can be very sensitive and has two types - inflammatory and non-inflammatory skin type. Here are some signs that indicate you have acne-prone skin -

What mistakes do individuals with acne-prone skin make?
Aside from following an improper skin care routine, individuals with acne-prone skin make the following mistakes that do more harm than good -
• Popping pr picking pimples -The worst mistake that people with acne-prone skin can make is popping, picking and squeezing their pimples or breakouts. This can aggravate the skin and further cause inflammation. It often leads to scarring or deeply pigmented marks. • Relying on one-stop solutions -Every person’s skin needs are different. Therefore, one-stop solutions can not work to give desired results. The dermatologist can best suggest a custom plan depending on your skin type and severity of concern to get expected results. This means saying ‘no’ to misleading products that are marketed under one broad category. • Not knowing your exact skin type - Each skin type is different and unique. Without knowing your exact skin type, it is not possible to manage acne and excessive oiliness. This leads to persistent skin problems such as acne, pigmentation and marks. • Experimenting with natural remedies - We often rely on natural remedies to treat acne-prone skin. Many products labeled as ‘natural’ are marketed to be safe and effective for the skin. In reality, most of such products lack medical claims and scientific evidence. Using them without supervision may aggravate the problem. • Lack of skin care routine - Neglecting skin care can be the main issue of persistent skin problems. It is imperative to follow a specific skin care routine regularly to keep your skin healthy. • Excessive exfoliation - Exfoliating your skin every day or with a harsh scrub can damage it further and cause inflammation. • Using hot water for cleansing - Hot water strips the skin of its essential oils which triggers sebaceous glands to overproduce oil and result in acne. • Using excessive hair oil - Using excessive oil often leads to forehead and back acne. • Relying on spot treatments - Spot treatments may give temporary relief but they do not address the underlying concern.
Tips to take care of oily and acne-prone skin
• Cleanse using a mild, medicated and fragrance-free cleanser. • Use toner and light moisturizer to finish off the skin care routine. • Always use a broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 50 or above. This helps prevent discolouration, pigmentation and initial signs of aging. • Use skin care and makeup products that are non-comedogenic which means that they do not clog the pores. This will help prevent acne and breakouts. • Scrub your skin lightly once or twice a week using a mild scrub. Chemical peels are recommended to help unclog pores and clear the build-up of dead skin cells. Taking chemical peels treatment from time to time also keeps your skin acne and spot-free. • Use face masks once or twice a month. Although they only work on the upper layer of the skin, they can help improve skin moisture and overall health. • Stay hydrated to help the body flush out the toxins. • Do not pop the pimples as it can transfer the bacteria to surrounding skin areas and may spread the infection.
