What is it?

Acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells and bacteria. It can show up as pimples, blackheads, whiteheads or cysts.

Common Causes

  • Excess oil (sebum) production
  • Clogged pores
  • Hormonal changes
  • Bacteria on the skin
  • Certain skincare or makeup products
  • Touching or picking your face
  • Stress and unhealthy lifestyle habits
  • Diet high in sugar and dairy (may contribute)

Prevention & Care

  • Cleanse your skin gently twice daily
  • Use non-comedogenic (won't clog pores) products
  • Avoid touching or picking your face
  • Remove makeup before bed
  • Exfoliate 1–2 times a week
  • Keep your skin hydrated
  • Change pillowcases regularly
  • Maintain a balanced diet and stay hydrated
  • Be consistent with your skincare routine
  • Seek professional advice for persistent or severe acne
