Understanding Acne-Prone Skin

If you don't have proper knowledge about how acne is caused and what it does to your skin, there's no point in finding solutions to treat it. Let's understand the causes of acne before diving into its treatment. Acne usually shows up when excess oil, dead skin cells, bacteria & clogged pores come together. These clogged pores turn into whiteheads, blackheads, pimples and acne.

There's not one single factor contributing to the formation of acne, there are many and these are:

• Excess oil production
• Hormonal changes
• Stress
• Pollution
• Poor diet
• Incorrect skincare products
• Lack of proper cleansing
• Touching or picking the skin frequently

To effectively treat acne, you need those products which provide a gentle yet deep cleanse, reduce sebum production & maintain a hydrated & clear skin.

All these benefits are provided in the Salyzap range of Fixderma.

Let's find out:

Step 1: Start with a Gentle Acne Cleanser

Cleansing is one of the most important steps in any acne care routine. If you are not cleansing your skin, then you are probably making your skin more prone to acne. If bacteria & pollution are one of the reasons that result in acne the obviously it becomes very important to give your face a gentle cleanse to get rid of the bacteria & impurities.

Additionally, it works on all acne-causing factors like exfoliating dead skin cells and combating acne-causing bacteria. Enriched with natural extracts like Aloe Vera and green tea, this formulation helps in fading acne-related blemishes.

Do not use harsh soaps that strip your skin barrier. Always trust science-backed cleansers that actually show visible results.

Ingredients like Salicylic Acid, Glycolic Acid & Multifruit AHAs work effectively for acne-prone skin as they gently exfoliate dead skin cells and reduce excess sebum.

Also, remember cleansing once in a day is not enough. Try cleansing twice a day to get clear & refreshed skin.
