If left untreated, acne can leave scars and cause blemishes. Don't underestimate acne as just another common skin problem; it's important to address it properly. The most important thing is prevention.
To prevent acne, let's start by reviewing our lifestyle habits.
An unbalanced diet and irregular sleep patterns are not only detrimental to your health, but also detrimental from the perspective of preventing acne. Furthermore, high levels of stress stimulate the secretion of male hormones, which in turn promotes sebum production, making pores more prone to clogging, and thus contributing to acne. Stress affects other lifestyle habits such as diet and sleep, so try to avoid accumulating stress by getting moderate exercise and finding your own ways to relax.
To prevent acne through skincare, it's important to remove excess sebum and dirt with cleansing, but don't forget to moisturize thoroughly afterward. When the skin's surface dries out due to lack of moisture, the stratum corneum thickens, making pores more prone to clogging. By moisturizing sufficiently after cleansing, you can keep your skin soft, regulate cell turnover, and lead to skin that is less prone to clogged pores. If you feel your skin is becoming unstable, such as before your period, take action early. Make sure to take extra care of your skin with lotions and serums containing vitamin C, which keeps skin healthy and prevents melanin production, and vitamin E, which promotes blood flow.
