Acne: What happens in the skin and how can you help?

Acne is one of the most common skin problems and causes concern for many people, especially when it comes to choosing the right cosmetic products. That's why it's so important to understand your skin and the causes of acne. Only then can you really support your skin effectively. Let's take a look at what actually happens in your skin!

Acne is more than just a cosmetic problem. It is a skin condition that has various causes and manifestations. Basically, it all starts when your sebaceous glands produce too much sebum. At the same time, dead skin cells accumulate and clog the pores. Bacteria can then multiply in these clogged pores, leading to inflammation. This results in pimples, redness, and sometimes painful lumps under the skin.

Acne does not always look the same; there are different types:

• Comedonal acne: These are the familiar blackheads and whiteheads, without inflammation.
• Inflammatory acne: Red, swollen pimples, sometimes filled with pus.
• Severe acne: Deep, often painful lumps or cysts that can also leave scars.
• Adult acne: Acne that occurs from around the age of 25, often You may be wondering, “Why does this happen?”

It's simple: your skin is telling you that it is out of balance and now needs support – through cleansing, care, and a healthy lifestyle.

Acne can be triggered or aggravated by various factors, for example:

• Hormonal changes (puberty, menstruation, pregnancy)
• Stress and lack of sleep
• Unhealthy diet (too much sugar or dairy products)
• Incorrect cosmetic products
• Heredity
• And sometimes also by irritated skin

Can acne really be combated? Yes, definitely! Many people struggle with it, but often they don't take the right steps or don't do them in the right order. If you follow the most important points, you can visibly improve your skin.
