Acne seems to be a huge problem of late. There are several reasons for acne: the change in the weather; being stressed out; products are failing to perform well, and maskne!! (Thanks to the masks we wear)
Here’s what the Mayo Clinic has to say about acne and how to treat it!
What Is Acne?
–Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells.
–It causes whiteheads, blackheads or pimples.
–Acne is most common among teenagers, though it affects people of all ages.
–Effective acne treatments are available, but acne can be persistent.
–The pimples and bumps heal slowly, and when one begins to go away, others seem to crop up.
–Depending on its severity, acne can cause emotional distress and scar the skin.
–The earlier you start treatment, the lower your risk of such problems
