Acne is a common inflammatory skin condition hair follicles and oil glands, often triggered by excessive sebum production. While pollution can aggravate skin issues, acne is more often linked to hormonal changes, stress, or genetics, not dirt or poor hygiene.
This blog explores the benefits of evidence-based skincare, how facials can help manage acne, and where to find tailored, professional care.
Why Does Acne Happen?
Acne can develop for several reasons, including bacterial growth, clogged pores, and excess oil production. Cleansing your face gently twice daily can help manage these factors. However, squeezing or picking spots can cause scarring and worsen inflammation.
How Can We Get Rid Of Acne?
- Use Non-Comedogenic Products: These are specially formulated to avoid clogging pores, making them ideal for oily skin and helping to prevent blackheads and whiteheads. They can leave your skin feeling smoother and healthier.
- Consistent Skin Care Routine: Include cleansing, toning, and sun protection in both your morning and evening routines. Use a gentle, suitable cleanser to remove excess oil and impurities.
- Use Sunscreen: Oil-free or non-comedogenic sunscreens protect your skin from harmful UV rays and prevent sun damage.
- Moisturiser: Helps maintain the skin’s natural barrier and prevents dryness.

During an acne analysis, a dermatologist assesses factors such as location, severity, and oil production, often using advanced skin analysis technology.

Evidence-Based Facial Treatments for Active Acne
- Professional Extraction: Whiteheads and blackheads can be safely and hygienically removed to clear clogged pores and prevent infection. Topical treatments containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide help reduce inflammation and eliminate acne-causing bacteria, commonly included in blemish-control treatments.
- Exfoliation using chemicals: Treatments using salicylic or glycolic acid dissolve dead skin cells and gradually unclog pores for smoother skin.
- LED and High-Frequency Light Therapy: Blue LED has clinical support for acne bacteria reduction, while red LED helps with inflammation.
Complementary Therapies and Lifestyle Considerations
Nutritional Support: A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and low in dairy, processed foods, and sugary drinks, may help maintain healthy skin.
Avoid Squeezing Spots: Picking or squeezing can worsen acne by introducing bacteria, irritating the skin, and causing scarring.
Sleep: Quality sleep is essential for both mental and physical health, helping your body function at its best.
