Acne is a very common skin issue that can affect anybody at any age. Now, because everybody’s skin is different, acne triggers, and severity varies from person to person, so when looking for the best facials for acne, you should seek a professional who can help you identify your triggers, and a suitable treatment plan.
What is Acne?
First, it helps to understand exactly what acne is. The term acne refers to breakouts and blemishes on the skin and usually affects areas on the body with larger oil glands such as the face, back, and neck.
Acne breakouts will look different for everybody, it may appear as a couple of spots in specific areas or a more severe breakout that covers the surface of the skin. Unfortunately, these breakouts may lead to blackheads, whiteheads, red lumps (papules), or pus-filled spots which can cause scarring.
To help you feel more confident in your skin, here at Ness Aesthetics we will help you find the best facials for acne, that will target both the breakout and any scarring.
What Causes Acne?
Acne develops when sebum and dead skin cells block the hair follicles, this causes bacteria to build up inside the hair follicle, and trigger inflammation and infection which may result in an acne breakout.
Genetics and hormonal changes are the most common acne triggers, but they can also be caused by a number of other factors, including lifestyle, external factors such as skincare, makeup, and environmental factors, including sun damage.
