7 Steps to Acne Free Skin
Acne and pimples is a widely prevalent skin condition which begins during one’s adolescence. It is quite common in adulthood and after 40 too. Acne is mainly caused due to excessive sebum secretion. During puberty due to level hormonal imbalances, the sebaceous gland tends to secret excessive sebum. The oil secreted by the gland combines the bacteria and dirt present in the skin and creates an environment that is conducive for the bacteria to grow. This gradually triggers a chain of chemical reactions that leads to full blown acne.
The perfect care for acne prone skin involves routine hygienic and cleaning practices, such as cleansing, toning and moisturizing. These three steps are very vital for having a acne free skin. Regular, exfoliation also keeps skin problem free. While cleansing the skin, bacteria, dirt and excessive oil are neatly removed. Toning allows the pores to breathe easily and moisturizing nurtures & hydrates the skin. Exfoliation helps in removing the dead cells & blackheads keeps pores clean.
