Break Free from Breakouts

The Best Skincare for Acne Prone Skin

 What Causes Acne?

Acne isn’t just about clogged pores—hormones, lifestyle, and skincare play a role too. Here’s what’s happening beneath your skin.

Sebaceous Glands & Oily Skin

Too Much Sebum Leads to Acne

Sebaceous glands produce oil to keep skin hydrated, but excess sebum clogs pores, leading to acne.

Dead Skin & Oil Buildup

Blocked Pores Trigger Breakouts

Dead skin cells, oil, and bacteria get trapped inside pores, creating blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples.

P. Acnes Bacteria & Inflammation

Bacteria Triggers Inflammation

Acne-causing bacteria thrive in clogged pores, leading to inflammation, redness, and painful breakouts.

Why Acne Flares Up at Certain Times

Hormones Play a Huge Role

Testosterone, stress, and menstrual cycles can increase oil production, leading to hormonal acne.

How Your Choices Affect Acne

Food, Stress & Sleep Can Impact Skin

Sugar, dairy, processed foods, and lack of sleep can worsen acne. Managing diet and stress can help control breakouts.

Over-Exfoliation & Harsh Products

The Wrong Skincare Can Make Acne Worse

Using too many actives or stripping cleansers can weaken your skin barrier, making it more prone to breakouts.

Acne isn’t just about what’s on your skin

it’s about what’s happening beneath the surface. Understanding the root causes of breakouts can help you make the right choices for clear, healthy skin.
