Acne is one of the most common skin problems that affects people of all ages, although it is most common during adolescence. It can be both physically and emotionally distressing, and many struggle to find the right way to deal with it.
With its products, Moonsun has experience in helping several people calm their acne. Here we thought we would go over briefly what causes acne, and what is important to think about, as well as which products we recommend.
What causes acne
Acne occurs when the sebaceous glands in the skin produce excess sebum (oil) which, together with dead skin cells, clogs the pores. When these pores become clogged, bacteria can begin to grow, leading to inflammation and the formation of pimples, blackheads or cysts. The most common factors that contribute to acne include:
Hormonal changes - hormones play a big role in sebum production, and during puberty, the menstrual cycle, pregnancy or due to hormonal disturbances, sebum production can increase
Genetics - if your parents had acne, there is a greater risk that you will also be affected
Stress - stress increases hormone production in the body, which can lead to increased sebum production and acne breakouts
Improper skin care - using products that are too harsh or contain clogging oils can potentially irritate the skin and worsen acne
Diet - some studies have shown that diets high in sugar and dairy products can contribute to acne, but the research is inconclusive in this area
What to think about
Treatment of acne varies depending on the severity and skin type of the wearer. But there are a few things that are likely to make a difference to most people:
Cleansing - be sure to clean your skin every day with a gentle cleansing cream, here we recommend Moonsun Cleansing Cream
Moisturize the skin - contrary to what many people think, it is very important to moisturize a skin with acne, we recommend Moonsun Vitamin C Serum which contains several good ingredients for your skin, read more about it below.
Reduce your sugar intake - most people agree that too much sugar affects your skin negatively, try to reduce your sugar intake and evaluate how it affects your skin.
Keep your hands away from your face - your hands carry a lot of bacteria that can make acne worse if they come in contact with your face.
Reducing stress - stress management through meditation, yoga or regular exercise can help balance hormones and reduce acne breakouts.
Why Vitamin C Serum from Moonsun
Vitamin C Serum from Moonsun has a unique composition and the ingredients are well selected and thought out based on customer treatments. The following 4 main ingredients, with their properties, are important in the treatment:
Aloe Vera - acts soothing and repairing
Sea buckthorn - nourishes and balances the skin
Neroli - reduces redness
Lindblom - binds moisture
Moonsun's serum also contains vitamin C, in this case a small bonus in the form of a beneficial antioxidant. The serum also provides an even, clearer skin tone and can often be perfect for pigmentation and scars that can occur after acne.
When should you seek help?
If your acne is severe, causes scarring, hurts or does not improve, you may need to seek professional help. A skin therapist and/or dermatologist can offer tailored treatment options that can provide better and faster results.
In conclusion, acne is a complex problem that may require different solutions depending on the individual's skin type and causes. By combining the right skin care products, possible medical treatment and healthy lifestyle choices, you can improve your skin and feel more confident. Remember that results can take time, so be patient and be kind to yourself and your skin during the process.
