Every second patient comes to the dermatologist with acne. And according to the latest data, more than 50 percent of the population suffer from this problem. Therefore, regardless of gender and skin color, we constantly encounter blackheads and pimples and are looking for a solution that will work once and for all. In addition, instead of slowly subsiding (from the age of eighteen), acne constantly settles on the skin and persists until the third decade of life. Then we talk about adult acne and continue to worry. Why such a problem? As it turned out, the problem exists not only in a few places in the world. These are green areas where the fashion for fast food and the so-called. A Western diet that is generally unhealthy due to high amounts of sugar and fat. The Japanese island of Okinawa, Papua New Guinea are also places where acne is out of the question. Here you live slower, eat healthier and breathe cleaner air. Yes, it is stress, poor diet and smog that affect our complexion, so if you want to have clear skin, you need a cleansing treatment, as well as major changes in the menu.

Exfoliates, moisturizes and protects

Acne-prone skin is a battlefield with a lot going on. The sebaceous glands work very quickly and efficiently, so the complexion shines. Bacteria that cause inflammation are rampant here, so redness and eczema are common. Enlarged pores, blackheads, and a disrupted epidermal cycle (the process by which an epidermal cell is born, matures, and flakes off) are all not working right. Therefore, the care of acne-prone skin requires first exfoliation, then moisturizing and soothing, and finally protection. That's why it's worth exfoliating regularly, preferably with mild acid products. Open pores and cleansed epidermis is the first step in the fight against acne in adults. The most practical cosmetic will be flakes impregnated with acids, such as glycolic acid, like L'Oreal Paris Revitalift. It is enough to wipe clean skin with a pad and leave it to be absorbed, and after a while apply a moisturizer. And so every day for 30 days. By the way, the effect "Rejuvenation and Illumination" will appear in the "Set of additional effects." After the exfoliation step, we move on to the base cream. And here comes the age-old problem associated with acne-prone skin: dry or moisturize? We already know the answer: moisturize, because overdrying the epidermis in the long term always leads to acne lesions. Modern cosmetics can simultaneously moisturize and have anti-inflammatory properties. Moreover, there are special cosmetics for mature skin that require more than just moisturizing. Anti-wrinkle, regenerating and brightening ingredients are combined with anti-inflammatory ingredients. All this so that the cream does not clog pores, inhibits the development of inflammation and at the same time nourishes. It is worth paying attention to the inexpensive day and night cream from Bielenda Hydra Care. It contains moisturizing and mineral-rich coconut water, soothing aloe vera extract and antibacterial ingredient: azeloglycine and brightening vitamin B3. There is one more thing: protection. This should not be forgotten, because acne-affected skin, exposed to smog and UV rays, reacts with redness and the problem is aggravated. Therefore, a thin layer of barrier cream should be a permanent part of your morning routine, and ideally as a substitute for foundation. You will find a good composition in Resibo city day cream. There are UV filters, as well as flower and plant extracts with a protective and moisturizing effect. 

Cleansing Menu

If your skin is not responding to cosmetic therapy and treatment by a dermatologist is still not helping, consider changing your diet. This is not about losing weight, but about a few simple options that will reduce inflammation on the skin. In sisters Nina and Randy Nelson's latest book, The Clear Skin Diet (Znak), you'll find a very specific recipe for a diet that in six weeks will have a cleansing, smoothing effect...almost like perfect cosmetics. The authors, under the watchful eye of a doctor and with the support of scientific research, offer a diet without sugar and fat. Therefore, at first we put aside sweets, meat and dairy products. But we eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Even starchy ones like potatoes and sweet potatoes. We avoid nuts and avocados, because they are also high in fat. Simple. Doctors say that such a diet is anti-inflammatory and works quickly, and if so, then it might be worth a try.
