Introduction: what is acne-prone skin?

Your skin is made up of cells that are constantly replaced. Each day, old skin cells die and new ones form. Pores in the skin open to allow these dead cells to leave the body. This process is called “exfoliation. ” People with acne-prone skin have skin that tends to overproduce oil and dead cells. When pores are clogged with excess oil and dead skin cells, the bacteria on these cells can multiply. The body reacts by sending white blood cells to the area. The bacteria and dead skin cells form a plug in the pore. This plug can block the opening of the pore and lead to infection. The white blood cells release chemicals that cause redness and irritation around the plugged-up pore. This is how pimples are formed. 

What are the causes of acne-prone skin?

The causes of acne-prone skin are still unknown, but many factors seem to play a role. Hormones, genetics, and the environment may all be involved. Acne is more common in teenagers than in adults. This may be because teens have a surge of hormones during puberty (the years before adulthood). This increases the amount of sebum (natural oils) produced by the skin. In addition, teens have a higher number of active oil glands on the face, chest, and back than adults do. The sebum carries dead skin cells out of the pore.

The characteristics of acne-prone skin

The characteristics of acne-prone skin are:  Pores in the skin are larger than normal. The oil glands produce more sebum than normal. The pores have a tendency to clog easily and form blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples. The hair follicles are more active in acne-prone skin than normal. The sebum that is produced can block the openings of the hair follicles, which leads to a pimple.

Water-based products are less likely to clog pores than oil-based products.  Oil-free, fragrance-free, and dye-free are keywords to look for when buying skincare products. It is best to avoid moisturizers with oil. Instead, use a moisturizer that contains salicylic acid (i.e., benzoyl peroxide, sulfur). Salicylic acid can help open clogged pores and keep the skin clean.
