Acne among adults - contrary to appearances - is not as rare a problem as it might seem. Improper diet, poor care or lack of proper hygiene are not the only factors that can cause a number of changes on the skin. Check out the most common causes of acne formation!

Skipping makeup removal

Makeup clogs pores, leading to pimples and dry skin. Neglecting or skipping this ritual altogether is a simple way to the appearance of irritation and the development of imperfections. Removing color cosmetics from the skin will be perfectly handled by the emulsifying makeup remover oil and SPF SQUEEZE AN ORANGE. It is suitable for all skin types, and the blend of precious oils m.in. from sea buckthorn (a rich source of antioxidants) and grape (ideal for oily and combination skin) perfectly cleanses and nourishes the skin. In addition, you will be delighted by the chunks of sweet orange, which we enclosed in a glass bottle and a beautiful fragrance!

Inaccurate cleaning

You don't cleanse your skin in two stages? Error! The key to healthy skin. Even if you only apply sunscreen and seem to have nothing on your face - your skin collects sweat and impurities from the whole day, so in the evening it needs a thorough cleansing!

In the first stage, reach for the above-mentioned oil SQUEEZE AN ORANGE, which will wash off makeup and sunscreen residues. Next, cleanse your skin with a gel or emulsion tailored to your skin type. Deep cleansing dEEPLY PORE CLEANSING GEL for the face with active green tea extract with EGCG, prebiotic from chicory and agave and ALPAFLOR® ALP®-SEBUM will be the best choice for skin prone to acne and imperfections.

Gel removes excess sebum, impurities and restores a healthy appearance. Instantly cleanses, smooths, reduces the appearance of pores and leaves no tightening sensation, making it ideal for skin with a tendency to oiliness and clogged pores.

Remember to wash your hands and teeth before you start your makeup removal and cleansing ritual. When cleansing, don't forget the neck area, impurities and makeup residues also accumulate on it!

Ignoring the role of sun protection

You don't use SPF cream? Without proper protection, the sun's rays will worsen the condition of any skin, especially acne. Exposure to the sun leads to excessive sebum production, which in turn causes skin lesions to form. Therefore, the use of sunscreen should be a key element in your daily care.

When choosing sun protection, reach for a broad-spectrum product. Broad-spectrum light anti-photo-aging protection cream with moisturizing and soothing effect SPF 50+ BUT FIRST, SUNSCREEN will effectively protect your skin from UVA, UVB, HEV and IR radiation. The formula soothes the skin, absorbs quickly and does not leave a greasy film!

Inappropriate use of cosmetics

You use only mattifying cosmetics? Excessive drying of the skin also can lead to increased sebum production!

Do you reach for products more than once a week exfoliating? Excessive exfoliation leads to a weakening of the skin barrier and again - it too can cause overproduction of sebum. Enzymatic peeling with AHA Phytocomplex 10%, PHA 10%, BHA acid complex - MATCHA POWER PEEL will provide your skin with an instant detox. Exfoliates, cleanses and smooths, effectively removing dead skin cells, evens out skin tone and reduces the appearance of pores.
Thanks to the content of salicylic acid, the peeling regulates the activity of sebaceous glands, has a mattifying effect and also reduces redness associated with imperfections. Gluconolactone (PHA) 10% effectively reduces hyperpigmentation, leaves skin soothed and silky smooth.

You are what you eat

You love sweets and spicy dishes? Diet has a huge impact on the appearance of the skin, with excess sugar and hot spices can aggravate acne!

Pay attention to what you eat and include in your diet primarily foods with a low glycemic index, fruits and vegetables and products rich in zinc. Avoid processed foods, salt and hot spices, sugar and alcohol consumption.

Remember to take care of hydration of the body - try to consume ok. 2 liters of water per day.

Lack of proper hygiene

You use the same towel for face and body? Bacteria carried from other parts of the skin may be responsible for the development of acne! Get into the habit of gently drying your face with a paper towel into your routine.

You don't change your bedding regularly? The materials you sleep on accumulate sebum, sweat, bacteria, mites and fungi that exacerbate skin lesions. Change the pillowcase every few days, and with active acne lesions even daily.

Remember to also take care of hygiene of accessories - not only for makeup. The cause of acne can be both the use of brushes and sponges not cleaned of cosmetic residues, bacteria, microbes and dust, and the transfer of bacteria from the phone or headphones to the skin of the face through touch. Note that dirt and bacteria accumulating on the hands can worsen the condition of the skin. Therefore, do not forget to disinfect accessories and try to avoid touching your face hands.

Sleep hygiene matters. A small number of hours or sleep disturbances can lead to increased levels of stress hormones, which has a negative impact not only on the body, but also on the well-being of the. Consciously take care of your routine - avoid stressful situations, create a relaxing space in your bedroom, and put electronics aside 2-3 hours before bedtime, replacing your phone screen with a paper book.

Choose your favorite physical activity. Morning exercises such as yoga will have a beneficial effect on your well-being! By taking care of your body holistically, you reduce the chances of developing acne.

Deteriorating changes

Do not squeeze or do not scratch acne lesions. This will spread bacteria and create new lesions on your face. Such actions lead to the formation of unsightly scars, discoloration and damage to the walls of the sebaceous gland, and you certainly wouldn't want that.
