It’s inevitable: whether you’re counting down the days until your cousin’s black-tie wedding or before the presentation that will hopefully get you a promotion, you can be sure a pimple will pop up the morning of the day you you wait impatiently. If you have acne-prone skin, your daily life can feel like a constant battle between trying to diminish acne breakouts and drying out your face. Since June is Acne Awareness Month, Aloette is here to tell you about some of the causes of acne and how it can be prevented. We will also share with you our gentle and hydrating skin care routine, the Aloeclear collection .
What is Acne?
Acne, or the little pimples that appear when our sebaceous glands are congested, is normal. Even though Instagram filters and semi-professional selfie lighting make us think our skin should be smooth as glass, healthy skin can sometimes be bumpy, rough or prone to breakouts. The American Academy of Dermatology mentions that acne is very common : 85% of people have some form of acne when they are young (between 12 and 24 years old), but it can appear at any age and it occurs more and more in adults. So don’t worry too much about your skin care routine to soothe acne, you’re doing the best you can!
What Causes Acne?
The culprits of many acne breakouts are our hormones. When a major change occurs, such as puberty or pregnancy, our hormone levels are altered and our glands produce more sebum which causes acne breakouts. Acne can also get worse due to stress, lack of sleep, sugary foods, or makeup that hasn’t been completely removed. Sometimes acne is persistent and you might need a dermatologist, but most of us can treat our acne at home with a simple morning and evening skin care routine.
Aloette skin care routine for acne prone skin
The steps to taking care of acne-prone skin are quite simple: cleanse, tone, spot treat, and moisturize morning and night. The Aloeclear collection includes all the skincare products you need to start your routine and help you achieve clearer, more even skin.
- Clean with Start Clean Deep Cleanser
The key to cleansing acne-prone skin is to use a gentle cleanser that helps unclog pores, but doesn’t over-dry the skin. Start Clean Deep Cleanser contains Aloeganic Aloe Vera which soothes and moisturizes the skin, and it also contains a gentle exfoliant called Lactic Acid which helps remove impurities and excess oil. Use Start Clear Cleanser morning and night to help purify your skin.
- Tone with Be Balanced Daily Refining Toner
This toner contains ingredients like salicylic acid and lactic acid which helps remove dirt and other impurities. If you have dry skin, you might not want to add a toner to your skincare routine. However, if your skin is oily or a combination of both (dry and oily), Be Balanced Daily Refining Toner can help soothe irritation and unclog pores. Be Balanced uses Lactic Acid and Witch Hazel to draw out pore-clogging impurities and Aloeganic Aloe Vera to keep skin healthy and hydrated. Spray this toner on a cotton ball or on your clean hands, then apply it to cleansed skin morning and night to help prevent acne breakouts.
- Effectuez un traitement localisé avec la lotion de traitement contre l’acné Stay Pure
Effectuer un traitement localisé après avoir utilisé un nettoyant et un tonique permet d’atténuer l’apparence des imperfections plus difficiles à masquer. La lotion de traitement contre l’acné Stay Pure utilise des ingrédients puissants comme l’acide salicylique et des acides bêta-hydroxylés pour contribuer à diminuer l’apparence des boutons les plus tenaces. Effectuez un traitement localisé ou appliquez le produit seulement dans les zones où vous avez de l’acné une ou deux fois par jour lors de votre routine de soins de la peau du matin et du soir.
- Hydratez avec l’hydratant sans huile Get Hydrated
Si vous traitiez votre peau pour l’acné en 2005, vous êtes peut-être effrayée à l’idée d’hydrater votre peau. Heureusement, nous avons évolué depuis ce temps.
