The fight against acne is complicated and we know that beyond youth, there is adult acne that many of us suffer from, linked to hormonal changes, stress, food. Therefore, any professional advice is welcome.
Thus, we wanted to speak with the doctor Arantxa Arana, dermatologist at the Dra. Pérez Sevilla Clinic who has given us a series of recommendations to be able to deal with this condition that, for many people, is a real scourge.
As the dermatologist tells us, in addition to cosmetics, you can combine treatments with pulsed light devices that have an anti-inflammatory effect on the skin, or cabin treatments more focused on oxygenating, unclogging and cleaning the skin.
To improve or eliminate acne, I recommend professional exfoliation or facials: these are more powerful procedures than those that can be done at home. Therefore, putting ourselves in the hands of professionals is always a good idea.
Enlarged pores can be extracted with steam, exfoliation, ultrasound or masks with vitamins A, C and E and that plump the skin and seal imperfections. In addition, laser, pulsed light or blue LED light treatments: stimulate collagen production and reduce pores caused by photoaging or age, in addition to treating acne-prone skin and reducing acne marks.
For his part, he also tells us that pulsed light treats the layers of the skin with high intensity light rays, closing the visible pores and giving a fresh appearance, while chemical peels are another very good option since they renew the entire outer layer of the skin, improving its appearance and stimulating collagen production.
In addition, in what becomes our most day-to-day environment, it recommends that we take care of the skin with a good cleaning routine so as not to contribute to the clogging of pores and control breakouts. Preventive active ingredients are necessary, such as antioxidants and renovators such as retinol or glycolic.
The most important is choose products that are not unctuous, in gel textures and apply sunscreen daily. Also avoid the use of comedogenic products that can clog pores. These comedogenic products can be: wheat germ oil (Wheat Germ Oil), surfactant and emulsifier (Laureth 4), Isopropyl Isostearate, Isopropyl Myristate, Isocetyl Stearate, Cetyl alcohol, Octyl Stearate and products with silicones and parabens.
In any case, we already know that products containing azelaic acid are also indicated for the treatment of acne problems.
Finally, it also tells us that it is important to exfoliate two or three times a week and if you put on makeup, do not leave makeup residue and make sure that the pores are clean, as well as changing the makeup remover sponges or washing the makeup brushes as they can accumulate bacteria on them.
