What is ACNE?<\/h3>\n

Acne is a common term for the presence of blackheads, whiteheads, and other types of pimples on the skin. There are varying levels and severities to how we grade acne and in turn how we approach treating it. The most common areas for acne breakouts are the skin on the face, chest, shoulders and back.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n

Different manifestations of ACNE:<\/h3>\n

– Whiteheads:<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Also known as \u201cclosed comedones,\u201d whiteheads are one of the most typical forms of acne. They appear on the skin as small or medium bumps, usually whitish or skin-tone in colour.<\/p>\n

Whiteheads occur when a pore becomes clogged with a mix of dead skin cells and\u00a0sebum<\/span>. This clogged pore gets covered by a layer of skin and develops pus within.\u00a0Unlike pustules <\/i>and most other acne breakouts, whiteheads are considered non-inflammatory blemishes. So you\u2019re unlikely to experience swelling and redness with these pimples.<\/p>\n

– Blackheads:<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Also called \u201copen comedones,\u201d blackheads get their name because they appear as dark spots in your skin. Blackheads too are caused by clogged pores, however, unlike whiteheads, those clogs of oil and skin cells are open to the air.<\/p>\n

– Papules:<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Acne papules are the swollen red bumps that so many of us imagine as \u201ctypical\u201d breakouts.<\/p>\n

Like other acne blemishes, papules develop when excess oil and dead skin cells clog your pores. Pressure builds up in the blocked pore and can cause the walls of your pore to rupture,\u00a0spreading bacteria<\/span>\u00a0into the surrounding skin. Your immune system responds to the rupture with inflammation, giving papules their red and swollen appearance.<\/p>\n

– Pustules:<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Pustules are essentially papules that\u00a0fill with pus<\/span>\u00a0when your immune system kicks in. The red bumps develop a swollen white or yellow cap, giving pustules that classic pimple look.<\/p>\n

Pustules can form anywhere on your body, but they\u2019re most commonly found on areas such as your face, chest, and back.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n

Different manifestations of acne:<\/span><\/h3>\n
– Nodules:<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Nodules are a more severe form of acne that can be hard to address. They appear similar to papules but start deeper within the layers of your skin, where they are challenging to treat and nearly impossible to pop (not that you should!).<\/p>\n

Nodules look like red or skin-coloured bumps, and never have a \u201chead\u201d like whiteheads or pustules. They feel firm and are painful to the touch.<\/p>\n

Acne nodules can appear on their own or in sore patches across your skin. Sometimes they even coexist with equally painful cysts<\/em>\u00a0in a breakout known as\u00a0nodulocystic acne<\/span>.<\/p>\n

– Cysts:<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Cystic acne is what I struggled with for so many years as a teenager. It<\/span> is another form of severe acne that forms far below the surface of your skin. Cysts resemble deep, red lumps and are filled with pus or other liquids and feel soft to the touch. Either way, they can be very tender and painful!<\/p>\n

Cystic acne is common along the face and jawline, or even as “bacne<\/span><\/em>.” Caused by the usual trio of excess oil, dead skin, and bacteria, cysts are a particularly stubborn form of breakout, lingering for weeks or even months.<\/p>\n

I know all too well that feeling of insecurity and the temptation to try and drain the acne is over-bearing, but DON’T! Of all acne blemishes, cysts are the most likely to leave a scar, and trying to pop them will only make scarring worse.<\/p>\n

Cystic acne is not caused by poor hygiene. But following a nourishing skincare routine designed for acne-prone skin can help to keep cystic acne under control.<\/p>\n

– Milia:<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Milia aren\u2019t technically classified as acne. But they\u2019re often confused for pimples and should be on your radar if you\u2019re trying to identify mystery blemishes.<\/p>\n

Technically\u00a0tiny cysts<\/em><\/span>, milia are small, light bumps that often crop up around your nose, cheeks, and eyes. They are caused by trapped skin flakes or keratin deposits. Keratin is the protein responsible for keeping your hair, skin, and nails strong. But when it gets caught beneath your skin, it causes hard bumps to form.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”2″ divider_color=”accent-color”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n

My journey with ACNE:<\/h3>\n

I haven\u2019t always had great skin nor do I believe it\u2019s perfect, if you were to speak to me nine years ago when I was sixteen and covered in painful cystic acne. I would be saying to you I hated myself and my skin. It was then that I decided to invest into myself fully. Not only has skincare taught me how to analyse and address the skincare issues I had, it most importantly taught me self love and self-worth. \u2060<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Luckily there is someone, like myself, there to help you. Someone\u00a0<\/span>who understands the functions of the epidermis and the ingredients, formulations and actives \u2060<\/span>different skin concerns and conditions \u2060<\/span>needs. <\/span>We train and research extensively into ingredients, formulations, skin conditions and concerns that way you can always have someone who is knowable helping you, you are not alone!\u2060<\/span><\/p>\n
