The winter season can be very treacherous for the skin. Harsh winds, low humidity, and indoor heating can leave our skin feeling dry, flaky, and in need of some extra care. Acne is one of the most common skin conditions. It occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It can result in various types of blemishes, including pimples, blackheads, whiteheads and sometimes even more severe forms like cysts. Acne occurs primarily on oily skin and starts with a blackhead. Avoid neglecting blackheads, as they can irritate the surrounding tissues of the skin, resulting in inflammation.
Use a gentle cleanser twice a day to remove excess oil and impurities without over-drying. Regular exfoliation helps unclog pores. Even acne-prone skin needs hydration. Choose oil-free, non-comedogenic moisturizers to prevent dryness.
