What is Acne?

Acne is a common skin problem that starts when dead skin cells and excess oil clogs up the pores in your skin.

Acne can be a few annoying pimples or can be severe and cause swelling, redness and painful acne cysts.

If you have acne, how you feel about it may not be related to how bad it is. Some people obsess over a few pimples and  others are not much bothered by quite severe acne.

Acne can run in families and if your parents suffered from it, you may also.

To help control acne, keep your skin clean but wash gently with lukewarm water that doesn’t strip away the skin’s natural oils and cause more oil to be produced such as Skinsaviour Cleanser.

Use a non oily moisturiser that is non comodegenic and doesn’t block the pores,
