What Is The Cause Of Acne?

Acne is a skin condition that is caused when the oil glands, dead skin and dirt on your skin clog the pores and hair follicles. Acne is an umbrella  problem, pimples and blackheads are different forms of acne.

Acne can be caused due to clogged pores, excess sebum production, inflammation or bacterial infection on the skin. However, acne can also occur due to certain medications, an allergy, during menstruation, and hormonal changes. Apart from this, you can also get acne due to improper lifestyle, stress, usage of poor quality  skincare products and genetics.

How Is Acne Diagnosed?

When your face is periodically filled with pimples, zits, redness, or marks, you may want to visit your trusted medical advisor. The doctor will be able to run a skin exam and tell you what is causing it, and diagnose acne if the symptoms match it. Since genetics and many factors play a role in this skin condition, the doctor may ask you if you are undergoing stress or if you have a family history of acne. At times, menstrual cycles and ageing can also contribute to the acne breakouts.

How To Get Rid Of Acne?

Treatment of pimples can vary as per its severity. If you have pimples that are painful or are spreading faster than usual, you should consult a dermat to know the real cause of acne. For normal acne and pimples, you can opt for home remedies for pimples. While your dermat will provide you with the treatment for acne, you can follow a skin care routine that’s well suited to your skin type to prevent acne. 

 Woman Washing Her Face
  • Cleanse your skin

    Dust and pollutants in your skin can block your pores and cause acne. This is why it’s essential to  cleanse your face thoroughly every day. Cleaning your skin with a mild cleanser helps remove the build-up of excess oil, dirt and dust that prevents pores from clogging and thus reduces the occurrence of acne. However, the cleanser that you choose should be suitable for your skin type and cater to your specific skin needs. You must also consider the ingredients of your face wash. Harsh chemicals can further worsen the condition of acne on your skin. Instead, you should go  for a natural, chemical-free cleanser that is devoid of any chemicals.

    You can try the Coco Soul Revitalizing Face Wash. This natural face cleanser is created with the secrets of ancient Ayurveda and  pure Ayurvedic ingredients derived straight from nature.  With the elements of nature in a tube, this face wash cleanses off dirt, excess oil and other impurities from your skin, leaving it fresh and revitalised.

    • Neem - A miracle herb, it is loaded with Vitamin E which helps in removing pigmentation and slowing down ageing.
  • Exfoliate your skin

    Want to know how to reduce pimples? Exfoliate your skin regularly. Layers of dead skin and impurities can clog your pores and pave the way for different forms of acne. Exfoliating the skin is an effective treatment for pimples as it removes dead skin, opens pores, and softens your skin. However, it is important that you exfoliate gently and with products that are mild and suitable for your skin.

    Exfoliation with physical scrubs can sometimes irritate your skin, which is why your exfoliator or facial scrub should be chemical-free and natural.  Natural ingredients like sugar, oatmeal and walnut work great as a face scrub, but they can get messy for regular use. Instead, you can use products that are infused with these natural ingredients and are gentle on your skin; for example, the Coco Soul Face Scrub.

    Coco Soul believes that nature has the solution to all your skin problems and the ayurvedic skincare solutions of the yesteryears are much more effective than those of today. Keeping  this ideology in mind, they have created products that are infused with natural ingredients and Ayurvedic herbs.
