First of all.
It is important to begin by stating that acne is a chronic disease and not just an aesthetic manifestation, so it is essential to consult a dermatologist who will reveal the type, degree, causes, and treatment.
Once that appointment is made, it is necessary to accompany care from home to improve appearance and injuries.
So how to take care of skin with acne?
The first thing to know - and demystify - is that summer does not directly affect the appearance of these injuries and that it can manifest itself at any time of the year.
Acne is a disease that is related to hormonal and genetic disposition, and little to an environmental condition.
During the summer, acne-prone skin feels oilier because the high temperature increases sweating and can cause a feeling of greater irritability.
This chronic inflammatory skin disease mainly affects oily skin due to the condition that has the highest production of sebum, however, other types of skin can also present acne, but in these cases for reasons such as the use of cosmetics that cover the pores, medications, stress, etc.;
For this reason, it is important to consult with a professional who recommends the appropriate products for the type of skin and its origin.
