Acne is one of the most common skincare concerns, affecting people of all ages. While it’s normal to have occasional breakouts, persistent acne can be frustrating and affect your confidence. At Yune Skin, we believe that with the right approach, you can manage acne effectively—without harming your skin.
What Causes Acne?
Understanding the root cause is key to treating acne:
-
Excess oil production clogs pores
-
Dead skin cells accumulate, creating blockages
-
Bacteria like Propionibacterium acnes trigger inflammation
-
Hormonal fluctuations increase oil production
-
Lifestyle factors like stress, diet, and poor sleep can worsen breakouts
What Works for Acne
1. Gentle Cleansing
-
Wash your face twice daily with a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser
-
Avoid harsh soaps and over-washing, which can irritate the skin and worsen acne
2. Targeted Treatments
-
Salicylic acid: Penetrates pores, removes excess oil, and prevents blockages
-
Benzoyl peroxide: Kills acne-causing bacteria and reduces inflammation
-
Retinoids: Promote skin cell turnover and prevent clogged pores
-
Niacinamide: Reduces redness and strengthens the skin barrier
3. Moisturizing & Hydration
-
Even oily skin needs hydration
-
Lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizers keep skin balanced and reduce irritation
4. Consistent Sun Protection
-
Many acne treatments make your skin more sensitive to the sun
-
Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily to prevent hyperpigmentation
What Doesn’t Work
-
Scrubbing or over-exfoliating – can damage skin and worsen inflammation
-
Popping pimples – increases risk of scarring and infection
-
Skipping moisturizer – dry skin can trigger more oil production
-
Using too many products at once – overwhelms the skin and reduces effectiveness
Lifestyle Tips for Clearer Skin
-
Maintain a balanced diet, limit excess sugar and dairy if they trigger breakouts
-
Stay hydrated and get enough sleep
-
Manage stress through exercise, meditation, or self-care
