The 3 secrets to combat acne

But acne isn't just a teen problem; adults suffer from it too. Hormonal changes, stress, sun exposure, inappropriate cosmetics, or pollution can trigger an acne outbreak at any time.

Although we always talk about four main physical factors:

1. Excess sebum.
2. Pores clogged by oil and dead cell buildup.
3. Bacteria.
4. Inflammation.

However, preventing and treating acne is just as important as removing the marks once they have settled on us.

Do you suffer from acne, or perhaps you have a family member or friend who does? In this article, you'll find the secrets to combating acne, regardless of your stage of the disease.

1-Prevent acne

Maintaining good routines, both in terms of skincare and habits, will be essential to combating acne and preventing its appearance. Here are 7 key tips:

• Use cosmetic products appropriate for your skin type.
• Follow a balanced diet , avoiding foods that promote acne (such as dairy products, red meat, or breaded foods) and increasing your consumption of foods rich in vitamins A, B, and C, such as most fruits or foods that stimulate collagen production, such as oily fish.
• Avoid rubbing your face when drying to prevent further infections. It's best to do so with very gentle touches or strokes, and it's better to use a tissue or disposable tissue rather than a towel, which always contains more bacteria.
• Keep your face uncovered, that is, avoid bangs or long hair, especially if your hair is oily.
• Practice outdoor sports to promote sweating and eliminate toxins.
• Do not touch pimples, blackheads, or spots… this only makes acne worse.
• Cleanse your skin twice a day with appropriate products, both in the morning and at night. If you exercise, don't forget to cleanse your skin immediately afterward so that the toxins expelled through sweat don't clog pores and cause more oil production.

2-Treat acne

Once acne has entered your life, it's important to maintain a positive attitude. It won't be with you forever. And with patience and perseverance, it can be reduced and eliminated.

To treat acne, it's not enough to simply follow the prevention tips mentioned above; you also need to reinforce your skincare habits with additional products that soothe and relieve discomfort at home.

If this problem causes you discomfort, despair, and insecurity, it's important to know that acne now has a solution. It's easy and fast, providing visible and noticeable results from the first week of treatment in 95% of cases.

3-Eliminate acne marks: Hollywood Peeling

One of the most well-known and widely used techniques today is the Carbon Peel, more commonly known as the Hollywood Peel. It consists of a Yangtze Neodymium laser technique combined with carbon powders capable of absorbing and eliminating toxins from the skin.

The results of this treatment are immediate, and in just one session you'll see changes in your skin. It will look fresher, more supple, and revitalized. You'll even notice how acne marks begin to disappear, and you'll prevent future acne from appearing because:

1. Reduces the size of enlarged pores.
2. Eliminates dead cells.
3. Cleans pores and removes blackheads.

In this video, Julia Garvin, Director of Estetic Medic Garvin, tells you more:

Hollywood Peeling is also used for:

1. Illuminate, revitalize and refresh the face (which is why this treatment is so popular among celebrities).
2. Eliminate skin blemishes caused by age and the sun.
3. Reduce the depth of wrinkles or even eliminate them if they are mild.
4. Stimulate collagen production.
