JUNE IS ACNE AWARENESS MONTH
Acne is one of the most common skin conditions in the world, yet it remains one of the most misunderstood.
At its core, acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged with excess sebum (oil), dead skin cells, and bacteria. Sebum is produced by the sebaceous glands beneath the skin, and when these glands become overactive—often due to hormonal changes—excess oil can become trapped, creating the perfect environment for inflammation to develop.
But here’s what many people don’t realise: acne is far more complex than a simple hygiene issue.
It can present in many different forms, including:
▪️ Blackheads
▪️ Whiteheads
▪️ Papules
▪️ Pustules
▪️ Nodules
▪️ Cystic acne
Each type develops differently and requires a tailored approach to treatment.
