Diet can influence acne in some individuals, though it varies from person to person. Foods with a high glycemic index, like sugary snacks and processed carbs, as well as dairy products, have been linked to worsening acne in some cases. Maintaining a balanced diet rich in vegetables, fruits, and whole grains may help improve skin health.
Acne treatments usually take time to show noticeable results. Most topical treatments can take 4-6 weeks to start working, and it may take up to 12 weeks for significant improvements. Patience and consistency are key to seeing the best outcome.
Yes, stress can contribute to acne by increasing hormone levels that stimulate oil production, leading to breakouts. Managing stress through practices like exercise, meditation, deep breathing, and getting enough sleep can help reduce its impact on your skin.
To care for acne-prone skin without excessive drying, use a gentle, non-foaming cleanser twice a day and avoid harsh scrubs. Look for treatments with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid alongside acne-fighting agents. Moisturize with a non-comedogenic moisturizer, and avoid over-washing or using too many drying products.
