Think spots are only a teenage problem you grow out of? Not true. Acne is one of the most widespread skin conditions, and adults face it quite often too. Acne presents as spots and a rash in the area of the face, neck, back, chest or shoulders. Although it isn't a dangerous skin disorder, it causes aesthetic discomfort and scars can appear over time. People who face this condition know that the problem isn't solved in a day – it takes patience and purposeful action. What causes acne to appear, and how do you fight this problem?

How does acne develop? Acne is a complicated chronic condition whose appearance is fuelled by various causes: the activity of the skin's sebaceous glands, increased hormone production, and unsuitable (or improperly used) cosmetics. Moreover, this skin condition can also appear because of stress or a genetic predisposition. Acne can be mild or severe.

Ways to solve the problem. Acne requires quite a long, comprehensive course of treatment. First of all, prevention is essential – responsible skincare. To ensure quality skincare, it's important to visit a specialist who will determine your skin type and prescribe suitable daily skincare products and the necessary treatment. Acne treatment depends on its type and how advanced it is: it can be treated with medicinal preparations, skin exfoliation and cleansing procedures, medicinal cosmetics, laser and other means. We remind you that AND klinika offers various beauty treatments perfectly suited to fighting acne. One of them is acid facial cleansing. During the procedure, the preparations used act on all layers of the skin, cleanse the pores, help normalise the skin's condition and improve its appearance. After a course of the prescribed procedures, the skin becomes smoother, more radiant, firmer and visually younger.

1. Try not to touch your face
2. Don't squeeze spots yourself

4. Don't stay in the sun for long
