What is Acne-Prone Skin?
Simply put, if acne breakouts are frequent to you, then you can say you have acne-prone skin. This isn't your regular pimple outbreak which happens sometimes, but instead is a frequent occurrence that leaves your skin with acne and sometimes even inflamed skin.
What causes acne?
Acne is caused by a combination of factors, including overproduction of oil, a buildup of dead skin cells, and bacterial infection. Hormonal changes, genetics, and certain medications can also contribute to the development of acne.
How can I prevent acne breakouts?
To prevent acne breakouts, it is important to maintain a healthy diet, get enough sleep, and minimise stress. Additionally, avoiding touching your face and keeping your hands clean can help to prevent acne from forming. Also, using non-comedogenic products and removing makeup at the end of the day can help prevent the clogging of pores. Using products such as the Silvan Skincare Balance Face Cream containing Ylang Ylang for antibacterial properties and being non-comedogenic will boost your skin responses and help your skin fight the outbreak.
What products help prevent and repair acne-prone skin?
Look for products that contain salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, as they are known to be effective in fighting acne. Additionally, products containing retinoids, which are derivatives of vitamin A, can also be effective in fighting acne by helping to unclog pores and reduce inflammation. For salicylic acid, use the UpCircle Beauty Face Moisturiser with Vitamin E. Did you know Goat's Milk is naturally high in retinoids?

What are some natural remedies for acne?
Some natural remedies for acne include using tea tree oil, aloe vera gel, honey, green tea, and turmeric. An excellent cleansing balm is the Beauty Balm - Tea Tree Cleansing Balm or the Silvan Skincare Soothe Face Cream with GM-free Vitamin A.
What are some common mistakes people make when trying to treat acne-prone skin?
Overwashing or over-exfoliating your skin can actually make acne worse. Also, using too many products or using products that are too harsh can cause irritation and dryness. Soft moisturisers are most beneficial, with Night Moisturisers boosted with salicylic acids, such as the UpCircle Beauty Night Cream with Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide.
Is it okay to wear makeup when you have acne-prone skin?
Yes, it is okay to wear makeup when you have acne-prone skin, but it is important to use non-comedogenic (non-pore-clogging) makeup and to clean your skin thoroughly before applying makeup. Also, it's recommended to use minimal makeup, opt for lightweight formulas, and make sure to remove makeup at the end of the day to prevent clogging of pores, which can lead to breakouts.
