Acne is a skin problem caused by the complex interplay of various factors, including sebum, dead skin cells, hormones, and lifestyle habits. In particular, since improper management can worsen acne, it is said to be important to know the correct methods for acne-prone skin care.

Today, I will explain everything from the causes of acne to acne skin care methods, divided into home care and dermatological procedures!

1. Causes of acne

The first step in managing acne-prone skin is identifying the cause. It is said that the causes of acne are as follows.

 

1) Excessive sebum secretion

First of all, one of the biggest causes of acne is excessive sebum production. It is said that when sebum is secreted in excess, pores become clogged, which can lead to acne.

 

2) Keratin accumulation

It is also said that if dead skin cells do not shed properly and accumulate, they clog pores and cause acne.

 

3) Hormonal changes

It is said that puberty, menstrual cycles, and stress can also cause acne.

2. Acne Skin Care Methods (Home Care)

It is said that balance is more important than over-care when it comes to acne-prone skin. I will tell you about some ways to manage acne at home.

 

1) Proper facial cleansing

It is said that while acne-prone skin may appear oily, it is often actually dehydrated and has a damaged stratum corneum. Therefore, rather than excessive washing, it is important to cleanse gently twice a day using a low-irritation cleanser.

2) Exfoliation

Since the accumulation of dead skin cells can trigger acne, regularly exfoliating is one of the methods for managing acne-prone skin. However, exfoliating too frequently can weaken the skin barrier, so it is important to exfoliate at an appropriate frequency depending on your skin type.

3) Hydration

Moisturizing is essential for acne-prone skin as well. It is important to thoroughly apply a moisturizing cream or hydrating cream after cleansing, and choosing non-comedogenic products that do not clog pores is also said to be helpful.

4) Lifestyle management

It is said that avoiding excessive consumption of greasy foods that can increase sebum secretion and regularly changing items such as pillow covers can help with acne-prone skin care.

3. Acne Skin Care Methods (Dermatological Procedures)

If it is difficult to manage acne with home care, combining it with dermatological procedures can be helpful.

 

1) Basic Care

Basic care is the foundation of acne treatment, and it is said to proceed in the order of extraction, whitening peel, anti-inflammatory injection, and soothing pack.

The Aqua Basic treatment adds an Aqua Peel to the Basic treatment, and it is said to help remove sebum and impurities.

The price for the Maypure Basic treatment is 60,000 won per session, and the price for the Aqua Basic treatment is 80,000 won per session.

 

2) PDT

If you are concerned about excessive sebum secretion or acne redness, you may consider PDT. PDT is a treatment that destroys sebaceous glands and acne bacteria by applying a substance to the skin that is absorbed by them and then exposing it to light.

They say the price of Maypure PDT is 80,000 won per session.
