Acne is a common problem that occurs in everyone. Acne can be caused by various factors, one of which is clogged pores. Clogged pores can occur if dirt accumulates on the skin layer. Therefore, facial cleanliness must always be maintained to prevent acne from appearing. In the treatment of acne-prone skin, one of them is by maintaining facial cleanliness using facial wash.
Facial wash serves to cleanse oil, blackheads, and dead skin cells that cause acne. The right product and consistency of using facial soap determine its effectiveness in treating acne-prone skin. To optimize acne-prone skin care, combine it with other skincare products such as serum or spot cream for the best results. The following are ways to choose the right facial soap.
Facial wash with pH 4.7-5.7 can maintain the balance of the skin. Avoid products with extreme pH that can cause excessive oil production and acne.
Make sure the product has a pH description or choose one that is labeled as low pH or pH balanced. In addition, when choosing a facial wash, check the content of surfactants in it. The higher the concentration, the more alkaline the pH tends to be. Choose a facial wash that contains gentle surfactants and avoid harsh surfactant content as it can make sensitive skin prone to irritation and acne.
The following is a list of surfactant names commonly found on facial wash labels. Gentle Surfactants: Cocamidopropyl betaine, Potassium cocoyl glycinate, Lauryl glucoside, Polyglucoside (decyl glucoside or coco glucoside), Sodium cocoyl isethionate, Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate. Harsh Surfactants: Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), Sodium laureth sulfate (SLES), Ammonium lauryl sulfate (ALS), Sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate.
"Acne-prone skin is usually associated with oily skin. Therefore, choose a facial wash with ingredients that can control oil production to prevent acne from getting worse."
The translated text while preserving HTML tags is: "Foam or gel products are lighter and have more foam, cleanse oil and dirt without residue, keep pores clean, and prevent acne."
"Although acne-prone skin tends to be oily, the skin still needs moisture because if it becomes too dry, the skin will produce excess oil as a response."
Choose a facial wash with a light moisturizer to maintain skin moisture. Humectants like glycerin and hyaluronic acid can provide moisture without clogging pores. Glycerin works to attract moisture into the skin, while hyaluronic acid works to retain water and moisturize the skin. Avoid moisturizers with ceramide and oil content to prevent the skin from feeling even more oily.
Search for a facial wash with oil control content if you have oily skin. Although not all active ingredients are fully absorbed, it can improve the effectiveness of skincare.
The ingredients that help control oil are zinc, bentonite, kaolin clay, and charcoal. Here are the benefits of the ingredients contained in facial wash. Zinc: A mineral that reduces excessive oil production on the skin and has anti-inflammatory properties. Bentonite and kaolin clay: Absorb oil and dirt, cleanse pores, and reduce excessive shine. Charcoal: Binds oil and dirt, cleanses the skin, and reduces excessive shine on oily skin.
Non-comedogenic facial cleansers do not contain occlusive moisturizing ingredients that can cause clogged pores, which worsen acne conditions.
Anti-inflammatory has many benefits, one of which can make acne deflate faster. This content can alleviate inflamed acne in both teenagers and adults.
"To alleviate acne in teenagers, choose a product with one of the active ingredients below."
Salicylic acid: Exfoliant that cleanses pores, reduces inflammation, and eliminates acne. Niacinamide: Able to reduce inflammation and soothe redness on the skin. Chamomile: Has calming effects and can alleviate skin irritation. Aloe vera: Effective as a coolant, reduces inflammation, and provides hydration to the skin.
"To prevent clogged pores and aid in skin regeneration, choose a facial wash that contains exfoliating agents such as BHA to remove dead skin cells."
"If acne is inflamed and you have sensitive skin, avoid facial wash with high levels of scrub, active ingredients, or surfactants as they have the potential to make acne worse."
In addition, for sensitive skin, consider using a facial wash that does not contain alcohol, dyes, or synthetic fragrances as they can trigger allergies and irritations on the skin.
The following 'Bahasa' text translated to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Brightening or exfoliating ingredients can remove acne scars and brighten dull skin. Choose one of these ingredients or combine brightening and exfoliating agents for optimal results."
AHA and BHA skincare play an important role in skincare as they function to exfoliate the skin.
