Clear skin is not about using the most products—it’s about using the right ones consistently. Whether it’s face acne or scalp acne, your skin can improve dramatically with a structured, dermatologist-backed approach.
Different acne types need different solutions. Face acne can be whiteheads, blackheads, pustules, cystic acne, or hormonal acne. Scalp acne often shows up as painful bumps or folliculitis, usually triggered by oil buildup, sweat, and improper washing.
If you don’t know your acne type, you risk treating it incorrectly, which often makes things worse.
Most people with stubborn acne either do too much or too little. The goal is to build a routine that strengthens your skin barrier while gently treating acne.
Your routine should include:
For the scalp, use a mild medicated shampoo, avoid applying heavy oils, and wash regularly to prevent buildup.
Diet doesn’t cause acne on its own, but it can definitely influence it. Sugary snacks, fried food, dairy-heavy diets, and excessive caffeine can worsen inflammation.
If you notice new breakouts after certain meals, your diet may be contributing. Adding more fruits, water-rich foods, and omega-3 sources can support clearer skin.
Certain habits make acne significantly worse:
Breaking these habits can show visible improvements within weeks.
If your acne leaves scars, marks, or keeps coming back despite home care, a dermatologist can diagnose underlying causes such as hormones, infections, or barrier damage. You may need prescription creams, oral medication, or clinical treatments like chemical peels.
Don’t wait until it’s too late — take action now.
