Salicylic Acne Lotion: Alcohol-free lotion with salicylic acid

It is believed that acne (acne) is mainly affected by teenagers - during a difficult transition period, both boys and girls experience global hormonal changes in the entire body. Many adults also face the problem of acne. Moreover, it is not immediately possible to find out the causes of such a disease in them. It’s one thing if the disease is mild. It’s completely different when acne leaves scars, scars and blemishes. Getting rid of them is very difficult, sometimes almost impossible. That is why it is necessary to actively engage in treatment. An anti-acne lotion can help with this.

What are blackheads?

Blackheads (open comedones or blackheads) are a plug from a mixture of oxidized sebum, particles of dead skin cells, dust and remnants of decorative cosmetics. They arise against the background of increased secretion of the sebaceous glands, as a result of which the pores expand and are more susceptible to clogging.

According to epidemiological studies, open comedones are a problem that occurs in people of different age categories, and not just in adolescents in puberty. Mostly such rashes are localized in areas of excessive sebum production and the largest number of active sebaceous and sweat glands: forehead, nose, chin (in other words, in the T-zone).

The best remedies for blackheads on the nose and face

Properly selected comprehensive basic care will prevent the occurrence of blackheads. Let's look at which cosmetic care products are most effective in the fight against acne.

Gels and foams for washing against blackheads

Regular cleansing in the morning and evening is a key step in the beauty routine for oily and problematic skin. Cleansing should be aimed at removing excess sebum from the face. The formulas of the cleansers also contain sebum-regulating and mattifying components that reduce its production by the sebaceous ducts.

• Effaclar Ultra range micellar water
  will help remove excess sebum, sweat and cosmetics without water: a special combination of micelles, thermal water, glycerin and zinc, which has antibacterial properties, provides oily skin with delicate cleansing and the necessary care.

Choose lightweight, non-comedogenic, alkaline-free gels and foams with a normal or acidic pH. Aggressive cleansing with alcohol-containing solutions or alkaline soap violates the skin's natural protective barrier - the hydrolipid film. As a result of this excessive degreasing, dehydrated skin reacts by increasing the synthesis of sebum in order to moisturize naturally.

• Provide the dermis with gentle cleansing, use gels or foams for washing that do not contain alcohol or aggressive acids. foaming gel for oily, acne-prone skin
  will gently remove excess sebum and deeply cleanse pores . The gel does not dry out sensitive skin and gives it a feeling of cleanliness and freshness for a long time.

Clay masks for blackheads

The formulas of mineral masks based on clay and its derivatives have a pronounced absorbent effect, literally pull out the remaining sebum from the pores, normalize its synthesis, and mattify the skin well. Use these masks 1-2 times a week to deeply cleanse your face.

Exfoliants

Dead skin particles are part of the sebaceous plug, which is why it is so important to exfoliate the skin in a timely manner. Exfoliants (soft scrubs, peelings, gommages) remove the stratum corneum of cells, preventing clogging of pores. Formulas based on acids and enzymes are also suitable for exfoliating problem skin.

Effaclar Micro-Exfoliating Cleansing Gel

with acids (salicylic and lipohydroxy acid) removes the keratinized layer of cells without scrubbing particles, eliminates impurities, and prevents clogging of pores.

Lotions for blackheads

Another effective remedy for acne are lotions with a sebum-regulating effect, dissolving blackheads and narrowing pores. The lotion is applied to previously cleansed skin and prepares it for basic care, improving the absorption of its beneficial components by cells.

Effaclar pore tightening lotion will help remove residual cleanser and impurities, as well as reduce pore size.

. The ultra-soft formula of the product gently cares for the skin, smoothing and mattifying its surface. The lotion also prepares the epidermis for the application of the cream.

Stripes against blackheads

Strips that pull out sebaceous plugs from pores are a working way to quickly cleanse pores of impurities. Apply a special adhesive strip mask to cleansed skin, leave it for 15-20 minutes and carefully remove it like a band-aid. Then apply a clay mask or wipe the area with lotion for best results and tighten pores.

Creams against acne and blackheads

Corrective care (creams, serums) will help prevent not only the formation of blackheads, but also their transformation into pimples. The sebaceous plug creates a favorable airless environment for the proliferation of acne bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes or Malassezia), which contribute to the development of inflammatory elements. A cream for blackheads, in addition to matting and antimicrobial, should have moisturizing properties that prevent tissue dehydration. Let's take a closer look at effective remedies against blackheads.

Folk remedies for blackheads: will they help?

Home remedies for blackheads are a common way to cleanse the skin of sebaceous plugs at home.

The following are often used in cleansing masks:

• tea tree, which relieves inflammation and cleanses pores;
• clay (white, blue, black) as an absorbent of sebum and other impurities that clog pores;
• egg white, which has an anti-inflammatory effect;
• baking soda cleanses pores, relieves and dries inflammation.

These are not all the available components that are used to prepare cleaning products at home. But each of them in their pure form has a number of contraindications, as they can cause an allergic reaction and provoke new foci of inflammation. Experts in the field of dermatology do not recommend resorting to such a prescription, replacing them with professional care with clinically proven effectiveness.

IMPORTANT! Salicylic lotion is not recommended for use if:

• individual intolerance to one or more components of the acne lotion;
• active phase of dermatitis of any origin;
• allergic skin reactions to vaccinations and medications;
• exacerbation of herpetic infection;
• deep damage to the epidermis (burns, wounds);
• high skin sensitivity.

To make the use of medicinal cosmetics more convenient, PROPELLER produces salicylic acne lotion for different skin types.

Causes of blackheads on the face and preventive measures

• Insufficient cleansing of facial skin
  is one of the key causes of imperfections. Twice a day, wash your face with foams or gels for oily problem skin or wipe your face with micellar water, which delicately removes remaining impurities from the skin and prevents clogging of pores.
• Excessive exfoliation and squeaky cleansing
  is the other side of the coin. Aggressive formulas of alkali- or alcohol-based cleansers disrupt the hydrolipidic mantle of the skin and provoke dehydration. Choose gentle formulas with a normal or acidic pH.
• Insufficient hydration
  disrupts the hydrobalance of cells and triggers increased sebum synthesis. Dryness also occurs as a result of over-cleaning, excess matting and exposure to negative external factors. Use corrective care with hydrofixatives at the base of the formula to maintain the water balance of cells.
• Incorrect care
  also negatively affects the condition of the epidermis. For example, greasy, oily textures in dry skin products clog pores and can cause breakouts. Choose non-comedogenic formulas for oily, problem and combination skin.
• An unbalanced diet
  is another cause of imperfections in oily problem skin. Fatty, sweet, salty, spicy foods increase the activity of the sebaceous and sweat glands. Switch to a healthy diet enriched with fiber, vitamins and minerals that will help normalize your skin from the inside out.
