We all want supple, healthy and shiny skin. A measure of blush, highlighter or any other makeup product cannot happen with naturally healthy skin. Therefore, we prefer to take extra care for the health of our skin to keep it clean and clear at all times. No matter how careful we are, there are some inevitable skin issues that most of us will have all year round; acne is one such problem. Bacteria are basically a skin condition where the hair follicles under the skin become clogged due to excessive oil generation. This leads to small breakouts and red patches on skin. According to macrobiotic nutritionist and health professional Shilpa Arora, acne is an obvious sign of an imbalance in the body where toxins are not properly excreted. “Smallpox can be invisible and very cruel, but the fact is that it is one of the most common skin conditions in adolescents worldwide,” she adds.
While creams, skin oils and other topical applications work as a temporary solution to get rid of acne, skin experts recommend maintaining a proper balance in our body to maintain skin health from the inside out. If you look around and scroll on the internet, you will find hundreds of hacks and tips to prevent acne. So many choices can be confusing at times. Fret not, we’ve got your cover.
