Acne is the result of pores becoming blocked by oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. This blockage traps sebum (your skin’s natural oil), creating the perfect environment for breakouts — from small blackheads to deeper, painful cysts.
We mostly see acne on the face, chest, back, and shoulders. And while it may be common, acne certainly takes a toll on your confidence and can lead to long-term scarring if left untreated.

Steps you can take at home
- Start a gentle skincare routine — one that’s tailored to you by a professional.
- Remove your makeup each night — and use a quality moisturiser to repair your skin barrier.
- Add AHAs and vitamin A topically — this is safe once your skin barrier is repaired.
- Opt for a mineral makeup — we love Jane Iredale or Guiya.
- Take a zinc supplement — zinc plays a powerful role in regulating oil production and calming inflammation. A premium, bioavailable supplement (taken under professional advice) can help manage acne from within.
- Clean your pillowcase regularly — it can hold onto bacteria, sweat, and leftover product. Wash it every few nights and choose natural fabrics like silk or cotton to minimise irritation.
- Increase your water intake —make sure your skin is hydrated from the inside out & outside in.
