Acne is a very common inflammatory skin condition characterised by spots, blackheads and whiteheads. It often starts in early teens, for most people it tends to resolve by the late teens or early twenties, but it can last for longer and may develop for the first time in people in their late twenties or even the thirties. There are many types of acne your doctor will be able to tell you which type you have after examining your skin. The most common type is ‘acne vulgaris’.
Acne causes and triggers
It is important to take action to control acne as soon as it appears to avoid permanent scarring. Try not to pick or squeeze your spots as this usually aggravates them and may cause scarring. Remove make-up and cleanse your skin with a mild gentle Sulfate-free cleanser and water. Avoid scrubbing the skin as this will cause further irritation. Use products that are Oil-free or water-based

It’s never too soon for tweeners to start a sensible skincare routine
The first six months of life are particularly important for delicate young skin. When a child is born its skin is anatomically mature, but functional maturity continues during the first year of life and is often not complete until around the age of two.
From the age of two until puberty, children’s skin is naturally soft, smooth and full of water, but it is also a lot thinner and more vulnerable than adult skin and is therefore more liable to be affected by environmental pollutants and irritants.
Aloe vera – a skincare remedy straight from Mother Nature
The gel-like component of the aloe vera plant is known to help with a variety of skin issues like sunburn, small cuts and abrasions. The name derives from the Arabic word ‘alloeh’ - meaning shining bitter substance – and the Latin word ‘vera’ – meaning true. References to the use of aloe vera can be found in Chinese and Sumerian writings dating back to 3000BC
