Ways to reduce pimples and get clear skin

Dermatologists say inflammation and breakouts are caused by a combination of factors, including hormonal changes, stress, poor diet, and using the wrong skincare products. Hormonal fluctuations (like during your period or pregnancy), stress, and foods like sugar and dairy can trigger breakouts.

Common ways to address acne and inflammation include using products with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, which help clear pores and reduce swelling. Stick to a gentle skincare routine with oil-free moisturisers and avoid harsh products. Managing stress through activities like yoga or meditation, staying hydrated, and eating anti-inflammatory foods such as salmon and nuts can also support clearer skin. Cutting back on sugar is also key to reducing flare-ups. However, it’s always a good idea to consult with a professional for personalised advice, especially if your breakouts persist or worsen.
