Obviously, it’s important to have a healthy diet for lots of other reasons, but avoiding spots is not one of them. Acne is not caused by eating too many sweets, chocolate or fatty foods (although healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle is good for your general health). Neither is it caused by not washing properly (although a good skin care routine is an important part of treatment). The exact cause of acne is not fully understood, but we do know that it involves the hair follicles in our skin and their associated oil-producing glands (the so-called “pilosebaceous units”). Often around the onset of puberty, hormones stimulate increased production of sebum (oil) by these glands. Here you will find guidence on how to get the best results from the Freederm range of products, as well as lots of useful information - and some great tips to help you improve your skin. Sleep well. Getting plenty of good quality sleep is really important for healthy glowing skin. Ideally, you need to be getting between 7 and 9 hours sleep a night.

People with severe acne. Ask your pharmacist or doctor for advice on treatment if you have very bad acne. Don't squeeze: Don't touch angry red spots - you'll force the bacteria deeper into the skin, and the spot will become even angrier and redder. Don't squeeze white raised lumps. Persevere with treatment because it can take several weeks for the skin’s normal repair process to work. Cleanse twice a day morning and night, using a mild anti-bacterial wash or facial cleanser. (Don't go mad though - too much washing can end up making spots worse, as it can leave skin too dry and sore.) Fact: While the peak for acne is between the ages of 14 and 17, it can remain a problem well into adulthood.Rinse off conditioners and hair treatments thoroughly, especially around the hairline, to avoid any build-up of oil on the skin around the edges of your face.
