Brilio.net - The appearance of acne on the surface of the face is the most worrying problem for a number of people, especially when the acne is inflamed. In this condition, acne makes your facial skin feel painful. Even the appearance of red acne makes you feel less confident about doing outdoor activities.
Acne occurs when the hair follicles in the skin become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. This can lead to the formation of comedones, known as open plugs (blackheads) or closed plugs (whiteheads).
Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) bacteria on the skin can also cause inflammation and swelling around the follicles, which ultimately results in acne. The causes of acne come from excessive oil gland production, hormonal changes, use of unsuitable skincare products, stress, and genetic factors.
Even though these inflamed acne make you uncomfortable, you don't need to worry. The reason is that you can get rid of this acne in various ways. Such as using anti-acne cream, treatments at beauty clinics, and topical treatments, even using acne patches.
Apart from using these tricks, there are ways to get rid of acne that are easy for you to use. As did YouTube user @deebasbeautyremedie, he applied a mask made from watermelon juice. This ingredient is then combined with multani mitti and aloe vera gel.
Watermelon is not only delicious to enjoy, but also contains a number of nutrients that are beneficial for the skin. This fruit contains mostly water, so it can help maintain skin hydration.
Reporting from myglamm.com, Tuesday (2/4) the antioxidant content in watermelon, such as lycopene, can help reduce inflammation of the skin associated with acne. Watermelon can have a refreshing effect on the skin, thereby helping reduce redness and irritation associated with acne.
Multani mitti is a natural clay that has long been used in skin care and has healing properties that are beneficial for oily skin and acne. This natural ingredient has the ability to absorb excess oil from the skin, help clean pores, and prevent blockages that can cause acne. The anti-inflammatory properties of multani mitti may help reduce the redness and inflammation associated with acne.
Meanwhile, aloe vera gel has anti-inflammatory properties which can help reduce inflammation in acne and relieve redness. The water content in aloe vera gel helps maintain skin moisture without leaving an oily feeling, suitable for oily skin that tends to be prone to acne. Meanwhile, the proteolytic enzymes in aloe vera gel help remove dead skin cells and help prevent clogged pores which can cause acne.
