Brilio.net - Skin problems in the form of acne are certainly something that is familiar to many people, especially teenagers who are growing up. Acne, or in medical terms known as acne vulgaris, generally forms as a result of lumps of dirt on the skin that clog the pores. The appearance of acne will usually make the skin look rough and painful, so it will disturb the appearance of anyone who experiences it.
The appearance of acne on the face has a strong relationship with the level of oil production and enlargement of the size of the skin pores. The reason is, skin that produces excessive sebum (natural oil) will make the pores widen. Well, that's when the pores become vulnerable to dirt such as dust particles and dead skin cells which will clog the pore cavity.
Acne has various types. Blackheads are a form of acne that generally does not cause pain. Meanwhile, there are also types of large and deep acne such as pustules, nodules, and cysts that tend to cause intense pain and inflammation. This type of painful acne has the risk of producing sores because the inflammation can damage the skin's natural protective layer. Damage to the skin barrier can clearly lead to irritation and more severe skin problems.
To deal with the annoying problem of acne, many people try to find a quick and effective solution. One solution that can be the answer to this problem is through the use of acne spot medication.
Acne spot medication is specifically designed to treat specific points so that it can solve acne problems more quickly than using other products. Usually, acne spot medicines contain active ingredients such as salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide which have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.
However, you can also overcome this problem so that your pores are clean and free of acne without using totol medication . The thing is, you can try relying on the benefits contained by natural ingredients as an alternative solution.
One of them is using a mixture of neem leaves, aloe vera and turmeric as exemplified by @beautybybhavs on Instagram, reported by briliobeauty.net on Wednesday (14/2). This method is said to be able to make clean pores free of acne.

Reporting from NDTV, neem leaves are a type of herbal plant that has strong anti-inflammatory properties thanks to its antioxidant content such as triterpenoids, flavonoids and essential fatty acids. This combination of ingredients can help cleanse the skin of clogged dirt, thereby making the pores tight and minimizing the potential for acne. In addition, the antibacterial properties of ingredients such as nimbidin and nimbin in neem leaves make it effective in treating acne-causing bacteria.
