Acne happens when your hair follicles get blocked by oil and dead skin cells. Not staying hydrated can make your skin produce extra oil, clogging your pores and causing acne and inflammation.

Skin hydration holds the key to unlocking clearer, healthier skin, especially when it comes to combating acne.

Regulates sebum production: Properly hydrated skin is less likely to trigger excess sebum (natural oil) production, helping to prevent clogged pores and breakouts.

Reduces Inflammation: Hydrated skin is more resilient and less prone to inflammation, which can help calm existing acne lesions and prevent new ones from forming.

Supports healing: Well-hydrated skin is better equipped to repair and regenerate itself, accelerating the healing process of acne lesions and minimising scarring.

Enhances skin barrier function: Adequate hydration helps maintain the skin's natural barrier function, protecting it from external aggressors and preventing further irritation and inflammation.
