Acne & Congestion

Effective Acne and Congestion Treatments in Woodcroft | A Scent of Beauty

What is Acne and Congestion?

Acne and congestion occur when pores become blocked with excess oil (sebum), dead skin cells, and bacteria.

This blockage leads to blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, and sometimes deeper cysts or nodules.

Congestion refers to the build-up of impurities and dead cells in pores, often causing dullness and texture irregularities even before visible acne appears.

Common Causes of Acne and Congestion

Hormonal fluctuations (e.g., puberty, menstrual cycle, stress)
Excess oil production by sebaceous glands
Dead skin cell build-up blocking pores
Bacterial overgrowth (Propionibacterium acnes)
Inappropriate skincare or heavy makeup
Diet and lifestyle factors
Environmental pollutants and humidity

Types of Acne

Comedonal Acne: Blackheads and whiteheads caused by clogged pores

Inflammatory Acne: Red, swollen pimples or pustules

Cystic Acne: Deep, painful cysts that can cause scarring
