Skin: How to get rid of acne naturally and permanently?

Acne is a common skin problem in adolescence, but it also affects many adults. Its pimples, often visible on the face, can become a real source of embarrassment and impact self-confidence. However, today there are natural and effective solutions to regain clear, healthy, and soothed skin .

At Délicure , we believe that beautiful skin begins with a holistic balance: a healthy lifestyle, a healthy diet, stress management, and the right natural supplements. Let's discover together how to understand, prevent, and treat acne sustainably, while respecting your skin.

Where does acne come from?

Acne is a chronic skin condition that affects the pilosebaceous follicles, the cavities in the epidermis where hairs and sebaceous glands are located. The latter produce sebum, an essential oily substance that protects the skin from external aggressions and maintains its natural hydration.

When everything is working properly, sebum flows freely and protects the skin. But in the case of acne-prone skin, the sebaceous glands produce too much sebum, often thicker. This excess accumulates along with dead cells and clogs the pores. This phenomenon leads to the formation of blackheads, pimples, and sometimes painful inflammation.

This obstruction also promotes the proliferation of a bacteria called Propionibacterium acnes , which is naturally present on the skin. By multiplying in an oxygen-deprived environment, it triggers the famous skin rashes associated with acne.

What are the symptoms of acne?

Acne can manifest in different forms, depending on the type and severity:

• Blackheads (open comedones) : small fatty deposits that clog skin pores. They are often seen on the nose, forehead, and chin.
• Whiteheads (closed comedones) : blocked under the skin, they give a grainy appearance to the touch.
• Papules and pustules : red, painful spots, sometimes topped with a small white dot filled with pus.
• Nodules and cysts : deeper, hard and painful, they can leave scars if manipulated.

The most commonly affected areas are the face, neck, back, and chest. Acne often progresses in flare-ups, which can last for several years before complete improvement. Even after the spots disappear, red or pigmented scars may persist.

What causes acne?

The causes of acne are multiple and often combined:

1. Hormones

Hormonal fluctuations are the main cause, especially during adolescence, menstruation, pregnancy, or when stopping hormonal contraception. Androgens stimulate sebum production, making the skin more prone to blemishes.

2. Stress and fatigue

Stress releases hormones like cortisol, which can unbalance the hormonal system and stimulate sebum production. As a result, skin becomes inflamed and pimples appear. To help manage stress naturally, Délicure has developed vegan and natural gummies made with rhodiola, saffron, and holy basil , combined with GABA and vitamin B6. These active ingredients promote relaxation, reduce nervous tension, and help restore an inner balance that is beneficial for the skin.

3. Food

A diet high in refined sugars, dairy products, or ultra-processed foods can affect hormones and sebum production. Conversely, a balanced diet rich in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants (fruits, vegetables, nuts, oily fish, etc.) helps maintain healthy skin.

4. External factors

Pollution, excessive perspiration, rubbing against clothing, or wearing a mask can clog pores and accentuate imperfections. Using unsuitable or harsh cosmetics can also weaken the skin barrier.

What treatments are there to get rid of acne?

Because acne is a complex condition, it is important to adopt a comprehensive approach: medical treatment if necessary, appropriate care, rigorous hygiene and a healthy lifestyle.

1. Consult a dermatologist

Acne is one of the leading reasons for dermatological consultations. The doctor assesses the severity, type of pimples, and hormonal background to prescribe a personalized treatment (topical creams, antibiotics, retinoids, or hormonal treatments). These treatments are effective but can be irritating or drying, hence the importance of complementing them with gentle, natural skincare.

2. Adopt the right actions every day

• Cleanse skin morning and evening with a gentle, alcohol-free cleanser to remove sebum and impurities without damaging the skin.
• Avoid touching your pimples to avoid spreading bacteria or causing scarring.
• Change your pillowcases regularly and clean your cell phone, two common sources of bacteria.
• Remove makeup carefully with a non-comedogenic product suitable for sensitive skin.

3. Anti-acne diet

To limit flare-ups, choose a diet rich in B vitamins and trace minerals like zinc , magnesium, and selenium. These nutrients help regulate sebum production and support healing. Foods rich in omega-3s, like oily fish or flaxseeds, also help reduce inflammation.

4. The role of sleep and relaxation

A good night's sleep allows the skin to regenerate. However, lack of sleep increases stress and skin inflammation. To help restore your natural rhythm, Délicure offers sleep gummies made with melatonin, linden, and passionflower, which promote sleep and deep rest. Sleeping better also helps your skin breathe more easily.

5. Take care of your skin with the right products

Skincare products should be non-comedogenic , gentle, and purifying. Exfoliating too frequently, using harsh masks, or using harsh soaps can make things worse. Instead, opt for light moisturizers, regulating plant oils (jojoba, black cumin, hazelnut), and suitable natural skincare products.

6. Complete your routine with collagen

To strengthen skin from within, the Délicure collagen treatment is a valuable ally. Our patented Cartidyss® collagen is scientifically proven to improve skin firmness and elasticity while reducing wrinkles. By stimulating cell regeneration, it also helps reduce the marks left by acne and restore a more even complexion.

7. Protect yourself from the sun

Contrary to popular belief, the sun does not permanently improve acne. After a period of improvement, the thickened skin clogs up and pimples reappear. It is therefore essential to use suitable, light, and non-comedogenic sunscreen .

Towards soothed and radiant skin

Getting rid of acne requires patience, but every little bit helps. By combining gentle hygiene, a balanced diet, good sleep, and natural skincare, your skin gradually regains its balance. Délicure supports you in this comprehensive wellness approach by offering simple, natural, and effective supplements and rituals.

Remember: skin is a reflection of our inner balance. By taking care of yourself, you are taking care of it.
