Indeed, hygiene and skin care in a person with seborrheic skin and acne is a very important element of the therapy. One of the culprits of acne lesions is the bacterium Priopionibacterium acnes, which spreads without the use of antibacterial agents and causes inflammatory lesions. An element in the formation of acne lesions is also excessive seborrhea, which is reduced during proper care. However, remember not to overdo this “frequent washing”. We cannot cause the skin to dry out. At the time of drying, the sebaceous glands are activated, which begin to produce a large amount of sebum, and the effect is counterproductive. To sum up: washing and care are very important, but you should not dry the skin.
