1. Classification of acne
Acne skin types will usually depend on the type of acne. Simple acne can be divided into inflammatory acne and non-inflammatory acne.
Non-inflammatory acne: Non-inflammatory acne refers to clogged pores and appears as blackheads or whiteheads. This type of acne is a mild condition and is easily recognized. Blackheads have a dark appearance and may appear slightly raised above the surface of the skin. Whiteheads are small pimples that are closer in color to your skin and are more hidden than blackheads. Inflammatory acne: These types of acne will often be red or irregular in color and will be classified as inflammatory acne. Papules are small red bumps, while pustules are small bumps that contain pus. In some cases papules can turn into pustules. It then grows deeper under the skin and causes pain to the patient. These bumps are usually larger than pimples and feel like they are under the skin.

If the skin appears flaky, rough, or red, it could be dry skin. Accordingly, combination skin will often appear dry on the cheeks and shiny on the forehead, nose and chin (T-zone). Meanwhile, normal skin will have healthy skin and no problem for the skin.

5. Some tips and myths in acne skin care
Acne treatment does not only involve the use of aftercare products for results. It also depends on factors including cleaning and daily lifestyle changes. Some tips and myths in acne skin care:
Wash your face twice a day and after sweating: Wash your face when you wake up and before going to bed, or after sweating a lot. However, if you wash your face a lot, it can cause skin irritation. Be gentle with your skin, avoid scrubbing or using harsh chemical exfoliants. So scrubbing vigorously or using an exfoliator can make the skin redder and more prone to irritation. Do not pick or pop a pimple: This will make it even more likely to pop up. More dangerous, it can also leave scars on the skin. In addition, this action can transfer bacteria from the outside into the pores and cause small pimples to turn into deep and inflammatory acne. In case you want to get rid of acne, you can use warm pressure to open the pores and gently use the tool to press down on the sides of the blackheads and whiteheads to remove them from the pores. However, this should be avoided because deeper types of acne such as pustules often cause infections and other serious problems. Regularly clean utensils that come in direct contact with the skin. Bed sheets, makeup brushes, and even phone screens can all be pore-clogging factors. To prevent this, you should change your sheets weekly and pillowcases two or three times a week. Makeup tools or phones should be cleaned every day. Before using skin care products, carefully check the list of ingredients in the product. Avoid any products that contain fragrances and alcohol. Rethink your hair care routine: Hair care recipes from shampoos and conditioners to styling products can cause breakouts in areas like the neck and forehead. Oil in the hair can transfer to the skin. Therefore, it is best to try to keep the hair less exposed to the face, especially at night. Keep skin hydrated: Hydrated skin works against excess oil that leads to acne. However, more future studies are still needed to clarify this issue.
