Dubai: 8 out of 10 people around the world are likely to suffer from acne at some point in their lives. Dubai residents are no exception and dermatologists say that the number of acne patients in the emirate is on the rise.

The causes of persistent pimples and daily rashes can range from poor diets to environmental factors to genetics and hormonal variations, Dr. Kumar said.

What is Acne?

Acne is a skin disease that is particularly common among adolescents, though some people have acne that lasts into adulthood. Early and targeted acne treatment can help manage symptoms and prevent long-term skin damage.

Acne involves a disorder with glands in the skin that are located next to hair follicles. These glands, called sebaceous glands, secrete an oily substance called sebum. Everyone has these glands, and the secretion of sebum is normal, but people with acne have larger glands that release more sebum into the skin. This overproduction is one of the primary acne causes, as the excess sebum can trap oil, bacteria, and skin cells—leading to clogged pores and inflammation. That’s why acne treatment is essential to address the underlying causes and restore skin health.

Different Types of Acne

Blackheads

Blackheads are small bumps that appear on your skin due to clogged hair follicles. These bumps are called “blackheads” because the surface looks dark or black. Blackheads are a mild type of acne that usually form on the face, but they can also appear on the back, chest, neck, arms, and shoulders.

Whiteheads

In terms of appearance, they’re pretty much exactly what they sound like: small blemishes with whitish “heads,” which result when the follicles get plugged with sebum and dead skin cells. Sebum is another word for oil but doesn’t be alarmed. Your skin needs a certain amount of natural oil to protect and nourish your skin. It’s only when there are excess sebum and dead skin cells that you risk clogged pores.

Papules

Considering papules represent the phase beyond whiteheads—when bacteria, sebum, and dead skin cells under the skin cause inflammation—you’ll notice them by their redness and swelling, without pus. They’re typically small to medium in size. Since inflammation and irritation are key symptoms, avoid applying anything that could dry them out further. At this stage, the goal of natural acne treatment in Dubai is to soothe and calm the area until the inflammation subsides.

Pustules

Pustules are small bumps on the skin that contain fluid or pus. They usually present as white bumps surrounded by red skin. These bumps look very similar to pimples, but they can grow quite big. These painful breakouts may appear on the back, chest, and face, often forming in clusters.

Severe Acne: Nodules, Cysts, and Acne conglobata

If you’ve got a face full of large, red, inflamed blemishes that seem to last for months, chances are you’ve got one type of severe acne: nodules, cysts, or acne conglobata. These are indicative of a deeper condition than your average acne type and can cause more severe and permanent damage to your skin if left untreated.

If topical, over-the-counter treatments aren’t clearing these types of blemishes after a few weeks, it’s time to see a dermatologist for stronger, prescription-strength medicine.

Who Gets Acne?

Acne is the most common skin disease. People of all races and ages get acne. But it is most common in teenagers and young adults. An estimated 80 percent of all people between the ages of 11 and 30 have acne outbreaks at some point. Some people in their forties and fifties still experience occasional acne breakouts.

The Causes of Acne

How Your Diet Affects Natural Acne Treatment Outcomes

Food allergies are the number one cause of acne, and the worse the acne the more likely food allergies are involved. Eating a food to which the body is allergic leads to a continuous toxic reaction, which may trigger a breakout in acne-prone individuals. In such a case the immune system fights the food as if it were an invading organism. This can cause inflammation in the skin (and many other conditions), as well as the need to eliminate the toxin. 

Studies indicate that certain dietary factors, including dairy products and carbohydrate-rich foods — such as bread, bagels and chips — may trigger acne. Chocolate has long been suspected of making acne worse.

Why Natural Acne Treatment Matters Most During Puberty

The most common type of acne develops during puberty. The brain releases GnRH, which triggers the pituitary gland to release LH and FSH. These hormones signal the skin glands to produce more sebum, leading to pimples.

How Your Genes Influence the Right Natural Acne Treatment in Dubai

Hereditary factors can have a significant effect on the skin. If your parents have struggled with acne, you are genetically predisposed to do the same. Acne Einstein examined various studies about the effects of genetics on this common skin condition and found concrete evidence linking heredity and acne.

Environmental Factors That Can Impact Natural Acne Treatment in Dubai

The environment you live in can affect your skin. If you live in an air that’s heavily saturated with pollution, you may find your skin is clogged more easily, resulting in more frequent acne breakouts.

Exposure to oil and grease in the workplace or at home can also have an effect on your acne. If you live in humid conditions, work a physically demanding job that causes excessive sweating, or stay extremely active, you might notice changes in your skin.

Medical Conditions

Certain medical conditions can exacerbate or trigger acne flare-ups. For example, women with the polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) can experience breakouts.

About 5 to 10 percent of women have PCOS, and if you’ve noticed excessive hair growth, irregular periods, and weight gain, along with noticeable acne breakouts, it’s a good idea to speak with your doctor.

Certain Medications and Natural Acne Treatment in Dubai

Your medicine cabinet could be having a huge effect on your skin—and may even influence the type of acne treatment you need. Certain medications contain steroids; manufacturers commonly label ingestible ones as prednisone and topical ones as cortisone or hydrocortisone. In such cases, a natural acne treatment in Dubai is essential to restore hormonal balance and reduce flare-ups. Always check if acne appears under adverse effects when starting any new medication.

Contraceptives can also become a culprit of increased acne conditions. Choosing the right natural acne treatment in Dubai depends on understanding these hormonal shifts and their impact on the skin.

Natural Home Remedies for Acne Treatment in Dubai

Apple cider vinegar

Apple cider vinegar contains malic and lactic acids that can exfoliate, reduce red marks, and support natural acne treatment in Dubai. For a DIY toner, mix equal parts apple cider vinegar and water and apply to the skin with a cotton ball, making sure to shake well before each use.

Green tea

has antimicrobial and antioxidant compounds that can help fight acne and reduce the severity of a breakout.

Honey

antibiotic properties can help improve acne. Apply a teaspoon of honey to affected areas, or make a mask by mixing 1/2 cup of honey with 1 cup of plain oatmeal and leaving it on for 30 minutes.

Mint

can help remove pore-clogging oil and works well as a natural acne treatment. To help clear acne before it begins, mix 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh mint with two tablespoons each of plain yogurt and oatmeal (use a blender to pulverize the oatmeal to powder). Leave the concoction on your face for 10 minutes, then rinse off with water.

People traditionally use echinacea to speed wound healing and prevent colds and flu.
Its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties also help treat acne.
Use echinacea tea as a daily face wash by soaking a cloth in it.
You can also apply a few drops of tincture on a cotton ball and dab it on blemishes.

Aloe

known for its burn-relieving properties, can promote healing, fight infection, and even reduce scarring. Scrape the gel from an aloe plant out with a spoon, and apply to acne. You can also buy aloe gel from health-food stores—just make sure it’s pure aloe, with no added ingredients.

Papaya

If you’re familiar with high-end skincare products, you probably already know that papaya is a common ingredient in acne treatments. But you can enjoy the same benefits with a natural acne treatment in Dubai using fresh papaya. Simply mash the papaya flesh into a paste, apply it directly to the skin, leave it on for up to 30 minutes, then rinse and moisturize.

Coconut Oil

is antibacterial and antifungal. Coconut oil is also extremely moisturizing and gentle. It helps fight the bacteria and reduce redness. Apply the coconut oil to your skin and massage it in. You can reapply a couple of times per day. With coconut oil, there is no need to ever use a moisturizer again, it works so well and doesn’t clog your pores. For optimal benefit, use organic coconut oil that is unrefined.

Egg whites

make a great natural acne treatment when used as a facial mask. Egg whites reduce the oil and minimize your pores in addition to drawing out impurities. To use it, separate the egg white from the yolk, use a cotton ball or you can use your fingers to apply the egg white to your skin. After a few minutes, you’ll start to feel it tighten, you can leave it on anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour. Afterward, your skin will have an amazing glow!

Examples of some over-the-counter products used to treat acne include:

• Benzoyl peroxide (such as Brevoxyl or Triaz), which unplugs pores.
• Alpha hydroxy acid, which dries up blemishes and causes the top skin layer to peel. You’ll find alpha hydroxy acid in some moisturizers, cleansers, eye creams, and sunscreens.
• Salicylic acid (such as Propa pH or Stridex), which dries up blemishes and causes the top skin layer to peel.
• Tea tree oil, which kills bacteria. You’ll find tea tree oil in some gels, creams, and oils.

Natural Acne Treatment in Dubai Mistakes: Home Remedies That Make It Worse

Lemon

I don’t know how rubbing citrus fruits on your face became a thing but they are all over the internet as a supposed treatment to red marks with the claim to exfoliate and brighten skin. The truth is, lemons can’t exfoliate properly, can cause irritation, and even cause light sensitivity. Just don’t do it.

Baking Soda

Baking soda is basic on the pH scale and can disrupt the skin’s natural balance, potentially worsening breakouts. Some try to follow it with an acidic toner like apple cider vinegar, but by then, the damage is often already done. At that point, even a natural acne treatment in Dubai may take time to calm the irritation and restore skin health.

Walnuts, scrubs, sugar, etc.

Scrubs are not a good idea for anybody, especially those with acne. Many scrubs tear at the skin causing mini lacerations that can open homes for infections or cause irritation. I would generally stay away from anything ending in the scrub.

What makes acne worse?

• If this occurs, your acne treatment may need to be adjusted accordingly.
• A hormone-sensitive acne treatment plan can help manage these cyclical breakouts more effectively.
• Thick or greasy make-up may, possibly, make acne worse. However, most make-up does not affect acne. You can use make-up to cover some mild spots. Non-comedogenic or oil-free products are most helpful for acne-prone skin types.
• Picking and squeezing can worsen the breakout, causing more inflammation and increasing the risk of scarring.
• Sweating heavily or humid conditions may make acne worse. For example, doing regular hot work in kitchens. In such cases, a customized acne treatment should include steps to manage sweat and reduce pore blockage.
• Spots may develop under tight clothes. For example, under headbands, tight bra straps, tight collars, etc. This may be due to increased sweating and friction under tight clothing.
• Some medicines can make acne worse. For example, phenytoin (which some people take for epilepsy) and steroid creams and ointments that are used for eczema. Do not stop a prescribed medicine if you suspect it is making your acne worse but tell your doctor. An alternative may be an option.
• When steroid use is involved, an acne treatment must address internal hormonal triggers as well.
• An overgrowth of yeast, particularly Malassezia, can also contribute to acne-like breakouts, especially on the chest, back, and shoulders. This fungal imbalance disrupts the skin’s microbiome and may require a different approach to acne treatment.
• It used to be thought that diets high in sugar and milk products made acne worse, but research has failed to find strong evidence to support this.

Emotional Consequences of Acne and the Role of Natural Acne Treatment in Dubai

Having acne does not just mean superficial or cosmetic changes to the skin—it has an emotional aspect to it as well. Since the face is one of the primary areas affected by acne the visibility of facial breakouts often leads to embarrassment and self-consciousness, especially in social settings.

• Low self-esteem
• Loss of confidence
• Depression

That’s why it’s essential to choose an acne treatment that targets the root cause—not just the symptoms—for a lasting cure. Acne affects people of all genders and ages. Beyond its impact on appearance, it lowers quality of life and actively reduces productivity and employability due to its emotional toll.

This impact on the quality of life is comparable to what is seen in diseases like epilepsy or asthma. There are also several myths surrounding acne, and this can cause misplaced feelings of guilt that worsen the emotional effects of the disease.
