Purpose: This study aims to propose a fundamental method in preventing the occurrence of acne in adult women and suggest an efficient way of protecting individuals who are highly vulnerable to acne. Acne, one of the most common skin problems, is characterized by a high prevalence and recurrence rate as well as difficulty to achieve a complete cure. Therefore, daily care for acne is important.
Method: Data were collected from May 1, 2019 to May 17, 2019. Frequency and percentage values were assessed using the SPSS program along with the chi square-test.
Results: Regarding the worsening factors, the first factor that aggravates the symptoms of acne is poor facial hygiene. The second non-dietary factor is chronic stress, and there are genetic causes for the symptoms. In addition, dietary factors include excessive intake of milk tea. The third factor is excessive sleeping or lack of sleep. According to the findings of the study, 1) most respondents answered that they had acne breakouts on their face or body; 2) most acne cases first occurred at the ages of 14?16 years; 3) there were irregular ongoing cases of acne over 3?5 years; and 4) most acne conditions were characterized by black-heads/white-heads. When acne worsens, the methods to treat it are frequently washing the face and drinking plenty of water. Moreover, squeezing the acne by hand, non-professional treatment, incorrect medical knowledge regarding acne, and lack of an appropriate medical diagnosis and prescription may worsen it.
Conclusion: The study provided satisfactory and effective acne management scheme applicable to current daily living in addition to appropriate acne management and maintenance methods that will be useful for the skin-care industry.
