How to Get Rid of Spots: A Comprehensive Guide to Clearer Skin
Acne is a common skin concern affecting people of all ages, from teenage breakouts to adult acne. Whether you’re dealing with spots on your face, back (bacne), or elsewhere, achieving clear skin requires a multifaceted approach. This blog explores effective solutions, from topical treatments and oral supplements to lifestyle adjustments and professional care.
The Gut-Skin Connection
Research shows a strong link between gut health and skin clarity. Imbalances in gut bacteria can lead to inflammation, triggering breakouts. Addressing gut health can often yield quick improvements in acne-prone skin. Supplements like Skin Clear Biome—rich in probiotics—help balance gut microbiota, while Skin Accumax provides essential nutrients to support skin healing and reduce breakouts. Pair these with Skin Omegas, which contain omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids to calm skin inflammation.

Topical Treatments for Acne
Effective skincare starts with a good routine:
- Cleanse: Use a gentle but effective cleanser like Environ Focus Care Clarity Sebuwash, which contains salicylic acid to unclog pores.
- Exfoliate: Incorporate Sebulac Lotion for chemical exfoliation that reduces congestion and smooths skin.
- Treat: Apply products with Vitamin A or retinol, such as Environ’s Focus Care Clarity Range, to regulate sebum production, reduce inflammation, and improve scar tissue.
- Moisturise: Choose a non-comedogenic option such as Vitamin A Moisturisers, which provide hydration without clogging pores.
- Boost: For deeper hydration and scar repair, AC & E Oil from the Environ Focus Care Clarity Range works wonders.
Professional Skincare Treatments
Speed up your skin improvement with regular facials and peels:
- Environ Cool Peels: These gentle peels improve texture and minimise acne scars without irritation.
- Mesoestetic Peels: Ideal for targeting stubborn breakouts and pigmentation left by acne.
Lifestyle Factors
Your habits play a significant role in skin health. Here are some key factors to consider:
- Sleep Hygiene: Poor sleep increases cortisol levels, which can trigger breakouts. Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep.
- Diet: Avoid processed foods and focus on a diet rich in whole foods, including leafy greens, fatty fish, and foods high in zinc.
- Stress Management: Practice mindfulness or yoga to reduce stress, another common acne trigger.
- Hands Off: Avoid picking at your skin to prevent further irritation and scarring.
Recognising Triggers
Acne triggers vary by individual. Common culprits include hormonal changes, dairy, high-glycemic foods, and stress. Identifying your personal triggers can make a world of difference.
A Holistic Approach to Clear Skin
Combining lifestyle adjustments with targeted skincare and supplements creates a powerful foundation for clearer skin. While results may take time, improvements in texture, inflammation, and overall clarity can often be seen within weeks.
Whether you’re battling face spots, bacne, or both, embracing a holistic skincare routine with proven products like the Environ Focus Care Clarity Range and supportive supplements like Skin Accumax can set you on the path to a healthier complexion.
