According to the NHS, 95 per cent of people aged 11 to 30 will be affected by acne to some extent, and it doesn\u2019t stop with age. It\u2019s estimated that one in three people with the skin condition are over the age of 35. That\u2019s a lot of people experiencing acne at any given time!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>As well as the visible effects of acne, there are invisible symptoms, too. Research has found that around one in four people who have acne also experience a mental health concern. On top of this, factors like your mood and stress can actually trigger acne, creating an ongoing cycle for your skin.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>At Dermatica, we want you to know that skin concerns are not something that you need to deal with alone. Our goal is to help you manage your skin, while prioritising your health, which is why we\u2019ve created multiple resources for our community to navigate skin-related worries.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Here\u2019s how we can help.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ol>\r\n<li>Join our community<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/dermaticacommunity\/posts\/\">Facebook group<\/a> is full of people on the same skin journey as you.

Knowing this may not make your personal relationship with acne any easier, but hearing other people\u2019s stories might.
