COMMON CAUSES OF ACNE

WHAT CAUSES ACNE?

- Hormones are the number one cause of acne.
During puberty, skin produces extra sebum and when this sebum mixes with common skin bacteria and dead skin cells that have been shed from the lining of he follicle, clogging of the pores begin - which eventually leads to acne.

- Stress can aggravate acne by bringing on fluctuating hormone levels in the body. With hormonal changes, the body prompts the skin's oil glands to enlarge, secreting more oil, which causes whiteheads, blackheads and pimples.

- Heavy makeup clogs the pores and worsens the condition if you already have oilskin. So try to minimize wearing makeup for long periods of time and be sure to cleanse thoroughly afterwards.
