Before we move further to know the major causes of acne, it is very important to know what acne is all about. What is Acne? Acne is a skin disease in which oil glands are found at the base of the hair follicles. It is very common at the puberty stage when the oil glands begin to come alive. At that period, the oil glands are stimulated by the male hormones which are produced by the adrenal glands of males and females. Acne is medically called Acne Vulgaris. It is contagious among the people of the same age bracket and all races. Also, acne could be genetic and the treatment is based on its severity and persistency. Acne could trigger pimples according to research made by Washington University School of Medicine scientists, it has been discovered that there are good and bad bacteria strains that influence how severe and frequency of acne. It was published in Journal of Investigative Dermatology in March 2013 that it is not all acne bacteria that trigger pimples. There was a particular strain of bacteria that help to maintain your skin and make it free from pimples. Young men suffer from acne for longer period due to the testosterone that is present in high quantities which could worse acne on the skin. Here is a helpful tip on the six main causes of acne: . 1)Touching Your Face When you touch your face quickly on daily bases, your face becomes the dirtiest part of your body. Majority of us do this without knowing. This is the common cause of chin and jaw line breakout. Also, ensure that you clean your cell phone at all times or make use of ear piece because by holding the cell phone to your face could spread bacteria and give you breakouts on the cheeks. . If you found out that you have breakouts at your neck area, jaw line and chin, it could be as a result of more dairy or sugar intake which your body cannot tolerate. Your skin is an excretory system that helps to eliminate things that does not agree with your body. . 2)Too much of sugar or dairy is very difficult to digest and could come out in form of cystic blemishes at the lower area of your face. . 3)Stress Clinical studies have proved that stress worsen the entire skin condition because it induces the adrenal glands into overproduction of cortisol. This in turn makes sebaceous glands to produce more oil and skin become oily. This is the reason why many people experience increase in acne which get more inflamed and puss- filled papules during the stress period. . 4)Not Washing Your Face Oily skin creates a breeding ground for bacteria thereby cause blemishes. When you sleep with your make up on, oil, dirt and debris built upon the skin during the day could trigger new blemishes. . 5)Use of New Skin Care Products When you introduced a new skin product to your skin, it is possible to get some blemish purging most especially if your skin is giving more exfoliation than normal. . 6)Menopause Hormones are known to be chemical messengers produced in our bodies to correct everything that ranges from metabolism, cell growth and reproductive cycles and mood. As soon as they fluctuate, they trigger depression, weight gain, fatigue, sleeplessness, adult acne and breakout in adults. |
