What causes acne?
Acne does not discriminate. It impacts the skin and self-esteem of millions of women and men, at virtually all ages. The skin has numerous pores, acne breakouts occur when these pores become plugged with sebum (oil) and shed skin cells. Bacteria flourish in this pore-clogging cocktail, triggering inflammation and infection. The depth that the plug occurs determines the type of lesion you have from a deep painful one under the skin to the superficial pus bumps to blackheads and whiteheads.
Hormonal fluctuations cause the body to produce excess oil, so these factors influence acne flare-ups:
- Puberty
- Menstruation
- Pregnancy
- Menopause
- Stress
- Anabolic steroids and certain other medications
- Extreme workouts
