What causes Acne?

There are many reasons to the causes of acne. Once you know why you are getting it then you can stop it! I should say sometimes you can stop it. Ok here we go:

• Hormonal changes.
• Some medications can cause acne.
• Stress.
• Cosmetics.
• Diet.

Hormonal Changes

Why do most people associate acne with teenagers? It’s because their body is going through a lot of hormonal changes! Now does that mean that adults cannot get acne? Of course they can. Anyone that is going through some hormonal changes which causes acne will definitely get acne. Hormonal changes can occur in any stage of your life!

Medications

I first must say that even though some medications like steroids, anti-seizure and barbiturates are “thought” to give you skin problems, please don’t stop taking them! First tell your doctor some of the side effects you are getting like acne and then see what your doctor says. Your doctor might be able to change it to a different one with less side effects.

Stress

Your body doesn’t like to be put under stress. It will tell you that it doesn’t like stress by giving you pimples! Whenever I disturb my sleeping pattern I get pimples. Reduce your stress and exercise. Exercise will definitely help reduce stress thus reducing your acne!

Cosmetics

Anything that’s going to clog or block your pores will definitely cause acne. Does that mean you should stop wearing cosmetics? No. Just find one that’s right for you! Some cosmetics contain oil in it and if you already have oily skin, well you are begging for a breakout! Now I’ve tried some cosmetics that say they are “oil free” and still broke out in pimples. I guess it’s a series of trial and error. All in the name of beauty!

Diet

Do you love those burgers and greasy fries? How about ice cream? Yes, fatty foods and even diary can cause acne. Try and take a mental note of what you are eating and see if you start to breakout in zits! Then if you can, avoid eating those foods if you want to reduce the amount of pimples that you are getting.

If you really want to find out what’s causing your acne, see what you either put in your mouth or on your face. That might sound blunt but it’s not meant to be. If you really think about it you’ll see that it makes sense. The most important thing is just doing something about it!
