Acne is a skin condition caused by the accumulation of oil and dead skin cells in hair follicles. It is a hormonal condition that can take several forms such as blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules, and cysts. Appearing on the face, chest, shoulders, and upper back, acne often takes a toll on our mental health and confidence.
The most common causes of acne are genetics, fluctuating hormone levels, stress, high humidity, and usage of oily or greasy personal care products. Though commonly seen in teenagers, acne is a condition that can affect anyone.
Imbalanced diets are an important factor in aggravating acne. There are no specific foods that cause acne, but certain foods can aggravate an already problematic condition. Milk is one of the common products that may worsen the severity of acne.
Stress doesn’t directly cause acne. However, studies have shown that if you already have acne, stress will definitely make it worse. Research has found that the healing process is slower in individuals under stress.
Conditions such as PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), among few others, can cause acne in addition to irregular cycles, weight gain, hair loss on the scalp, and excessive hair on the face. We recommend seeking the help of a medical professional to deal with acne under such circumstances.
Alcohol, a diuretic, can dehydrate your skin, disturbing its ph level. This leads to the overproduction of sebum, clogging the pores, which results in acne.
