What Causes Acne
Acne develops because sebaceous glands produce excessive sebum that blocks hair follicles when combined with dead skin cells. The trapped oil creates an environment where Cutibacterium acnes bacteria thrive, which results in inflammation together with redness and pus formation. Acne persists based on three main factors, which include lifestyle elements as well as genetics and hormonal patterns.
Acne becomes worse due to various factors, which need proper management for effective control:
The natural increase of androgens during puberty and pregnancy and menstruation and PCOS leads to excessive oil production in the body. When hormone levels fluctuate, sebaceous glands increase their sebum production, which causes pore blockages and leads to acne breakouts. Patients need to consult medical professionals to identify and treat their hormonal imbalances when acne becomes problematic.
Excessive sugar consumption together with dairy products and high-glycaemic foods raises insulin levels, which promotes inflammation, thus worsening acne. Scientific studies demonstrate that consuming dairy and processed carbohydrates increases oil production. Eating a balanced diet of whole foods with healthy fats and antioxidant-rich vegetables supports better skin clarity.
Acne tends to worsen when people experience higher stress levels because their bodies produce more cortisol, which stimulates oil gland activity. The skin’s protective barrier becomes weakened by extended stress periods, which leads to increased inflammation and breakouts. Prioritizing stress management and relaxation techniques alongside sufficient sleep will help minimize acne triggers.
The improper removal of makeup and application of comedogenic products leads to breakouts. Acne becomes more severe when people use abrasive cleansers together with silicone-based primers and heavy foundations. Non-comedogenic, dermatologist-approved skincare products combined with proper skin cleansing techniques help preserve skin health while reducing breakouts.
Pollution, high humidity, exposure to intense heat, and perspiration can all lead to acne aAcne, together with clogged pores, emerges when individuals expose themselves to pollution and high humidity and hot temperatures and sweating. The skin becomes inflamed after pollutants and sweat merge with bacteria and oil on its surface. Protect your skin through regular washing while using antioxidant-rich skincare products and staying away from heat exposure for extended periods.nd clogged pores. Inflammation can result from pollutants and perspiration combining with germs and oil on the skin. The skin can be protected by routine washing, the use of skincare products high in antioxidants, and avoiding prolonged exposure to heat.
Acne appears or worsens in people who take corticosteroids, anticonvulsants, and birth control pills. The skin produces persistent breakouts because some medications either affect hormone production or disrupt oil manufacturing. Consult with a dermatologist regarding acne-related side effects prior to starting or ending any prescribed medication.
When you touch acne spots or burst them, you allow bacteria to enter the area, which results in worse inflammation and scarring. Acne-prone areas that are touched or adjusted repeatedly tend to spread bacteria, which worsens hyperpigmentation. Proper acne care, including spot treatments along with professional extractions, helps minimize further irritation.
