What Causes Acne

We often refer to acne as pimples, acne, and acne breakouts. There are many reasons for the appearance of acne, and the following is a summary of several factors that trigger acne.

Physiological factors

One of the most important factors for acne in adolescents is their specific physiological age. This is mainly for female adolescents, especially during the physiological period, when the secretion of growth hormones and sex hormones in the body increases, which in turn stimulates the hair follicles and causes inflammation, the most obvious symptom of which is the appearance of acne on the face.

Environmental factors

Environmental pollution is particularly serious, leading to endocrine disorders in the human body, such as chemical substances in the air and cosmetics that people use, which can cause an increase in the incidence of acne.

Psychological factors

Stressful life is also a common cause of acne in adults, as boredom, stress, and bad mood are hormones that are secreted in the body, and the skin's circulation mechanism is disrupted. This leads to a decrease in immunity, and thus the skin's resistance to bacteria becomes lower. So, when appropriate, you can do some physical exercise and outdoor activities, etc., can reduce some degree of life stress.

Dry stool

Patients often dry stool affects the gastrointestinal function and the normal performance of cardiovascular function. The rise of toxins can lead to dizziness, fatigue, sores in the mouth and tongue, swollen gums, and dilated capillaries, all of which can seriously affect the skin's metabolism and lead to acne. In addition, the preference for spicy food, tobacco and alcohol can cause dry stools, unbalanced nutritional structure and damage to gastrointestinal function, which can also lead to acne.

Oily skin

Oily skin is characterized by overly developed sebaceous glands and excessive sebum production. If the pores are blocked or if oil drainage is poor for other reasons, then the sebaceous glands continue to secrete and sebum accumulates in the pores, protruding and becoming the cause of acne.

Long-term use of hormone products

Long-term use of hormonal drugs leads to a decline in your immune system, which makes it impossible to resist external aggression and makes you prone to acne. Therefore, we suggest that it is best not to take antibiotics to treat a small cold. If it is more serious, you can also choose to use Chinese medicine or proprietary Chinese medicine to treat it, so that it will not lead to a decline in our immune system, which is also a good for our own body functions, and it will be less likely to grow acne.

Endocrine disorders

Endocrine is one of the main causes of acne on the face. For example, during menstruation, women have a much higher chance of getting acne than usual because of changes in their body's androgens. This is especially true for women who often have early or late menstruation, disrupted MC cycles, and dysmenorrhea.

Irregular cosmetics

The topical use of over-the-top cosmetics also tends to lead to acne on the face. If you use these excessive cosmetics, it is very likely to cause acne, so we need to pay attention to the specific instructions when using cosmetics, and also pay attention to whether they are counterfeit products, and finally, we need to choose according to our skin type. Clogging will also cause acne on the face.
