5 Main Causes of Acne!!

5 Main Causes of Acne!

1.Excess Oil Production The sebaceous glands produce too much oil.
   - Clogs pores
   - Causes comedonal acne
   - Makes the skin oily during the day
   - Commonly occurs in the T-Zone such as the forehead, nose, and chin
If excess oil builds up together with sweat and dirt, it can promote bacterial growth and lead to inflammation more easily.

2. Dead Skin Cell Build-Up When the face is not cleansed properly or exfoliation is insufficient.
   - Causes clogged pores
   - Makes the skin look dull and uneven
   - Leads to blackheads and clogged acne more easily
Over-exfoliating or scrubbing the skin too harshly can also irritate the skin and trigger more acne.

3. Using Products Unsuitable for Your Skin Heavy creams, makeup, or sunscreens that can easily clog pores.
   - Acne flare-ups
   - Skin irritation
   - Facial inflammation
It is recommended to choose products labeled:
   - Non-Comedogenic (won’t clog pores)
   - Oil-Free
   - Suitable for sensitive skin

4. P. acnes Bacteria Naturally found on the skin, but excessive buildup can cause problems.
   - Causes inflammatory acne
   - Red and swollen pimples
   - Pus-filled and painful acne
This bacteria grows well in oily skin conditions with clogged pores.

5. Hormonal Changes Especially during puberty, menstruation, or periods of stress.
   - Increases oil production
   - Acne commonly appears around the jawline, chin, and cheeks
   - May lead to chronic hormonal acne
Lack of sleep, stress, and insufficient rest can affect hormones and trigger acne breakouts as well.

If you frequently experience acne, it is recommended to use products containing anti-inflammatory ingredients such as:
   - Salicylic Acid
   - Niacinamide
   - Tea Tree Oil
   - Centella Asiatica
And choose products that are Non-Comedogenic (won’t clog pores).

Additional Tips to Reduce Acne Breakouts

   - Avoid touching or squeezing pimples
   - Change pillowcases and towels regularly
   - Drink enough water
   - Reduce sugary, oily, and fried foods
   - Apply sunscreen daily
   - Get enough sleep and manage stress
