Primary Causes of Acne

Causes of acne can be ascribed to many factors like genetics diet hairdo products and stress

Diet

Causes of acne among teens and adults mostly attributed to the male sex hormone production during the age of 11-14. But it may continue till the age of 20. This is the period when the male sex glands become functional. Apart from this reason, it can be attributed on some diet grounds. Diet plays a huge role in the occurrence of acne.

Milk is one of the products of cow which is considered to be the protein rich ingredient consumed by many. But some researchers theorized that milk and acne has some relation, in particular, the cow’s hormones which are present in their milk used by people could be a reason.

Dermatologists’ doing research on that to find out what might be the probable reason associated with it. But it is always advised to the sufferers of acne not to take such dietary products if they find it exacerbates the disease.

It is also known that apart from the milk, other dietary products which are rich in refined sugars and some of the processed foods aggravate acne. The foods which are rich in Carbohydrates which is known to be speedily digested like white bread which increases the sebum, the cause for the oil glands to work on the skin stimulates acne to appear.

Research is under the process of finding out the reason for acne which is most prevailed in western countries than others ascribed to the fact of the diet reasons. There is no proof that reduction in consumption of carbohydrates rich foods like white bread would in any case bring down the danger of acne but it is better to stay ‘way from that for general health reasons.

Genetic reasons

Hereditary acne could not be controlled. A teen having acne could be sometimes ascribed to the fact of his parents did have suffered that. The tendency of developing acne cannot be imputed to genetics always but it is also one of the causes. A dermatologist can help you out in one of the extensive acne problems and sorting out the scar and restore a clear skin.

Hygienic Factors

Hygiene factors may not have a big wallop on acne but one should be aware of it. It is always better to keep you free from bacteria and other germs which forms dust particles that open the way for acne on your face. In a study to know the truth, some acne infected teens were asked to wash their face one or twice in a day for two weeks and noted the impact and the same were asked to do that more than twice a day, after two weeks of time period there was no considerable impact on the reduction of acne.

Although dermatologists suggest that to keep up the habit as it would help them get rid off the disease.

Hairdo Products

We see people appending much time for their hair dressing but how many of us know that it does not have an ideal impact on our skin particularly if you’re using a chemical or oil substance like Isopropyl, hair oil and other natural oils. It is advised to wash your hair and then your face so that the shampoo and the ingredients of it would not affect your face. It is always better to wash the face before going to bed. Also after severe exercises wash your face immediately with soap or cream so that the dirt and sweat would not stay in and spoil the skin.

Some Other Causes of Acne

Oil

Oil applied on the hair may get dribble down on your face and gets oxidized in the pores leading to the blockage. To prevent this, clean the face twice daily with cleansing material which is not harmful to fight against the bacteria.

Bacteria

Bacteria are another cause for the inflammation on the skin and it gets multiplied within the pores causing more trouble to the skin. Using products which have astringent properties help here to combat against the bacteria and assist in loosening the oils from the pores.

Cosmetics

Cosmetics, as mentioned earlier, excessive use is vulnerable may contain comedogenic oils worsens acne. Use of Talc sucks the oil on the face and protects it. Also use of cleansers or sunscreens may inversely affect the oil glands. It is wise to remember and maintain adequate balance of oil in the skin.

Medications

Medications can also be a contributor in the occurrence of acne although it is rare. Some of the medications include anabolic steroids, lithium and some of the drugs which contain iodine. Suppose, if anyone not taking any of these drugs and suspects the appearance of acne then it is better to consult a dermatologist.

Stress

Stress could possibly induce the occurrence of acne and may aggravate it but it is viewed as the primary cause. Acne burns up is just the source of the stress and not the effect of it. Management of stress could be helpful in controlling acne but it cannot be effective acne treatment.
