Causes of acne and how to treat them

Reasons why you break out!

  1. SLEEPING WITH MAKEUP ON: During the day, your makeup acts like a magnet holding onto pollution, oils, dirt, and dead skin. Leaving all that on your face overnight is like an open invitation for bacteria, clogged pores, breakouts, and blackheads. At night, your skin undergoes a natural repair and regenerative processes. Leaving makeup on can hinder this crucial recovery process, preventing the skin from breathing and renewing itself effectively.
  2. HAIR PRODUCTS: Certain hair products can drip onto the face and clog pores.
  3. NOT CLEANING PHONE REGULARLY: According to studies, cell phones can carry a significantly higher number of bacteria and germs compared to a typical toilet seat. This is because cell phones come into contact with numerous surfaces including restrooms and public places, often without being cleaned regularly. This can lead to breaking out.
  4. DIRTY PILLOWCASE: Throughout use, pillowcases accumulate oils, sweat, saliva, and dead skin cells from our body. This buildup can become a breeding ground for bacteria, which can lead to acne and other skin irritations.
  5. NOT WASHING FACE AFTER SWEATING: If you workout, you most likely sweat. Sweat can mix with the natural bacteria on your skin and any residual makeup, leading to clogged pores and breakouts. Allowing sweat and oil to sit on your skin can also enlarge pores overtime. So Washing your face post-workout helps remove these impurities and keep the skin clear.
  6. TOUCHING YOUR FACE: Frequently touching your face can transfer bacteria and oils that trigger acne.
  7. STRESS: Elevated stress levels can increase cortisol, worsening acne.
  8. LACK OF SLEEP: When we’re stressed out, our bodies produce more cortisol, a stress hormone that may lead to excessive sebum (or oil) production. This excess oil may clog pores and lead to breakouts
  9. POOR DIET: Refined carbohydrates such as bread, pasta made with white flour, white rice, soda and sweeteners along with food or drinks with added sugars can trigger your skin to breakout.
  10. HORMONAL CHANGE: Hormonal fluctuations related to puberty, menstrual cycles, or menopause can trigger acne.
  11. ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS: Pollution and humidity can exacerbate acne
  12. DEHYDRATION: When you don’t drink enough water, your skin may feel tight and dry, leading you to believe it’s dry and not dehydrated. Your skin is likely to compensate for this by producing more oil and thus making it more prone to breaking out.
