Common Causes of Acne
One of the best ways to cure a condition is to be aware of the causes of the condition and ensure that you are minimizing the potential causes to reduce the chances of it occurring. In the case of acne, in some cases, by avoiding the causes, you can avoid an acne outbreak. Here are some of the most common causes of acne:
Oil Glands
Deep below your skin there are oil glands (otherwise known as sebaceous glands) that produce oil to lubricate the hair follicle that they are connected to as well as the surrounding tissue. Providing there is no problem with the skin pore that the hair is connected to, there is no problems, but that can change if the pore becomes clogged.
If the pore is clogged and your body starts to produce more oil than normal (which can happen during puberty and menstrual cycles) then the clogged pore can result in an acne outbreak.
Blocked Pores
There are many ways that skin pores can get blocked such as by dirt, oil and makeup. These blocked pores combined with dead skin cells can turn into acne fairly easily. Though in this case the result is whiteheads and blackheads, if bacteria gets into these blocked pores, you can certainly end up with a bigger problem.
Bacteria Infections
A clogged pore can become a larger problem when bacteria comes into play. When the bacteria that lives on your skin gets trapped in a blocked pore, it can result in a more serious outbreak of acne including swelling and irritation.
Though acne can be caused by various means, it can also be reduced provided good skin care hygiene practices are in place. By taking care of your skin properly, keeping it clean, and watching out for some of the common causes, you can reduce your chance of having an acne outbreak.
