What Causes Acne
Do You Know What Causes Acne Breakout…?
Just like any other skin diseases and disorders, acne could
be caused by several reasons. There are just too many contributing
factors, and, till today, there is no complete cure for this
skin disease yet. It could be your diet, how your body react
to the food, and how to use preserve your body and skin healthy.
There are three main causes of acne in medicals point of
view:
1. Hormonal imbalance
2. Bacteria P. acnes
3. Hyper active production of the oily substance sebum by
the sebaceous glands
Diet has some role in acne development, mainly due to the
lack of certain nutrients from the food that we consume. Under
certain circumstances, the body may act in response to the
food item through the secretion of some hormones that trigger
the acne breakout. According to studies, the chemical balance
or imbalance of the body may be due to the bod’s reaction
to certain chemicals, and in some cases hormones, found in
foods.
Research studies strongly prove that the good bacteria or
the probiotics help a lot in the skin maintenance and elimination
of the causes of the skin disorders. These bacteria are known
to have the agents and properties to eliminate toxins from
foods that were not properly digested in the digestive tract
due to the absence of some essential nutrients. And sometimes,
these toxins are expelled through the skin in the form of
acne or eczema.
Together with this, the friendly flora found in the intestines
may decrease through an unhealthy diet or erratic lifestyle.
When a person lives under such conditions, the toxins will
then be produced through unprocessed food may manifest as
digestive or skin disorders. One of which is acne.
To be exact, it is not food that causes the acne outbreak,
instead, it is the process of decomposition of certain food
items in the digestive system which adds to the aggravation
of the acne breakout.
Besides diet, improper digestions might also cause acne. Often,
this is caused by lack of hydrochloric acid in the stomach.
And due to this fact, our body cannot absorb the essential
nutrients of the food items hence weakening the immune system.
And then, the white blood cells present in the skin tissues
are more vulnerable of being eaten or invaded by the bacteria.
For this reason, even if your nutrient intake may be sufficient
and you have a well-balanced diet, the spreading of acne bacteria
may be unconstrained. This may be corrected through taking
food supplements though.
Acne-inflicted person is not suitable for oil-based cosmetics
since it can trigger acne through the chemical found in them.
It is not ideal for an acne-afflicted person to use an oil-free
cosmetic. Synthetic oil contained in the cosmetics is just
as bad as organic ones. And also, oil-based cosmetics will
further increase the oil present in the skin, hence encouraging
more oil as breeding ground for P. acnes bacteria. Water-based
cosmetics may also worsen the acne condition for some people
since they contain certain chemicals in which the skin tissue
may react. To play safe, it is best for ane-inflicted person
to avoid the use of cosmetics.
Recent studies show that stress tends to trigger an acne
breakout. It has been a known fact that the stress is one
factor which may aggravate the condition of acne.
Heat and humidity are also among the factors of worsening
acne breakouts. And, it is not good to wash the skin as often
as you think you should. It is recommended that we should
only wash our face twice a day as scrubbing or rubbing the
face may only proliferate the bacteria thriving in the skin.
And also, scratching pimples might infect your skin as well!
