Let me ask you this...
Are you suffering
from acne?
Do you know what
is causing it and is there
any effective acne treatment?
Studies show that an estimated
80 % percent of people experience
acne at some point. No one
knows exactly what the cause
of acne is, but there are
a few theories.
Let's take a look at 7
of them:
1. Acne normally
begins between the ages
of eleven and thirteen.
This is true in both males
and females due to changes
in hormone levels. These
hormones, called androgens,
will enlarge the
facial glands.
The oil produced by the
glands is known as sebum.
The hair follicles shed
dead cells too quickly and
the cells and sebum form
a blockage in the gland.
2. Pressure and
rubbing from tight garments.
Adult with acne should
avoid tight-collared shirts
that might irritate the
acne further. Adult athletes
may notice an outbreak of
acne from equipment such
as backpacks or athletic
helmets.
3. Acne can also
be caused by genetics.
Studies have shown that
a family history of acne
can affect whether you have
acne and the severity of
it. So if your mother or
father had acne as a teen,
chances are that it will
be a contributory factor
to the cause of your acne.
4. Factors linked
to women
Women have several factors
that men don't that can
be linked to the cause of
acne. Women go through several
phases of life that cause
their hormone levels to
change. These changes can
cause acne in adult women
between two and seven days
before their
menstrual cycle.
5. Pregnancy and
hormones
Pregnant women also experience
a fluctuation in hormones.
Those who may have previously
had little or no acne may
see pimples during their
pregnancy and for a time
after the birth of the baby
until the hormone levels
return to normal.
6. Menopause and
hormones
Menopause will cause changes
in hormone levels for woman
and can be a cause of acne.
Women also tend to wear
heavy makeup when experience
an acne outbreak, which
only worsens the problem
by further clogging pores.
7.Stress.
Especially in adults, stress
can be another cause of
acne. When you are stressed,
the hormone cortisol is
produced.
Cortisol will worsen any
acne you already have. To
prevent stress-related acne,
try relaxation and meditation.
Some adults experience
acne from picking at blemishes
on their skin. You should
never pick at or squeeze
a pimple, blackhead or any
other blemish on your face.
This can only cause more
acne and possibly an infection.
When cleaning your face,
avoid harsh facial cleansers
(they cause the creation
of more sebum) and scrubbing
your
face too vigorously.
Acne treatments
The sad part is that most
of the acne products are
sold over the counter for
treatment.
Most over-the-counter acne
treatments are topical and
come in the form of a cream,
soap, lotion or gel.
Acne products normally
contain benzoyl peroxide
(good for killing the bacteria
and possibly reducing oil
production), sulfur (helps
eliminate blackheads and
whiteheads) and/or salicylic
acid (cuts down the speed
of cell lose).
More severe cases may require
prescription acne medicine
that is topical or oral.
Oral acne medication can
help reduce both the growth
of the bacteria and inflammation
of glands.
