Causes Of Acne

The exact causes of acne are unknown. Acne is a rash that appears on oily areas of the body. It most often occurs the back, chest, and face. It is unknown why one pore may clog and another remains open. The embarrassing skin condition starts in puberty due to a mixture of hormones and oil on the face Certain foods such as chocolate may aggravate the condition, but they are not themselves the cause.

Acne can flare up as an adult. The causes for these flare ups may be stress, diet, hormones, or any combination of the three. Keeping the face clean and the pores open will prevent further breakouts, but if the breakouts are chronic and out of control, it is best to see a dermatologist to see what you can do to help control or eliminate this condition. Products such as Oxy 10 and Sea Breeze astringent can help unclog the blocked pores.

Acne is not a result of infrequent scrubbing or poor hygiene. In fact, too much scrubbing can aggravate this embarrassing skin condition.
