The Most Common Causes of Acne

By

HealthPrep Staff

Just about everyone has experiences with embarrassing pimples and other presentations of acne at least once in their lifetime. The hardest part, many individuals find, is facing the world when acne breaks out. Typically, breakouts are the main contributor to self-esteem issues and insecurities in those who suffer from chronic acne. Notably during adolescent years when acne disrupts skin the most, and many cannot stop touching their blemishes. Fortunately, acne can be minimized and avoided once the culprit is identified.

Acne occurs when oil is excreted from the skin and becomes trapped within the pores. Specifically, unnatural oils are the miscreants when acne appears. Individuals who have oily hair, use oil-based makeup or a hefty amount of oil-based hair products, as well as oily skin, are more susceptible to experiencing acne. Some individuals believe stripping their hair and skin of all the oils they can to take this cause out of the equation, but it is important to remember over-stripping can actually cause hair and skin to overproduce oil, which can make acne worse.
