10 Things Skin Care Pros Share About Teenage Acne

Hidden Causes Behind Acne Formation

A lot of research has been conducted regarding the causes of acne from which the following key findings are determined: hormonal fluctuations usually occur during puberty in teenagers, and all the hyperactivity among these hormones results in acne breakouts. As a teenage body grows, the skin matures gradually with it but, due to the excess production of sebum (oily matter that lubricates the skin), teenage skin can not keep up with the process as it is maturing and causes acne. Consumption of processed food such as donuts, ice-creams, cakes can lead to acne breakouts as it contains tons of sugar and trans-fat that causes inflammation if excessively consumed. Ineffective cleansing methods used on teenage skins will only make the matter worse.
