If you're one of the millions who suffer from acne breakouts, you are not alone. You know that awful feeling when you have some important event to attend and you wake up to find one or more of those ugly red blemishes on your face!
You've tried various treatments to prevent or cure those acne breakouts, but you still haven't found one that really works for you?
The reason these treatments haven't worked is because there are different types of acne and therefore needed to be treated differently!
Did you know there are also a lot of Myths floating around about acne? You've probably heard many of them such as eating chocolate or other foods will cause acne, yet there is no scientific evidence to proof this!
You also may think that acne only occurs in teenagers, but this isn't true it can affect people of all ages, even babies!
There are lots of speculation as to what causes acne, but the truth is they still don't really know exactly what causes it. Many medical professionals believe that acne may be caused by...
- Hormonal changes
- Heredity
- Some types of medicine
- Cosmetics
During the teenage years there is also an increase in a type of bacteria called the Proprionibacterium acnes, which is believed to be a contributing factor in teen acne. So these 2 factors may be why we tend to see moreacne cases in teenagers yet they are not the only age group to develop acne.
If you have family members that had bothersome acne in their teenage years, there is a possibility that you will also develop acne.
Certain medications can also make one more prone to acne. Drugs that contain bromides, iodides and barbiturates, including or oral or injected steroids, have side effects and may produce acne as a potential consequence. However, the vast majority of acne cases are not drug-related.
For many people even certain makeup may cause them to breakout. This is because many cosmetic products contain oil. Oily buildup in your pores affects the skin’s follicles which can result in acne.
