Acne is a common skin condition that affects people of all ages, though it is most prevalent during adolescence. It occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples. Factors such as hormonal changes, genetics, diet, lifestyle, stress, gut health, and improper skincare routines can contribute to the development of acne. Understanding the causes of acne is essential for effective treatment and maintaining clear, healthy skin.
Symptoms and Types of Acne
Acne can appear in various ways, including:
- Whiteheads: Closed clogged pores.
- Blackheads: Open clogged pores that turn black due to oxidation.
- Papules: Small red, tender bumps.
- Pustules: Pimples with pus at their tips.
- Nodules: Large, painful lumps beneath the skin (blind pimple).
- Cystic Acne: Deep, painful, pus-filled bumps.
Why Do We Get Acne?
Acne develops due to several factors, including:
- Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations in hormones, especially during puberty, pregnancy, menstruation or perimenopause, can lead to increased oil production and clogged pores.
- Genetics: A family history of acne can increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
- Diet: Consuming high-glycemic foods and dairy products may cause acne. Skin loving foods should include nutrients like probiotics, prebiotics, polyphenols, antioxidants, healthy fats, minerals and vitamins such as A, C & E that will all assist in healing your skin from the inside out.
- Lifestyle: Poor sleep, stress & lack of movement/exercise can trigger hormonal changes that may worsen inflammation of acne & delay healing.
- Gut Health: If toxins aren’t well processed in your gut, you may start to see them exiting your skin (via acne). It’s important to look inward to connect digestive issues and acne.
- Improper Skincare: Using products that are not suitable for your skin type. This can be using a product that is too rich and clogging the pores or it may have harsh ingredients that can impair the skin’s barrier and aggravate acne.
