A Better Understanding Of Acne
It is a fact that close to 90 percent of all adolescents and
almost 25 percent of all adults are acne sufferers. And although
acne affects about 50 percent of all adult women, acne can and
does affect males and females worldwide, regardless of nationality.
Why does acne occur?
There are a few simple steps occur that cause skin blemishes
and acne
First, acne occurs when for some unknown reason or combination
of reasons, hair follicles, also known as pores, become blocked.
Some contributing elements for teenagers and adults alike:
*genetics (whether or not there is a history of acne problems
and if so, to what extent)
*hormones
*dietary and vitamin deficiency
*stress related factors.
One contributing factors to acne can be how your body normally
rids itself of its dead skin cells and any thing that may be
working against this regularity.
So such things such as climate, your environment or your overall
body health at the time can contribute to acne. As well, your
hormones and their effect on your own body's sebum production
can contribute to acne, especially for females.
Second reason: the normal dead skin cells that combine with your
body's natural sebum oil as it drains through the skin's surface
become clogged in these blocked pores. This substance becomes
somewhat sticky, further clogging the passageway.
Third reason for acne: bacteria begins to grow around
these clogged areas. As a normal reaction your, your body's white
blood cells attack the bacteria, fighting it and pushing it out
of the body.
And forth reason for acne: the resulting growths during this
14-day to 21-day battle are called microcomedones. Microcomedones
turn into comedones, commonly referred to as blemishes, pimples
or acne.
It can be painful and it is annoying. There are many things to
do to stop acne from reoccurring. Get
