Face Acne – Why We Get It!

November 3rd, 2009

If you’ve had face acne as long as me, you get to wondering why. “Why me?” mainly, but also how we get it, what causes it and so on.

After much research I can say one thing – there are many contributing factors – which is what makes it so difficult to treat.

One of the main causes of face acne in boys is male hormones. Girls also experience hormonal changes at premenstrual times, too. Add to this other factors such as stress – yes! – over-secretion of the sebaceous glands, clogged pores, bacteria, diet, poor hygiene and genetics, and you have an almighty recipe for a catastrophe that’s not going to go away easily.

Although hormones may be largely responsible, because there are so many factors involved, and because acne takes several forms, you can see how it’s not always easy to determine the exact cause – and in many cases there are several causes – and decide upon a suitable acne treatment.

Stayin’ Cool Really Works!
I was really interested to see that stress can play a part. This is because it stimulates the adrenal glands which leads to the over-production of hormones. So stay cool! Not easy, I know, with the pressures of school, college and work, but it’s worth trying to remain calm and even taking up meditation.

As far as diet is concerned, it seems the jury’s out! It was thought that diet played a major part in acne cures but now they’re not so sure. However, before you tuck into that large pizza and wolf down another bar of chocolate, it is widely thought that greasy, fried and spicy food, as well as dairy products can make existing acne worse.

It’s certainly worth removing various foods from your diet and seeing if there’s an improvement.

Hygiene? Again, it’s not such an important factor as it was once thought to be but, heck, who want to associate with an unhygienic person anyway? However, it is important that you use a good acne face wash if you have an oily skin and you need a regular skin care regime.

Because face acne can be caused by combinations of factors, it can help your treatment if you know which factors apply to you. You may be able to track down possible suspects yourself but in some cases you may need to see a doctor or dermatologist.
