What Causes
Acne
There are many myths about what causes Acne flare
ups, but no one single cause is to blame. Acne is influenced
by several factors, many of which are out of your control. Stress,
bad cosmetics, hormones and birth control pills are common contributors
to acne breakouts. Many individuals are under the misconception
that eating certain foods can cause or worsen their acne condition.
Rather, general diets high in fat oils, and sugars often lead
to skin conditions like acne.
Adult Acne
Acne affects a number of people including teenagers
and adults up to 40 years of age. The American Academy of Dermatology
reports 80 percent of adults between the ages of 20 and 30 suffer
from mild to moderate acne. Over half of all women, regardless
of age, suffer from some form of acne.
Adult onset acne most commonly affects women as hormonal changes
often occur during ovulation and menstruation, pregnancy, perimenopause,
and menopause. 60-70% of women who battle with acne experience
premenstrual flare-ups.

in various forms along the face, back, neck & chest
