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.
Acne appears in various forms along
the face, back, neck & chest
• whitehead
- small, white lump in the skin.

- small, black lump in the skin.
