Have you got acne?

Have you got acne? Not sure what the causes are behind it? Here’s some possible causes:

Stress

This causes a rise in hormones which stimulates the glands in your skin that secrete oily matter (also known as sebum).

All dried up

Although oily skin is a trigger for acne, you have to be careful that you do not remove too much oil and make your skin too dry. It’s a vicious circle, but stripping your skin of essential oils could equate to your gland’s going into overdrive to bring your skin’s oil level back into balance. This overdrive causes your skin to create too much oil.

Chemicals and toxins

Chemical-based ingredients found in some skin care products can irritate the skin, and this will cause inflammation leading to acne.

Lifestyle

Yep, we all knew this was coming. Late nights full of alcohol and those cheat meals consisting of every takeaway you can imagine are going to have an effect on the state of your skin.
