What causes acne?
Acne is a skin condition that is characterized by inflammation processes, which are caused by pores being clogged with oil produced by the skin. The oil is produced by sebaceous (oil) glands for moisturizing the skin. However, when there's too much oil produced, it becomes blocked within pores, mixing with dead skin cells and causing inflammation that is visually observed as acne.
There's no secret about the fact that the top skin layer – epidermis – is constantly renewed with new cells while the old ones simply die and peel off. This process is natural and usually doesn't lead to the formation of acne. Still, when the shedding process doesn't go as supposed, some of the dead cells remain in the epidermis, mix up with the oil and lead to pore clogging.
The worst part is that even when the pores are blocked, the oil is still produced at normal rates. But because the way out is blocked, it starts to accumulate within the pores, which eventually causes the formation of pimples. Moreover, accumulated oil is very beneficial for the activity and development of bacteria. Thus, the inflammation process becomes more serious and it takes a shorter period of time for the pimple to break out.
Unfortunately even today there's no clear definition of the exact cause that leads to the formation of acne. However, scientists indicate a set of factors that certainly contribute to this process. And by controlling any of these factors you'll be able to control the development of acne:
- Hormonal levels. Androgens (male hormones) are known to regulate the activity of oil glands within the skin. In case the level of androgens gets higher, the oil glands produce increased amounts of sebum, which eventually leads to the formation of acne. That is why acne breakouts are closely related to the puberty period, in which the hormonal levels often tend to be quite imbalanced, with excessive amounts of androgens both in men and women.
- Skin cells shedding. Numerous factors affect the ability and the rates at which dead skin cells shed from the epidermis. Any abnormalities in this process are known to be one of the factors contributing to the development of acne.
- Genetics. A number of recent researches have indicated that there's a genetic link between family members that may be responsible for the development of acne. Thus, if you have parents who have suffered from acne you have a higher risk of experiencing acne breakouts too.
