CAUSES OF ACNE
An acne blemish begins approximately 2-3 weeks before it appears on your skin’s surface. So while it may seem like you get a pimple overnight, what you’re actually seeing is the final stage of a much longer process. It starts in your sebaceous hair follicles – . Deep within each follicle, your sebaceous glands are working to produce sebum, the oil that keeps your skin moist and pliable. But this sloughing process is different for everyone. You might shed cells evenly – or not. Uneven shedding causes dead cells to become sticky, clumping together to form a plug – much like a cork in a bottle. This plug, or comedo, traps oil and bacteria inside the follicle.HERE ARE SOME OF THE MAIN CULPRITS KNOWN TO CAUSE ACNE:Hormonal Imbalance / Menstrual AbnormalitiesExtra sebum (Oil Production by sebaceous glands present on face) Follicle falloutBacteria (bacterium Propionibacterium acnes) see videoInflammation |
