What are the common causes of acne?

At Britebox International, we’ve been helping people to treat their acne effectively and safely for six years. While the reasons for acne vary from person to person, there are some common causes for outbreaks of acne or persistent acne.  These are:

Puberty: Puberty can often be the start of issues with acne. This is due to hormonal changes which can lead to infrequent or constant bouts of acne.

Stress: In some people, stress can be closely related to the onset of acne or acne flare ups. A problem in your personal or professional life can potentially lead to more troubled skin. Naturally, it’s best to undertake regular stress reducing activities and exercise to help keep you more relaxed during ups and downs.

Skincare products: As strange as it sounds, some skincare products (and the way you use them) could actually end up inflaming your skin or making spots or acne worse. This is because overly harsh skincare products can irritate and dry out your skin and cause more problems. This is also made worse if you over-use a product because you want to see results quickly.

Diet: Diet can be another factor in acne so it’s important to be aware of what you’re eating and drinking. There are the obvious pointers like drinking plenty of water and eating plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. But you should also be aware that certain food is known to encourage skin problems and acne, such as processed foods, spicy food, sugary food or chocolate and dairy products. If you have a tendency to acne, your diet can actually exaggerate it.

A brighter answer for acne sufferers

There’s no denying that changing your diet, selecting the right skincare products or reducing your stress levels are beneficial to your general well being. But they may only make a minimal change to your acne – or take time to have an effect.
