Research has yet to determine the precise cause of acne, but the medical profession does assume there are a number of factors involved that cause the skin disorder. One important factor is an increase in hormones called androgens (a male sex hormone). These androgen hormones increase during puberty drastically which results in the sebaceous glands to produce more sebum that can lead to acne.

One possible cause is heredity or genetics. Many medical researchers assume acne is inherited. For instance, studies have shown that many school-age teens with acne have a family history of this skin disorder. Another is the use of oil based cosmetics which alter follicles making them stick together plugging the skin pore.

Understand what could cause acne:

- Hormonal level changes in women days before the menstrual cycle.

- Greasy make-up and other oil based skin products.

- Additional pressure against the skin from sporting equipment, collars or clothing.

- Air pollution, high humidity and other environmental irritants.

- Squeezing or picking at blemishes.

- Scrubbing the skin to hard.

- Daily tension.

What doesn't cause acne.

Medical research has yet to prove that dirty skin, eating certain foods and sweets can lead to acne in teens and young adults. However, research does suggests that for people who have acne, excess stress can make it worse.

So Who Gets Acne?

Individuals of all ages can get acne regardless of their race. Studies show that acne skin problems are most common in adolescents and young adults. And at various times 80 percent of all individuals between 11 and 30 years old will have experienced some sort of acne. For many people, acne tends to go away by the time they reach their thirties, but for some people their acne skin problems will carry on to their forties and fifties.

How Should You Care for Your Skin?

Gently Wash Your Skin.

With acne you should always wash your face using a mild soap once in the morning, once the evening before bed, after taking off your make-up or after any heavy exercise.

Check with your doctor or dermatologist for advice on the best type of skin cleanser to use. Using strong soaps or rough scrub pads are not helpful and may make your acne problem worse.

Astringents are not recommended unless your skin very oily and they should be used only on oily spots. It is also important to shampoo your hair frequently and consider shampooing daily if you have oily hair.

Avoid Unnecessary Touching of Your Skin.

Refrain from rubbing or touching your skin lesions. Squeezing, pinching or picking blemishes could development into acne scars or dark skin blotches.

When You Shave, Shave Cautiously.

Men who have facial acne should experiment with both electric and safety razors to find which method is more comfortable. When using a safety razor make sure the blade is sharp and soften your beard thoroughly with soap and water before applying shaving cream. Shave with care and only when required to cutback the chance of nicking your blemishes.

Abstain From Excessive Exposure To The Sun.

Many prescription acne treatments cause your skin to easily sunburn. The darkening of the skin cause by a sun tanning or the redness of the skin from a sunburn may make your skin to feel drier and make acne disappear. However, these conditions are only temporary and there are known risks of excessive sun exposure such as premature aging of the skin or the danger of developing skin cancer.

Ladies Carefully Choose Your Cosmetics.

All cosmetics, such as foundation, blush, eye shadow, moisturizer, and hair-care products should be oil free.
Oil or grease based products can make your acne worse.

To avoid physical and emotional problems associated with acne begin an acne treatment routine before your skin problem becomes severe. If you have doubts, questions or your acne becomes worse see your physician or dermatologist as soon as possible.
