Our skin pores have a sebaceous gland. This gland promotes moisture by producing oil. When oil is produced excessively or there is a blockage in the pores, it forms the basis for bacteria to multiply. Other issues such as breakouts and inflammation, follow. Genes, lifestyle habits, added stress, unhealthy diet, and hormonal disturbance contribute to either causing mild or severe acne.<\/p>\n<p>Also Read:-\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/drmadanaesthetics.in\/cryotherapy-delhi\/\">Cryotherapy Treatment In Delhi<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Acne_%E2%80%93_Underlying_Causes\"><\/span>Acne &#8211; Underlying Causes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hormonal_Disturbances\"><\/span>Hormonal Disturbances<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When the androgens present in both women and men are not stabilized and keep fluctuating, it turns out to be one of the major causes for hormonal acne. One role that androgens play is stimulation of sebaceous glands and an increase in the oil production, leading to skin issues. Generally, you will witness hormonal acne around the chin, cheeks, and jawline. Majorly during pregnancy, once an individual hits puberty, at the time of menstruation, women with PCOS, at menopause, and due to high stress levels this mostly happens.

Oil is essential to retain skin moisture, and that role is best played by the sebaceous glands. However, when it is produced in excess, it is bad to the skin by clogging pores.

Clogging makes it challenging to release oil from the skin and this further causes other inflammatory acne issues, blackheads, and whiteheads. The other reasons for clogging to take place are comedogenic skincare products, lack of cleansing, external pollution, and sweating.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Basic_Lifestyle_Diet_Alterations\"><\/span>Basic Lifestyle &amp; Diet Alterations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Acne due to diet or stress?
