Acne isn’t just a skin condition – it’s a life condition. Having one or two pimples during a stressful workweek is bearable; but continually fighting a massive outbreak on your face can make you feel like hiding in your bedroom for life.
There’s no denying that acne affects more than your face: it wreaks havoc on your self-esteem, your confidence, and the very quality of your life. You find yourself unwilling to speak up in meetings. Unable to talk to that cute coworker you’ve had a crush on. And you certainly are unwilling to step outside your home without make-up covering your acne.
There’s an old saying that indicates you should know your enemy. Therefore, if you want to stand up to your acne once and for all, it’s important to know what’s causing it – and what can nip it in the bud:
The Causes of Acne
A bout of particularly stubborn acne can be spurred on by a number of things; however, for women in particular, the biggest causes of acne are stress, hormones, adult female acne, and candida.
Ever notice how your acne seems to flare up during a particularly stressful week at work, or when you’re having relationship drama? That’s because stress is causing your hormones to flare up, which prompts your oil glands to go into overdrive. The more oil secreted by your glands, the more clogged your pores become – and that leads to your acne. With regards to candida (a yeast-like fungus that lives within moist areas of the body), this infection causes your immune system and hormones to go off-balance, which in turn prompts a sudden increase in oil production.
