What acne says about your health? There are many different causes to acne. And in many cases you don’t realise that your internal factors can have a direct affect on your complexion. These include but not limited to how much you sleep, how much stress you’re under and what air you’re breathing in. Remember great skin comes from taking care of your self both internally. As well asl what you put on your skin.
What cases acne?
The production of excess sebum( oil) results in acne. Which is an oil that stops the skin from drying out. This oil clumps together with dead skin cells within your pores, causing an acne lesion or spot.
These lesions vary in size and severity. And form when bacteria enters the pores. As a result triggering an inflammatory response from the immune system.
