Peach & Lily - What Causes Acne?

Peach & Lily - What Causes Acne?

What Causes Acne?

There are many answers to the question “what causes acne?” and what causes acne for one person may not for another. It’s an important question to answer though, because it helps get to the roots of a breakout and treating it will provide long lasting results. Acne is typically a symptom of an underlying issue and the answer to the “what causes acne” question is usually related to one of these three root acne causes:

Inflammation

Dehydration, irritation, stress, and pollution can all cause inflammation. They trigger increased sebum – an oily, waxy like substance your body’s sebaceous glands produce – production and cause skin cells to turnover more slowly. That combination can be a cause of an acne breakout.

Compromised Skin Barrier

Think of your skin as a highly intelligent filtering system that keeps the bad guys – bacteria, germs, and other pollutants – out while keeping the good guys – moisture – safe and comfy inside the skin. Pollutants that slip through this barrier can cause acne breakouts and, making matters worse, let moisture out which leaves the skin dehydrated. Dehydrated skin then leads to…inflammation, which we now both know is an acne cause on its own.

Beyond the Skin

Skin is a crucial part of the body and it’s integrated into a set of various systems like the digestive, endocrine, and circulatory systems, meaning an issue in some other part of your body could be behind a breakout. The skin is such a helpful organ because it can actually reveal your overall body health and show symptoms of other issues your body is struggling with. For example, excessive stress affects multiple parts of the body and can lead to elevated levels of cortisol and adrenaline in our bodies, triggering inflammation that shows itself as acne.

Acne is a problem that we all deal with, and Peach and Lily has a wide selection of acne products to help not only prevent acne but treat it as well. Our Peach Slices Acne Spot Dots are our most popular – and award winning – but you can also shop our full selection to choose what you feel would work best for you and your skincare routine.
