What is acne?
Acne is a common skin condition. It affects around 80% of teenagers. Several factors, including genetics, environment and nutrition, contribute to its appearance.
Genetics play an important role in predisposition to acne. If your parents suffered from severe acne, there’s a good chance you’ll be affected too. Genes can influence sebum production, inflammatory response and skin cell renewal.
The environment also influences the appearance of acne. Pollution, cosmetics, unsuitable skincare products and stress are just some of the factors that promote acne.
Nutrition plays a not inconsiderable role in the development of acne: foods with a high glycemic index, milk and dairy products are acne-promoting.
It’s important to mention that hormonal fluctuations (during menstrual cycles, pregnancy or contraceptive use) can aggravate or trigger acne.
Holistic management by your dermatologist will enable you to treat your acne holistically.
