Causes of Acne

The cause of acne can be determined from a variety of factors. Generally speaking, the cause of acne is due to dead skin and oil building up in a pore. The pores of your skin contain oil glands, which lubricate your hair and skin. The causes of acne can therefore be reduced to four general categories:

1. Natural hormones
   Hormones are continuously present in you body throughout your life, however, during the teenage years, hormones become much more active.
2. Clogged Pores
   When a large number of skin cells collect on the surface, they can clog the oil glands or pores, creating blackheads or whiteheads.
3. Bacteria
   Bacteria thrives on oil and can easily infect oil glands and pores. Bad infections can result creating the typical pimple or cyst (which are more infectious than a standard pimple. Cysts are also the types that cause the most scaring).
4. Genetics
   If a parent had bad acne as a teenager, the likelihood of passing on those hormones and/or sensitive skin is very good.
