Acne Treatment
What is acne?
Bacteria, excess sebum production, dead cell accumulation and an inflammatory response. The causes and triggers of acne can be intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic triggers include stress, hormonal shifts (menstrual, pregnancy, escalation of testosterone, other health related issues), genetics, and diet (dairy or high glycemic foods). Extrinsic causes include pollution and climate, (lack of) skincare/good hygiene, picking at skin, and UV light.
