Acne is a very common skin condition that can affect different age groups. Acne is most commonly associated with teenagers going through a phase of hormonal imbalance. However, it can also affect adults of all age groups, recently adult acne has witnessed a significant increase. Causes of Acne Hormonal imbalances cause the glands in the skin to produce excess oil, and this is the most common cause of acne. The excess oil, along with dirt and dead skin cells clogs the pores leading to the formation of pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. Genetics also play a role in the development of acne, as some people are more prone to acne than others. Environmental factors, such as pollution and stress, can also contribute to the development of acne. Natural vs Chemical solutions for Acne, Acne scars and Pimples The issue with chemical products dealing with acne is the likely side effects and the impact that they can cause. Most chemical formulations contain Salicylic acid and Benzoyl Peroxide generally work temporarily for fighting the problem of acne and pimples. Salicylic Acid treats pimples by drying out excess oils or sebum in pores and can reduce blackheads and white heads. However, it can adversely impact the natural skin mantle and cause excessive dryness and irritation. Benzoyl Peroxide, another common chemical in acne treatments works by peeling away the skin to get rid of dead skin cells, excessive oil, and bacteria trapped underneath. This can also dry the skin and cause redness, excessive peeling, itching and irritation in some cases. Depending on its severity, acne can cause emotional distress and scar the skin. It is always better to treat blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples at an early stage to prevent the formation of scars and to treat the acne scars at an early stage too.
