Dermatologist named common causes of acne in adults

Acne is often associated with adolescence, but it can often appear in adults. Anastasia Sokolova, a cosmetologist and dermatologist at SM-Cosmetology, reported on the causes of the skin disease in an interview withГазете.Ru ".

"One of the most common causes of acne in adults is hormonal changes. Hormones such as testosterone can stimulate the sebaceous glands, which leads to increased sebum production. This creates an ideal breeding ground for bacteria, which in turn leads to inflammation and acne formation," the dermatologist pointed out.

She clarified that disruptions in the normal production of hormones can occur in the body for many reasons. These include pregnancy, thyroid disease, or menstruation.

Excessive stress can be another cause of acne. Stress leads to an increase in the level of the hormone cortisol. It can cause increased sebum production and provoke inflammation.

"Special attention should be paid to: dairy products — studies show that they can increase insulin levels, contributing to the formation of rashes; fatty and fried foods — excessive consumption of saturated fats, trans fats and carcinogens can also negatively affect skin health," the expert warned.

Also, the appearance of skin problems can be influenced by the environment or illiterate skin care.
