Acne is set off when the sebaceous glands, otherwise called the oil secreting glands become hyper. The key functionality of these glands is to deposit oil throughout the body, excluding the soles and palms; this helps to increase skin moisture. Unfortunately, excess oil surging from these glands is not healthy for the body, because this influences the growth of bacteria, when combined with dead skin and sweat. Moreover, these conditions cause cysts, blackheads and whiteheads to plague the skin. Here are some elements that play a role in breakouts: Poor hygiene If the skin is not cleansed regularly, this will build up debris that blocks the skin from having a healthy surge of oxygen throughout its pores. Breakouts on the body are more difficult to deal with, in contrast to facial conditions, given that the pores on the body are bigger. By maintaining good personal hygiene, the body will respire better; thus slowing down the breakout process. Stress This is another known condition that set off breakouts, and also influence hormonal imbalance in the body. When the body’s adrenal glands discharge more cortisol; our sebaceous glands will naturally increase oil and the body’s immune system will slow down its process. In return, blemishes will take longer to heal as a result of these changes.
