Understanding Acne and Its Causes
Acne is one of the most common skin concerns, affecting people of all ages. It appears when pores become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria, leading to breakouts, inflammation, and sometimes scarring. Hormonal changes, stress, diet, and even skincare habits can all play a role in acne development.
At SkinCare House, we believe that clear, healthy skin starts with understanding the root cause of your concerns. Our experts take a personalised approach to help you achieve lasting results.
Causes & Risk Factors
Why Does Acne Occur?
Acne develops when skin pores become blocked or clogged by bacteria, oil, dead skin, or other debris. Skin pores are the openings for hair follicles, but they also contain the sebaceous glands – these are responsible for the production of sebum, a skin lubricant.
If the sebaceous glands begin to overproduce sebum oil and the pores become blocked, acne will begin to develop.
What Causes Acne?
Hormonal imbalances, diet, and medication can all contribute to acne development. Those with a family history of acne are also found to be at higher risk of a more severe case of acne.
Where Will Acne Most Commonly Develop?
Acne is commonly found in the face and upper body with 95% of people aged 11-30 suffering from acne at some point. Acne is found on:
- Face – Acne is most commonly found on the face with almost all sufferers experiencing facial acne.
- Back – More than half of acne sufferers will experience acne to some extent on their back.
- Chest – About 15% of acne sufferers will experience acne on their chest area.
