If you often have breakouts and your skin lives in a constant state of redness and blemishes, you likely have acne-prone skin. Acne-prone skin can be easily irritated and the pores of the skin can quickly become clogged. Most people assume acne-prone skin is typically oily. That is not always the case. People can have dry skin, oily, or a combination of any of the skin types and still have acne-prone skin.
Acne-prone skin can sometimes be due to:
Age – It is not just preteens and teens who can suffer from breakouts when they hit puberty. Hormone changes can cause breakouts at any stage of life.
Environment – Pollution, weather, and pollen all play a big part in the health of your skin. A good daily skincare routine can help clean, nourish, and protect your skin.
Cosmetics – Some makeup and skincare products can clog your pores. If they are not washed off properly each day they can cause breakouts and irritation to the skin.
Diet – diet can affect hormones that, in turn, can make acne worse. For example, milk and foods with a high sugar content can cause a rise in insulin levels, altering other hormones that can affect the skin. Avoiding too much sugar and processed foods, and following a healthy diet with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, can help keep acne under control.
