WHAT IS ACNE?

Acne is an aesthetic condition when greasy discharges from the body’s oil glands obstruct the small openings for hair in the skin. Once these openings are plugged up, acne is then formed. While acne is a condition commonly found in teenagers, roughly 20% of all acne cases occur in adulthood. People of all genders and backgrounds can experience acne breakouts. While acne is most commonly found on the face, breakouts may also be found on other parts of the body like the chest, back, and shoulders.

WHAT CAUSES ACNE?

Two of the most common causes of acne are hormones and bacteria.

As people go through puberty, testosterone influences the body’s production of sebum, which is the oil produced by the skin.

Bacteria can cause acne by clogging the openings of the skin where hair grows. As bacteria fills up these openings, whiteheads or blackheads–also known as “comedomes”– can be seen on the skin’s surface.

WHAT DOESN’T CAUSE ACNE?

Acne is actually not caused by inadequate hygiene or dieting. Many cases of acne are the result of genetics and hormones, making them difficult to prevent. While breakouts of acne may be inevitable, VITAHL Chicago offers numerous treatment options to alleviate breakouts and beautify your look!
