For most people, acne begins at puberty. The body starts to produce hormones called androgens. Androgens cause the enlargement and over-stimulation of the sebaceous glands in people with acne. This leads to the over-production of sebum, and coupled with a sluggish exfoliation process leads to blocked pores and acne. Sensitivity to these androgens also causes acne during the menstrual cycle and sometimes in pregnancy or during the menopause. It’s important to note that acne is not caused by excess in hormone levels, but an abnormal reaction to normal levels of these hormones. We are now seeing more people developing acne in adulthood; possible reasons for this are diet,[..]
