Have you ever wondered why it is that you continuously experience chronic acne breakouts? No matter which acne products you use, or how well you take care of your skin, the red or white bumps continue to plague your complexion, leaving scars behind.

Following are the most common causes of acne. If you happen to be suffering from one of the top two, consider yourself lucky because once you eliminate the cause, your acne may never return.

Most common acne cause #1. Cosmetic allergies

The absolute most common and easily overlooked cause of superficial acne is from cosmetic allergies. Mild allergies are so common and at times silent, that many people often dismiss the symptoms as ‘nothing’. The most common acne contributing allergies are to preservatives, additives and fragrance found in makeup, lotions, creams, hair products, soaps, laundry detergent, nail polish and other cosmetic products.

Tips to overcome cosmetic allergies:

Only use products which are

Nonacnegenic, or noncomedogenic
Perfume free
Formulated for sensitive skin
Dermatologist recommended

Also..

Keep hair products off of your skin
Rinse hair conditioner thoroughly
Be mindful of what you put on your skin

 

Most common acne cause #2. Hard water and over treated water

My family doctor actually mentioned this acne tip to me. He explained that some water is so over treated to protect us from harmful contents, that in fact, the chemicals which treat the water to be safe, could at times cause a skin reaction.  Your skin may appear dry or itchy at first, followed by red or white body acne formation.

Tips to overcome hard water causing acne:

Use a water filter in your entire house or insert a shower head water filter

 

Most common acne cause #3. Hormonal acne

Hormonal acne, at times associated with hereditary acne, is the most difficult to treat and is unfortunately, not yet well understood.  From personal experience, I can tell you that successful treatment is possible by a well balanced blend of medical and holistic treatments.  By treating your skin topically, and cleansing your body from within, you can eliminate the internal and external acne causing bacteria and toxic acne breakouts.

Tips to overcome hormonal and hereditary acne:

Use a prescription strength or OTC Benzoyl Peroxide acne treatment daily
Use a mild facial wash specifically formulated for acne skin
Cleanse and detoxify your body - a mild and natural method is best
Take a multi vitamin specifically formulated for your age and gender or a multi vitamin formulated to treat acne prone skin
