Hormonal changes: Hormonal fluctuations, especially during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, or when taking medication, increase sebum production, leading to acne.
Improper skincare: Using products that are not suitable for your skin type, over-washing your face, or not thoroughly cleansing after makeup can clog pores and cause acne.
Unhealthy diet: Consuming too much sugar, fast food, or fatty foods can increase oil production and lead to breakouts.
Stress and anxiety: Prolonged stress triggers the body to produce more cortisol, which stimulates the sebaceous glands, resulting in acne.
Lack of sleep and insufficient rest: Not getting enough or quality sleep affects the skin's regeneration process and weakens its immune function, making it more prone to acne.
