Key Takeaways

  • Acne can be caused by bacteria transferred to your face from your phone or hands.
  • Acne can also be triggered by stress.
  • Hormonal changes can trigger breakouts. If your periods are irregular or you’ve changed your birth control, that could be causing acne.
  • Dietary changes or not getting enough nutrients can also cause breakouts.
  • If your skin is dehydrated, you’re actually more likely to break out.

So acne can be so multifactorial. It can be bacterial. Maybe your phone. Maybe something you're touching your face with. Acne can be stress regulated, so if your cortisol levels are going up, you can really break out. Acne can be related to your hormones, so if your periods are irregular or if you've changed your birth control. Acne can actually be related to fungus, so if you've been working out more and not cleansing as much. Acne can be related to diet. If you're taking a new supplement, new whey protein, or creatine, or conversely if you're just not getting the right nutrients. Acne can be related to dehydration. If you're not getting enough moisturization, not enough humidity, not enough water, sometimes your skin cells can be dry and flaky and you can get some acne rosacea. Acne can be related to so many factors. So in general, if you're not getting the results that you want, you should consult a board certified dermatologist and we can help you determine the root cause and not just kind of put a bandaid on it.
