Acne has several etiologies including but not limited to environmental, habits, lifestyle, type of food we eat everyday and hormonal changes.
As we age, especially for women, estrogen levels decline while testosterone increases. This will lead to increase in oil production and pores becoming larger resulting in clogged pores and bacterial habitation.
Due to its effect on causing dryness and irritation, acne products can make skin look older. On the other hand, anti-aging products can lead to breakouts due to clogged pores. Retinoids, on the other hand, can help to unclog pores and prevent acne resulting in an anti-aging renewal effect, when used topically. Other forms of treatment available to reduce acne are medications that can decrease the effects of male hormone levels, chemical peels, and blue light therapies. Yet, the best habit to prevent acne is to wash your face twice a day and use non-comedogenic products.
