What cause acne

Here are the list of some of the major causes of acne:

• Acne is often genetic
• Some medications and steroids
• Heavy or oily make up
• Over abrasive cleansing
  • Astringent facial products can dry the skin out causing the body to create even more sebum to compensate
  • Use of harsh exfoliators can damage existing spots and spread infection
  • Picking or squeezing of blackheads, whiteheads and spots can send the infection deeper into the skin and cause scarring
• A diet high in foods that can aggravate acne

Back Acne Tips

1. Wear cotton clothing and use powder to keep your back dry.

2. If necessary, you can apply antiperspirant to your back (but don't do this if you are doing vigorous activity - sweating is necessary to keep you from overheating).

3. Since bacteria can exacerbate the condition, always wear clean clothes, bras and T-shirts when working out and put a clean towel down before lying on exercise machines or mats at the gym.

4. Shower as soon as possible after perspiring. Never go straight into the steam room after a sweaty workout-shower first to get rid of dirt and bacteria.

5. You should probably change your shirt twice a day whether you exercise or not to avoid bacteria buildup that can further aggravate your acne.
