CANDY SHOP ROUTINE
MAINTAINING A HEALTHY SKINCARE REGIMEN HELPS SOLVE THE PROBLEM BEFORE IT STARTS, AND HELPS SKIN HEAL AFTER IT HAS BEGUN BY BOOSTING THE NATURAL SKIN BARRIER FUNCTION AND REDUCING INFLAMMATION TRIGGERS AND CONSEQUENCES.
ADULT ACNE IS CAUSED BY MULTIPLE FACTORS. THOSE WHO ARE PRONE TO OILY SKIN TEND TO HAVE LARGER PORES AND ARE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE AND INFLAMMATION-TRIGGERS LIKE POLLUTION, BACTERIA, UVA/UVB, STRESS.
HORMONAL DYSFUNCTIONS PLAY A ROLE AS CAN GENETIC PREDISPOSITIONS AND AGE; LATE ONSET ACNE IN WOMEN IS TYPICALLY RELATED TO DISCONTINUING HORMONAL CONTRACEPTIVES.
STUDIES HAVE ALSO SHOWN THAT HIGH GLYCEMIC FOODS MAY INFLUENCE OR AGGRAVATE ACNE FOR SOME PEOPLE.
