• The sun:

UV radiation thickens the skin. The sebum can therefore be harder away, he hopes under the skin and forms stubborn pimples.

• Smoking:

Smoking makes the skin not only dull, but also thicker. Like the sun, it works in the hand to create pimples under the skin. They break more or less easily.

• Stress:

The sebaceous glands are extremely sensitive to the substances that are secreted by stress. Half of the acne bumps occur in periods of stress. Probably because stress increases the secretion of tallow. It then hopes and it will again help to increase bacteria and inflammation.

• Pollution:

Pollution alleviates the functioning of many systems in our body, including the system that controls the skin function. Pollution also pollutes our skin from the outside and causes inflammatory reactions under the skin.

• Nutrition:

It is not black to white proved that certain foods would work out acne, even though it is often thought of chocolate. But our Western cuisine with her many "bad" fats and refined sugars has an impact on hormonal production and also promotes inflammation.

The main remedy for acne is a change of life hygiene:

• Quit smoking.
• Less stress.
