Acne skin

There are 4 grads of acne.
Esthetician treat only 1 and 2 level. We have also teenagers or adult acne.
Acne characterized by breakouts, comedones, and to disfiguring cysts and scarring.
There are few causes of acne:
- Clogged pores
- Bacteria
- Cosmetics and products
- Hormones, stress and food
Comedogenic ingredients can cause cells to build up than we have open and closed comedones.

After that closed comedones are formed. These comedones are the beginning of acne problems if they are not treated with proper skin care. So the open comedones cannot live in the presence of oxygen. When follicles are blocked with sebum and dead skin build-up, oxygen cannot reach the bottom of the follicle, resulting in bacteria growth. Inflammation and redness occur.
Another cause is Male hormones, known as ANDROGENS, stimulates sebaceous glands. High levels of the male hormone testosterone cause an increase in oil production.
