Your skin normally feels fine, and then suddenly: a breakout of pimples. Sound familiar? Suddenly suffering from acne can be incredibly frustrating – especially when you think you are doing everything right. But there are often underlying triggers that you can recognize and tackle. In this article we will delve deeper into this, with natural tips to bring your skin back into balance.
Why do you suddenly get acne?
Acne is not a problem that only affects teenagers. Many adults still experience breakouts, especially during hormonal changes, stress or after a change in diet. Using certain cosmetics or not cleaning your skin thoroughly can also clog pores.
According to this study on PubMed, factors such as insulin fluctuations, inflammatory responses, and diet may contribute to the development of acne in adults.
5 Common Triggers for a Sudden Acne Breakout:
-
Hormonal surges (e.g. menstruation, stopping contraception)
-
Increased stress levels
-
Too little sleep or overtiredness
-
Changes in diet (such as a lot of dairy, sugar or fast carbohydrates)
-
Use of comedogenic skin products
What can you do?
In addition to good skin care (mild cleansing, hydrating and protecting), you can also support your skin from within. The B.me Clear Skin formula contains zinc, nettle and vitamin B6 - ingredients that help regulate sebum production, hormonal balance and inflammation.
