Triggering Factors for Acne

Acne (acne vulgaris or cystic acne) may occur specially during the adolescence and it may stretch its duration even up to adulthood.  Nobody is excuse when it comes to adolescent period. During this stage, the production of testosterone may go from adequate to extremely active and the skin is always the first one to show chemical reaction through several skin problems and acne is just one of the many in the list.  Though, you must keep in mind that there are other known triggering factors for acne to surface on your skin as well, it can also be triggered due to allergic reactions to food (mostly seafood), weather conditions, chemicals from environmental pollution either on air or water for drinking or bathing.

 Things to Watch For

(Take note that all these information is not a medical advice but based on research made by some skin experts and from some individuals with pre-existing skin conditions.)

 Seafood

It is a sad thing to be allergic to seafood and nobody can deny the fact that it is one of the delectable munchies everyone will ever have to enjoy in his or her lifetime.  Ironically, seafood exhibits most natural chemicals and enzymes that triggers reaction to almost 40 to 45 percent of the world’s population.  If you have been diagnosed to have allergy to seafood, it is best for you to avoid them or if you cannot really resist (which is totally understandable) it is best for you to seek an advise from your Dermatologist or Family Doctor in order for you to know that steps to take when allergic reactions occur or at least get a prescription for preventive medication. This way, you can be sure that you are ready to neutralize any skin irritation that may occur.

 Water

Whether for drinking, bathing, or simply cleansing your face, it is important that you know how safe your supply of water is.  Water usability is a usual issue specially in highly urbanized areas such as big cities and industrialized towns and districts as there is a very big chance that some harmful chemicals may find a way to mix with the water supply used by the region’s residents.  The skin is very sensitive to chemicals as it absorbs almost anything in contact.  Aside from noticeable skin rashes to acne, some skin discoloration is also observed to those people who have been using contaminated water.

 Unnecessary Chemicals

You have to understand that your skin needs to have some breathers as well, this is true specially for women who are required to wear makeup everyday and  remove them at the end of the day.  Keeping things simple is always the way to go if you want to keep a healthy skin and dumping all the chemicals there can be in the market of vanity is the surest way to destroy your skin’s natural defense against infections and other skin problems.
