What Really Causes Acne?
(Hint: It’s Not Just Oil)

If you’re struggling with breakouts even after cleansing religiously, avoiding fried food, and trying every “anti-acne” product you can find — you're not alone. Acne is one of the most common skin concerns we treat at our beauty salon, and guess what? It’s not just about oily skin.
Let’s break down what really causes acne — and how our Intensive Acne Medic Treatment can help you get the clear, calm skin you’ve been looking for.
1. Hormonal Imbalances
🧬
Hormonal fluctuations — especially during your period, stress, or lack of sleep — can signal your oil glands to go into overdrive. More oil = higher chances of clogged pores and painful cystic acne, especially around the chin and jawline.
💡 Tip: If you notice breakouts every month before your cycle, hormones may be the culprit.
2. Bacterial Overgrowth
🦠
Acne bacteria (C. acnes) thrive in clogged, oily environments. Once they multiply, they trigger inflammation under your skin, which shows up as red, swollen pimples or deep bumps.
😰 Using too many harsh products can actually worsen this by damaging your skin barrier and inviting more irritation.
3. Diet, Lifestyle & Product Mistakes 🍫
Late nights, a high-sugar diet, dairy, or even using the wrong skincare products (like pore-clogging foundation or alcohol-based toners) can trigger breakouts too. Skin is often a reflection of what’s happening inside.
🧼 Even over-cleansing can strip your skin, causing it to produce more oil to “compensate” — a vicious cycle!
