00:00Certain things may trigger or worsen acne.
00:04Hormonal Changes
00:05Androgens are hormones that increase in boys and girls during puberty and cause the sebaceous
00:12glands to enlarge and make more sebum.
00:16Hormone changes during midlife, particularly in women, can lead to breakouts too.
00:23Certain medications. Examples include drugs containing corticosteroids, testosterone or lithium.
00:33Diet
00:34Studies indicate that consuming certain foods, including carbohydrate-rich foods such as bread,
00:42bagels and chips, they worsen acne.
00:44Further studies needed to examine whether people with acne would benefit from following
00:50specific dietary restrictions.
00:55Stress
00:56Stress doesn't cause acne, but if you have acne already, stress make it worse.

01:12Eating chocolate or greasy foods has little to no effect on acne.
01:18Hygiene
01:20Acne isn't caused by dirty skin.
01:22In fact, scrubbing the skin too hard or cleansing with harsh soaps or chemicals irritates the skin
01:28and can make acne worse.
01:33Cosmetics
01:34Cosmetics don't necessarily worsen acne, especially if you use oil-free makeup that doesn't clog
01:41pores, and remove makeup regularly.
01:45Non-oily cosmetics don't interfere with the effectiveness of acne drugs.

01:57these acne complications.
