The facts
Acne > What causes the skin to breakout?
Human cells are to be found inside every pore of the skin. These cells can clump together and mix with sebum, thus blocking the pore. This mixture of cells and sebum sometimes combines with bacteria, causing inflammation, redness and swelling - in other words, comedos or blackheads and pimples.
Stay calm
Stress can alter body chemistry, which has a direct effect on the appearance of pimples. Stress also contributes to a considerable increase in hormone levels, which can produce an immediate, severe reaction on the part of the skin. Moreover, stress may cause the development of such nervous habits as rubbing the face and scratching or picking at pimples, which may spread the problem to other areas.
