The triggers of acne!<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Acne and blemishes are a <strong>common<\/strong> <strong>skin condition<\/strong>. It occurs particularly in <strong>adolescents<\/strong>, as hormonal changes during <strong>puberty <\/strong>promote hyperfunction of the sebaceous glands. However, there are many different <strong>acne triggers<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is not only a disorder of the <strong>sebaceous glands<\/strong> that can be the cause. An <strong>overgrowth of bacteria <\/strong>or an <strong>inflammatory reaction<\/strong> can also be the cause of blemished skin. Genetic predispositions can also have a negative effect on the appearance of the skin.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The development of acne is a <strong>process<\/strong> that is determined by many different influencing factors. The skin is <strong>imbalanced and the skin&#8217;s protective barrier is damaged<\/strong>. This manifests itself in irritations such as <strong>pustules and spots<\/strong>. On this page you will read all about the triggers of acne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-primary-background-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/akne-wissen\/\">Acne &#8211; find out all about it!<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ausloeser-akne.jpg\" alt=\"Triggers of acne\" class=\"wp-image-2318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ausloeser-akne.jpg 683w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ausloeser-akne-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ausloeser-akne-600x900.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/akne-wer-bekommt-akne-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Who gets acne?\" class=\"wp-image-2321\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/akne-wer-bekommt-akne-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/akne-wer-bekommt-akne-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/akne-wer-bekommt-akne-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/akne-wer-bekommt-akne-769x513.jpg 769w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/akne-wer-bekommt-akne-412x275.jpg 412w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/akne-wer-bekommt-akne-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/akne-wer-bekommt-akne.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who gets acne?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Around <strong>80<\/strong> percent of the population have been affected by acne at some point in their lives. Adolescents in <strong>puberty<\/strong> complain particularly frequently about this problem.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Acne occurs mainly in <strong>boys<\/strong> and <strong>young men<\/strong> and is often more pronounced in them.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One trigger in adolescents is the production of male <strong>hormones<\/strong> and <strong>sex hormones<\/strong> such as <strong>testosterone<\/strong> during puberty.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These hormones stimulate the sebaceous glands to secrete more sebum. The increased sebum production causes acne.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>In addition, the skin of teenagers tends to thicken at the sebaceous glands.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This causes sebum and detached skin cells to accumulate and the characteristic white blackheads appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But acne can also occur in adults over the age of 20 or 30. This is referred to as <strong>adult acne<\/strong> or <strong>late acne<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Late acne is less common in men than in women.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Especially women who have been taking the <strong>pill<\/strong> since the beginning of puberty and stop taking it after a few years have problems. This <strong>hormonal change<\/strong> is one of the <strong>triggers of acne<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Infant acne<\/strong>, which occurs in the <strong>first few months of life<\/strong>, is also common. This is usually triggered by hereditary predispositions, which can lead to severe acne flare-ups even during puberty.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/akne-symptome-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Typical symptoms of acne\" class=\"wp-image-1793\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/akne-symptome-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/akne-symptome-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/akne-symptome-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/akne-symptome-769x513.jpg 769w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/akne-symptome-412x275.jpg 412w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/akne-symptome-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/akne-symptome.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/akne-was-fehlt-meinem-koerper-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"What is my body missing with acne?\" class=\"wp-image-2323\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/akne-was-fehlt-meinem-koerper-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/akne-was-fehlt-meinem-koerper-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/akne-was-fehlt-meinem-koerper-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/akne-was-fehlt-meinem-koerper-769x513.jpg 769w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/akne-was-fehlt-meinem-koerper-412x275.jpg 412w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/akne-was-fehlt-meinem-koerper-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/pelvyra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/akne-was-fehlt-meinem-koerper.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is my body missing with acne?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pimples and blackheads (comedones) are primarily a sign that the skin is unbalanced.

The wrong food intake is often seen as a trigger for acne.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most scientists agree on one point. All foods with a high glycemic index<strong>(milk<\/strong> and <strong>dairy products<\/strong>) promote <strong>blemished<\/strong> <strong>skin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Smoking<\/strong> is <strong>considered a risk factor<\/strong> for <strong>acne<\/strong> and is therefore also a possible trigger. On the one hand, cigarettes release many substances that promote inflammation and smoking constricts the blood vessels in the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some certain medications such as <strong>antidepressants, steroids, antiepileptic drugs<\/strong> and the increased use of <strong>androgens<\/strong> can promote acne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cosmetics and facial care products with a high <strong>oil and fat content<\/strong> can also clog the sebaceous glands. This in turn can be a trigger for acne.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Clothing that is too tight<\/strong>, such as helmets, face shields or headbands, can also exacerbate acne. By preventing sufficient <strong>sebum flow<\/strong> due to excessive pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stress and prolonged emotional tension can significantly slow down the healing of scars and promote acne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to <strong>do<\/strong> something about your <strong>acne<\/strong>?
