Do we really know what causes acne? To name a few of the probable causes, these are hormonal imbalance, diet, hereditary, vitamin deficiency, and stress.
Of the above mentioned causes, we normally correlate acne to stress, that if we are stressed expect that acne will occur. What is stress anyway? Stress is a general term that includes almost everything. This can be best linked to physical and emotional tension.
First, physical strain, how do we acquire this? Many of us thought that stress is caused by emotional tension alone. This is not the case. Physical tension contributes to bring stress as well. Those people who have a lot of vices and those abusing their body are the ones principally experiencing this tension causing acne to appear. Those who stayed late at night, those who are smoking, those who are drinking alcohol, taking prohibited drugs, and even those sports minded person but overly and poorly done it for not having adequate rest are experiencing physical strains. They may not know it that they are experiencing such but believe it they are experiencing this kind of strain.
Second, emotional strain. This is the cause of acne that we usually know but do we really know what those emotional strains are? There are numerous emotional strains and some of those are with regard to relationship problems, preparing for wedding and other important events, sick loved ones, and also financial problems. Almost all negative feelings and untoward situations cause emotional strain.
So as a solution in avoiding acne, avoid first the two strains by having a good exercise but not overdoing it. We all know that exercise is good for the health and the best stress reducer. And lastly, take a good and peaceful sleep. These will surely help you avoid the stress and eradicate acne.
Having acne will not just stop there. Acne, on the other hand can cause depression. It is discovered that even the slightest cases of acne can cause low self-esteem or to extreme situation can trigger in committing suicide. Young adults are the typical victims of acne as they are in their puberty stage where they undergo physical changes. Good if acne disappears without leaving any scar but in most cases what usually happened is the other way around, acne causes embarrassment which leads to depression.
So in order to avoid depression and treating the same – cure acne first. How can this be done? Yes, you are seeing a dermatologist, but have you tried if not totally resolved the emotional and physical strains in your life? If not, forget seeing a dermatologist. Those beauty creams, medicines and other beauty regimens prescribed by your dermatologist are worthless if you yourself are hopeless in at least lessening those two strains.
