The Real Reasons Or Causes You Are Breaking Out

Before diving into a skincare routine, it's important to understand the common causes of breakouts:

• Excess oil production: When your skin produces too much sebum (oil), it can clog pores, leading to acne.
• Clogged pores: Dead skin cells, oil, and dirt can accumulate in your pores, causing blackheads, whiteheads, or cystic acne.
• Bacteria: The bacteria Propionibacterium acnes thrive in clogged pores and can cause inflammation and infection, resulting in breakouts.
• Hormonal changes: Hormonal fluctuations, especially during puberty, menstruation, or pregnancy, can increase oil production and lead to acne.
• Stress: Stress can trigger the production of cortisol, a hormone that can increase oil production, leading to breakouts.
• Improper skincare: Using harsh or wrong skincare products can strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness, irritation, and even more breakouts.

Additional Tips On How To Get Clear Skin

While following a solid skincare routine is crucial for preventing breakouts, there are other habits you can adopt that will further support your skin's health.

1. Keep Your Hands Off Your Face

Touching your face throughout the day transfers oils, dirt, and bacteria to your skin, making it more likely to break out. Avoid resting your face in your hands and wash your hands regularly to keep your skin clean.

2. Use Non-Comedogenic Products

Choosing skincare and makeup labeled as "non-comedogenic" ensures that these products won’t clog your pores. This is key for preventing acne, as clogged pores are a primary cause of breakouts.

3. Change Pillowcases Often

Pillowcases can trap bacteria, sweat, and oils from your skin and hair, which can contribute to acne. Change your pillowcase every few days to reduce the risk of breaking out.

4. Clean Your Phone Regularly

Your phone screen is a breeding ground for bacteria that can transfer to your skin when you answer calls. Clean your phone frequently to avoid transferring germs to your face, which can lead to pimples.

5. Stick To A Consistent Skincare Routine

Inconsistent skincare can confuse your skin and trigger breakouts. Use products suited for your skin type and follow your routine daily for the best results.

6. Avoid Over-Washing Your Face 

Washing your face too often can strip it of its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation. Cleanse gently twice a day to maintain your skin’s natural balance.

7. Regularly Clean Makeup Brushes And Tools

Makeup brushes and applicators can accumulate bacteria, oils, and dead skin cells, which are then transferred to your face during application. Cleaning your brushes and makeup tools regularly will help prevent this buildup, reducing the risk of clogged pores and acne.
