Learn the True Cause of Acne

Millions of people around the world are living in bondage to the horrible symptoms of acne. There are many who have wasted hundreds of dollars on several different skin applications and treatments only to get rid of acne over night when their acne returns within a few months as soon as they stop using the treatment. They are often discouraged and upset because their efforts seem to be in vain. The shocking truth they need to face is that most acne treatment programs only treat the symptoms of pimples and they don’t treat to the root cause of them.

Acne begins to form when the skin produces an over abundance of oil known as sebum. Hormonal imbalance is the primary cause behind excessive sebum formation. When the skin manufactures blood toxins that begin combining with the sebum, bacterium known as the Propionibacterium acnes start multiplying in the hair follicles.

The Propionibacterium acnes begin to feed on the sebum. While the bacterium begin to feed on the sebum they release a free fatty acid that irritates the skin. Then the body produces red and white blood cells as a line of defense. These red and white blood cells usually result in an inflammatory response that causes the typical symptoms of acne.

Therefore, pimples are not actually a result of skin issues, but hormonal issues. Mainstream media has wrongfully informed us that the Propionibacterium acnes, or the acne bacterium are the primary cause of acne. However, the Propionibacterium acnes are a necessary skin bacterium that are only a small piece of the acne puzzle. These bacterium only cause skin issues when combined with the sebum brought on by a hormonal imbalance. If these hormonal issues are corrected along with a healthy lifestyle and diet then acne will be conquered.
