February 6, 2024Why and how do young adults get acne and frequent outbreaks?
Acne is a problem that most people have to deal with at some point in their lives, with about 80% of teenagers and 40% of young adults around the globe being affected by it. With that being said, there is always the question of why and how young adults get acne and frequent outbreaks. There are multiple reasons why this happens, and although many people attribute acne to poor lifestyle choices, the truth is that many times it is not caused by it.
There are a lot of myths related to acne that aren’t always true, such as: Acne only impacts teens, toothpaste can get rid of pimples, the more you exfoliate the better, tanning can help clear acne or that greasy foods or chocolate causes breakouts.
Unknown to many people, different studies have proven that stress can generate physical responses from the body, one of which being hormonal changes. We don’t always pay too much attention to our stress levels, but this imbalance can cause certain hormones like cortisol to increase and make our sebaceous glands produce more oil than usual. This excess can clog our pores and develop bacteria, which then leads to acne outbreaks.
Impact of Acne on quality of life
While the condition itself is not dangerous, it’s sometimes downplayed. The psychological and emotional side effects acne can cause are often overlooked, especially in severe cases..
We all know how important our young adult years are, as it’s when we experience the most development in many aspects of our lives and feel the most vulnerable from an emotional standpoint. This can lead to feeling uncomfortable in our own bodies and as such having low self-esteem.
Academic stress is one of the main stress-related reasons that can cause acne breakouts, even when you are on a healthy diet. With universities demanding more and more from theirs students each year, it’s no surprise it has a big impact on their mental health as well. Unfortunately, when this occurs, it can become a never-ending cycle if nothing is done about it.
Academic stress causes breakouts 🠲 Acne causes low self-esteem and anxiety 🠲 Which can eventually affect academic performance. And we are back to square one!
