Hormones are the number one reason for increased production of sebum (the natural oil produced in the skin), which leads to clogged pores and then the dreaded pimple. If sebum production can be controlled, acne can be reduced. Unfortunately, many acne treatments just cleanse or eliminate the oils on the skin’s surface and don’t address the underlying issue.
An overproduction of sebum can actually damage the pore because it is released with such force that it injures the pore’s lining. Another situation is as the sebum hardens, it plugs the pore, trapping dirt and bacteria within it, causing acne to form.
Although hormonal changes are a normal part of life, sebum production can be reduced with the use of Vitamin A and other natural acne treatments. A regular exercise program can also help regulate and improve your immune system to fight bacteria more efficiently.
