Acne and Its Causes

The highest cause of acne is stress. For many people, acne goes away in their twenties. But unfortunately, many college graduates face more stressful jobs as the economy has gone down. People who have lost their jobs actually have more acne than normal.

Many products have been created to help Coloradans stay acne free. Statistics show that people have bought more acne products than ever within the last year.

As high school curriculum becomes more challenging, many teens at George Washington have been breaking out.
“Its been challenging for me, but I try to keep up.” says a sophomore.

The second highest cause of acne is sugar. Sugar clogs up the pores, which causes more acne to arise. I went to my friends basketball games, and half of the guys there drank Gatorade which has tons of sugar. I also see how much sugar people intake at the movies. I’ve seen a 5 year old boy drink two large Cokes and a medium popcorn.

Another thing is that even though some people don’t know that they are encouraging their kids to have sugar. Some parents think its okay to give their children tons of sugar. But what they don’t realize is that if they don’t stop kids and teens will continue to have sugar, which in turn will give them more acne.

Overall acne in teens and young adults have been increasing for over a year. I encourage parents, teens, and adults to go to their local Dermatologist for acne treatments.
