Acne is almost a skin problem, which occurs due to the unhygienic skin habits. Human skin has pores called hair follicles. Acne occurs due to the clogging of these follicles with unwanted stuff. Our body results in dead cells as an end product of the metabolic activities. These dead cells get accumulated in the pores. Our skin has oil-producing glands called sebaceous glands, which secretes oil. Dead cells along with this oil become an unhygienic environment for the bacterial and fungal infections.
Some main reason for acne problems is uncontrolled food habits, lack of nutrients and hygiene. Mainly zinc and vitamin contents should be rich in the food we consume. Don’t consume oily foods as this indirectly results in more secretion of oil by sebaceous glands. Don’t take over spicy foods as they result in your hormonal imbalance and may end up on acne.
