Understanding Acne: Causes and Why It Matters
Acne develops due to clogged pores, excess oil production, bacteria, and inflammation. Factors like hormones, diet, stress, and improper skincare can contribute to frequent breakouts. Additionally, Edmonton’s weather can play a role in acne flare-ups—cold, dry winters can strip the skin of moisture, leading to excess oil production and clogged pores, while hot, humid summers can increase sweat and bacteria buildup, triggering breakouts. Identifying your skin condition, triggers, and environmental factors is the first step toward an effective treatment plan. Learn more about various skin conditions here.
