Hormonal Changes
Hormonal changes, whether they occur in adolescence or adulthood, are a breeding ground for the onset or aggravation of acne. An imbalance between estrogen and progesterone levels, among other things, accentuates the appearance of the sign of acne.
Heredity
Although heredity is not considered to be the only factor explaining the onset of acne, it plays an important role in it. Indeed, the risk of suffering from acne is five times higher when both parents have also been affected.
Products
Some facial and hair products and makeup can promote acne, especially when they contain oily ingredients, such as silicon or are not suited to your skin type.
Medications
Several medications can exacerbate the problem, such as corticosteroids and certain antiepileptics, immunosuppressants and mood regulators.
Stress
Stress can cause and aggravate acne problems, as it increases the production of cortisol, adrenal androgens and insulin – hormones that influence the behaviour of the sebaceous glands and the production of sebum.
Hormonal Changes
Hormonal changes, aging, over-plucking, or genetics can cause eyebrows to thin or become sparse.
Sun
Sun exposure, aging, or genetics contribute to hyperpigmentation, causing uneven skin tone and dark spots.
