TOP 6 ACNE AGGRAVATORS:
  • comedogenic (pore clogging) ingredients in skin and hair care products, as well as detergents and fabric softeners
  • medications such as steroids, lithium, antiepileptics, and iodides
  • conditions that influence an increase in androgen levels such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia, polycystic ovarian syndrome, or in some cases, pregnancy
  • ultraviolet light in some cases will help clear acne due to its drying effect, but in most cases it is irritating to the follicles and exacerbates breakouts
  • donning headbands, masks, glasses, back packs, purses, under-wire bras, or anything that creates friction on the skin
