Climate and Acne

acne-and-humid-weather

A few patterns have been noticed in the growth of acne according to the climate and season. Acne seems to boost up during hot and humid weather. This is due to the fact that during this time the outer layer of the skin swells up and produces extra pressure on the pore wall. This causes it to break down and hence leading to an increase in acne. Therefore you must avoid exposing our skin to too much humidity.
Also, avoid giving your skin steam treatments more than often. People believe that it is good for skin but too much of it can cause an upsurge in your acne problem.
Another pattern that dermatologists believe they have noticed is that the number of acne patients increases during the fall season. This is due to an increase in the testosterone levels of people during fall. There is nothing much that one can do about it but next time you get acne during fall you can know the reason. It occurs because of the change in the length of the day during this time of the year.
Sunlight is also your biggest enemy when it comes down to acne. The UV rays of the sun can damage your skin like nothing else. When your skin is exposed to the sun the oil production increases causing your skin to suffer. Although it is advised that lying in the sun kills the bacteria and thus helps curing acne this is not true at all. UV rays can damage your skin making it even worse than acne.
