Acne is devastating. It makes life uncomfortable. Your skin
looks rough, reddish, and painful sometimes. My acne started in high school and
some of my friends experienced it as well. It feels so bad to the point that
you get low self-esteem. I put the advice from experts into action and it’s
been helpful. I want to share why the acne is not going away.
You have used creams, cleansers, facial scrubs, soaps, and
taken antibiotics but it keeps coming back. You have probably sought different
ways on how to treat acne and pimples. You even cause more harm to the skin when you
regularly wipe it with water or cleanser. You clear some good bacteria and oils
that protect the skin. Do you know why stubborn acne is not ready to vanish? I
guess you are eager to cut it off from your life.
According to experts, most acne medications only tackle the
tip of the iceberg and do not solve the problem. You need to understand the
cause of a problem to be able to solve it.

One major cause of acne is high levels of androgens.
Androgen is a hormone in the body and it is commonly found in males but females
have it as well. There is a spike of androgens when your body has high insulin
levels which are caused by a high intake of carbohydrates or sugar. Snack is
one common source of sugar and consuming it often can provide a conducive
environment for acne. Androgen at its peak enlarges the sweat glands,
over-produce sebum or oils, and creates more dead skin cells. These dead skin
cells clog pores in your skin, get infected and then form blackheads and
whiteheads on your skin.

Dr. Berg recommends a low-carb diet that normalizes insulin
in your body. Also, androgens can be reduced when stress is lessened. Again, do
not pop pimples to prevent scars and dark spots. Now, start killing your acne
from the root. Good luck with your acne treatment.
