Acne is a skin disorder where sebaceous glands become overactive and an excess of sebum, a waxy lipid necessary for healthy skin, is produced. The excess sebum my lead to non-inflammatory acne called comedones or inflammatory acne called pustules, papules or nodules. The primary factors causing acne are poor diet, inadequate rest and a stressful lifestyle. This can lead to poor digestion, poor circulation, and inadequate lymphatic drainage. Poorly nourished skin with excessive cellular metabolic waste accumulation in the skin may ultimately lead to acne. Other factors leading to acne are genetic factors, hormones, topical applications including cosmetics and environmental toxins.
