Pimples have a habit of appearing at the worst times. They appear when you least expect and can ruin your self esteem. However, the sooner you know the causes of pimples, the sooner you will be able to prevent an outbreak. The following are some of the common causes of pimples:
1. Touching your face too much can lead to an outbreak of pimples. This is because when we touch our face, there is no guarantee that our hands will be clean all the time. We might have touched dirty surfaces somewhere or shaken hands with someone who has dirty hands. The dirt from our hands causes the pores on our skin to clog and break out in pimples.
2. Consumption of junk foods also causes our skin to break out in pimples. This is because the foods cause the insulin level in your blood stream to rise thus causing a hormonal imbalance. This is one of the reasons that pimples break out as a result of eating junk foods. Foods that contain a lot of vegetable oil, saturated fats and plenty of sugar should therefore be avoided.
3. Oily skin is also another cause of pimples. Skin that is oily tends to clog pores. One mistake that people make with oily skin is washing it too much with harsh soaps. This only causes the skin to produce more oil and consequently clogging the pores. Glycerin soaps or sorbitol are the best for washing this kind of skin. It should also be well moisturized with lotions or creams that do not have an oily base.
These are just some of the basic causes of pimples. Pimples can appear not only on your face but also on your back, chest and butt. Avoid scratching on the pimples because this can cause them to spread to the rest of your face and body.
