2. Genetics
Your family history can influence your likelihood of developing acne. If close relatives experience persistent or severe breakouts, you may be more susceptible as well.
3. Skincare and hair products
Heavy or pore-clogging products may contribute to breakouts in some people. Look for products labeled non-comedogenic and avoid introducing several new products at once.
4. Friction and pressure
Tight chin straps, helmets, phone contact, and repeated rubbing can irritate the skin and contribute to acne-like breakouts.
Some medications can trigger or worsen acne. If your breakouts begin after starting a medication, consult your healthcare professional rather than stopping it on your own.
