Acne Prone Pictures

Someone who is acne prone usually has a genetic predisposition to develop acne. These people display one of two traits. Either he or she either produces an abnormally large amount of sebum, or sheds dead skin cells at a rate well above the normal level.

A person who's sebaceous glands produce a large amount of sebum has excess oil on his or her face will develop face acne. Bacteria tends to grow and reproduce in the oil. Because the body realizes that bacteria should not be on or in facial skin, it sends white blood cells to attack the bacteria which can result in an acne flare-up. This is why people who produce large amounts of sebum are acne prone.

People who shed skin at an abnormally high rate are also acne prone. The reason is that the dead skin cells mix with any oil on the face which produces a build-up of dead skin cells which clogs skin pores. Clogged skin pores create another location where bacteria can thrive. The sebaceous gland continues to produce oil which causes the pore to swell. The swollen skin becomes an acne pimple.

Contrary to popular belief, eating chocolate does not cause acne. Further, eating greasy foods does not cause or exacerbate acne. Eliminating chocolate and greasy foods from you diet will not help with preventing or controlling acne.

While clean skin and good acne skin care help to prevent acne, they do not always guarantee a perfect results. A person with clean and healthy skin may still have occasional acne flare-ups. However, recovery usually takes place quickly, especially if the person's diet is also rich in Vitamin A. If nothing seems to work, one may have to look for other known acne solutions.

The biochemical process used for form epithelial cells relies on the presence of Vitamin A in the body. An antioxidant, Vitamin A is also known as retinoic acid. Since the skin cells on the outer layer of skin are epithelial cells, a diet rich in Vitamin A can help your skin look healthy and acne free.
