What's Happening Inside Your Skin (Root Causes)
The in ammation cascade occurs as follows:
-
1Pores Clogged (from Stage 1 congestion)
-
2Bacteria Overgrowth (C. acnes thrives in blocked pores)
-
3Immune Response (Your body ghts the bacteria)
-
4In ammatory Molecules Released (Cause redness + swelling)
-
5Visible Pimples (Red bumps with or without pus)
Key Causes:
- Cutibacterium acnes (bacteria) colonization
- Impaired skin barrier (lets bacteria penetrate)
- Hormonal uctuations (increase sebum + immune sensitivity)
- Stress (triggers in ammatory response)
- Diet (dairy, sugar worsen in ammation)
- Sleep deprivation (weakens immune function)
