Let’s get the facts straight, what really causes acne? Here is what you need to know from my bridal makeup San Antonio experience.


First of all, one big myth to get off the table is that eating chocolate does not cause acne. Many people feel that eating greasy foods that are bad for you will cause acne, but that is definitely not the case. Acne is caused by dead skin cells that stick together on the complexion and mix with oil to clog pores, creating acne lesions.

Acne is caused by stress (which can often trigger people to eat chocolate and fatty foods), as well as using steroids or applying cheap facial products. The important thing to take into consideration is what type of skin care products you are regularly using, making sure that they have beneficial ingredients that won’t harm your complexion. Beware of skin care products that contain cheap filler ingredients that can clog pores and create new acne lesions!
