Is acne hereditary?

Acne is a skin disease caused by endocrine disorders. Although it will not cause too much impact on people's health, it will bring serious blow to their image, causing damage to their image, etc. Acne usually begins to grow during adolescence, and in some people it will continue to grow into adulthood. The causes of acne are very complicated. For example, is acne entirely hereditary?

Modern medical research shows that genetics has a great influence on susceptibility to acne, and the consistency of acne in identical twins also proves the correctness of this theory.

Acne is related to genetics, but the specific inheritance method and what controls it are not yet clear. It may be due to multiple factors, such as increased sebum production, abnormal flora, excessive keratinization of sebaceous glands, etc. Many studies have confirmed that identical twins have the same sebum secretion rate, while non-identical twins have different sebum secretion rates, which supports that the sebum secretion rate is genetically controlled; the severity of acne in identical and non-identical twins is different, indicating that the development of acne lesions is also affected by environmental factors. Genetic factors also affect the clinical type, lesion distribution and duration of acne.

Although the genetic laws of acne have not been thoroughly studied yet, according to the analysis of existing data, acne is not only related to genetics, but can be said to be greatly influenced by genetics.

Alleviate the damage caused by acne to our skin.

1. Insist on using facial soap or cleanser specially designed for acne-prone skin. It does not contain soap or alcohol and will not irritate acne.

2. Do not over-cleanse your skin. Because excessive cleaning will stimulate cells to secrete more oil, forming a vicious cycle.

3. Makeup removal and cleansing must be done separately, because only oil-containing makeup removers can completely remove oily cosmetics.

4. Use a special sponge to help wash your face to make oily skin refreshed. Rub the cleanser in the palm of your hand to create foam, then use a sponge to increase the foam; gently brush the sponge from the neck, around the mouth, chin, cheeks, nose bridge, etc., finally rinse off the foam with warm water, and pat your face with cold water.
