3 unexpected habits that can cause pimples and even acne
We all do them, often completely unconsciously.
The appearance of acne or tiny breakouts and pimples now affects nearly 90% of young women aged 23-45, regardless of skin type, making adult acne one of the most common skin issues plaguing many people. As the term "adult acne" makes clear, the issue is not so much about age, but more about external factors and hormonal reasons that can occur at any stage of a person's life.
But apart from poor diet, smoking, exposure to polluting environments and solar radiation, factors that are primary causes of acne, there are some habits that can intensify, even create the problem. In fact, these are small movements that we all repeat and do even unconsciously many times. And we are not only talking about insufficient hygiene or cleaning, which many neglect in their daily lives.

The main ones are:
#1. Using too many products (or poor quality/wrong skincare)
And by this we mean the very frequent phenomenon of wearing creams that either do not suit our needs and skin type, or were recommended by a friend without necessarily suiting us, or are a poor quality cream or serum that harms the skin. In addition, an equally common phenomenon is the layering of products that has become very fashionable since the quarantine and after, making many women want to try several creams together, one after the other. The result is that their skin becomes heavy and the pores become clogged. A wrong choice of cream for our face has exactly the same effect:an extremely oily and creamy cream on an oily skin is almost certain to cause breakouts.
#2. You don't change pillowcases often
It may sound innocent, but if you sleep for days (or worse, for weeks) with the same pillowcases, you're bound to get pimples. The dirt and bacteria that accumulate from the air and our hair in its fabric are kept there and transferred to your face as you sleep. Change them every two to three days - once a week at the latest.
#3. Sun and sweat
Sun exposure, especially without sunscreen, can trigger acne breakouts. The same applies to the sweat that your body can produce on a very hot day, at the gym or even while walking under the hot sun. Bacteria created by the growth of high temperatures are kept on the skin and also clog the pores. The problem is intensified if you touch your face with your hands, since you carry additional germs and pollutants.
