Did You Know That Friction Causes Acne?

There are many things that can cause acne. And I've just explained to you one of them already. Which is cause by the oil sebum. But there are other things that can give you acne too. And friction just happends to be one of them.

With friction I mean the friction between for example tight clothes or straps and your skin. Let's say you're wearing a helmet because you're going biking, and the helmet sits very tight and the straps grind on your face as you get sweatier and sweatier. And when you're done biking and you take off the helmet you can see the marks from the straps since you wrapped the helmet so tightly around your head. Now this is something to avoid because you will most likely be getting some new breakouts in the area where your straps were.

This can also happen on other parts of the body and not just the face so be careful if you don't want tons of new back acne too!
