Moved to the general acne discussion forum

• Are you eating more dairy, sugar, soy, or caffeine than you did at home?
• Is your sleep schedule more irregular?
• Do you have more stress?
• Are you more sexually active and/or physically active?

Most college students do...all are triggers for acne.

being physically active is a trigger for acne? what?

Yes i am eating more dairy since im trying to get buffer so im drinking a lot of protein shakes. My sleeping patterns are bad as well but idk about stress. And i am physically active not sexually tho. Wait is this acne tho?

being physically active is a trigger for acne? what?

Not moderate physical activity, but intense physical activity or a lot of weight lifting, yeah. Look up "DHT" and "weight lifting".

DHT is a particularly potent type of testosterone, and one of the main hormonal culprits that causes acne.

And then of course the whey protein or soy protein shakes have been linked to acne for ages.
