Does coffee cause acne?

That Coffee stimulates is well known but does it cause acne, is ambiguous .We shall review some related aspects for fact finding. Coffee contains, caffeine;

an alkaloid which is a class of chemicals known as a stimulant. There are no two opinions about that caffeine stimulates the central nervous system giving you an energetic feel of wakefulness and wellness. The active ingredient of coffee is caffeine that is responsible for effects of coffee on skin.

How caffeine stimulates? 

Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system with consequent acceleration of most of the body functions. Production of harmonies is a routine activity which is enhanced by using coffee on account of the contained active ingredient; caffeine. Hormones regulate the production of sebum; the oil for hairs but increased harmonies, increase the production of this oil too.

Sebum with accumulated  extraneous matter, dead cell fragments and bio load, plugs the hair follicles and causes acne. Coffee consumption on account of the consequent increased production of harmonies and then sebum is responsible to cause acne.

Does caffeine cause acne?

Coffee dries the skin which needs more than usual sebum to keep it moist. This demand is met with increased production of sebum which aggravates acne condition. To make up the loss of water and to wet dry skin, people tend to top up the reduced level with more coffee.

Dry skin is the consequence of coffee consumption which is repeated to top up for moistening and in this way a vicious circle is set up which favours acne proliferation.

How not to cause acne while consuming coffee? 

Some clinical aestheticians strongly recommend ample consumption of water as corrective and preventive measure. Water is transpired through purpose made pores in human skin. These pores are connected with sweat glands and should not be confused with hair follicles through which the hair emerge.

Since both the sweat glands and hair follicle are situated in immediate vicinity of one another, their exudates; perspiration and sebum have the tendency to intermingle. Furthermore an addition of degenerated skin cells and pus cells containing extraneous matter make the clogging material.

Disambiguation 

There has been some ambiguity regarding the role of coffee consumption in causing acne.

There is however no controversy regarding that the active ingredient of coffee is caffeine which is an alkaloid, known for stimulating central nervous system.

There are also no two opinions about that coffee stimulates to produce excessive quantity of sebum which is further prompted to cope with the resultant dry skin. Coffee is also known to cause problems like constipation. It can be therefore inferred that coffee causes acne because:

• It dries skin, demanding more of sebum by the sebaceous glands of hair follicles 
•  Its active ingredient, caffeine accelerates hormonal production 
• Coffee has adverse effect on digestive system causing accumulation of toxic residues. 
• Abstinence from consumption of coffee has shown improvement. 
• Coffee causes sleep disorders that indirectly turn people less careful towards skin care.
