8 Things Causing Your Sudden Breakouts

 
You’re minding your own business, living your best life, when suddenly they appear:
 
BREAKOUTS.
 
Whyyy?
 
It’s the worst, but don’t panic! Averr Aglow has the answers to help clear up those sudden, week-ruining breakouts!
 
1: Hormonal Imbalance
 
Your hormones will fluctuate sometimes. It’s natural!
 
But hormones impact your skin oil, and hormonal imbalance can lead to crazy oil excess.
 
Suddenly you’re super shiny, and your pores start clogging right and left. Soon you’re facing a full-fledged breakout!
 
Fight back with oil-balancing products like our Clear Skin Elixir. It infuses your skin with coral and French pink clay, helping reduce hormonal breakouts and even out your complexion!
 
2: Diet
 
You are what you eat, and you may be eating acne-triggering foods like:
 
  • Refined sugar: Sugar makes your insulin levels spike, triggering oil production and skin cell growth. The oil and skin cells stick together, and here come the clogged pores!
  • Simple carbohydrates: Carbs like white bread and pasta digest like sugars. So you end up with more insulin, more oil, more skin cells, and more breakouts!
  • Dairy: Cows’ milk contains hormones that can imbalance your system and increase IGF-1, a hormone known to trigger acne.
3: Stress
 
Stress causing breakouts? Sad but true! Stress triggers the release of hormones that increase oiliness, speed up skin cell production, and activate inflammation.
 
Plus, stress is bad for your immune system, weakening your body’s ability to fight bacteria.
 
For a calming de-stress moment, try our Clarifying Hydration Dew. Natural ingredients like rosewater and cucumber help soothe, hydrate, and reduce inflammation.
 
It’s the perfect mental and physical refresh!
 
4: Harsh Skincare Ingredients
 
Not all products are created equal. Some skincare can make your breakouts worse, not better!
 
  • Surfactants: Dry out your skin and send it into oil-producing panic-mode.
  • Occlusives: Too greasy for oily, acne-prone complexions. Smother your skin and create a cozy airless environment for bacteria.
  • Endocrine Disruptors: Mess with your hormone balance and kick off breakouts.
  • Artificial Fragrances: Full of hidden chemicals and preservatives. Interfere with your hormones, contribute to breakouts, and even cause rashes.
 
Spoiler alert: you won’t find any of these bad boys in Averr Aglow products!
 
5: Skincare Allergies
 
Your face is particularly sensitive to allergic reactions, so be extra choosy with facial skincare!
 
Allergies are unique to each person, but you can begin with products that don’t contain common troublemakers. For example, natural skincare like Averr Aglow is much less likely to cause a reaction.
 
6: Tanning
 
Too much light from the sun (or tanning beds) dries out your skin, and your skin fights back by pumping out oil faster than ever!
 
You know what happens next. Oil + skin cells = clogged pores. Breakouts, here we come!
 
To make matters worse, sunlight can cause dark spots and scarring as your blemishes heal.
 
7: Tap Water
 
Tap water can include damaging chemicals and contaminants. Plus, it can mess with the natural acidity of your skin, disrupting defenses and leaving your complexion vulnerable.
 
Experts recommend toner for pH problems, and our Luminous Complexion Toner is a perfect choice. Bursting with immune-boosting kakadu plum and regenerative comfrey, it helps restore your skin’s balance and clarity.
 
8: Acne Mechanica
 
Acne mechanica flare-ups are caused by friction, heat, and pressure against your skin. Common culprits include sports gear, tight clothing, backpacks, or other types of equipment.
 
To help prevent body breakouts, use a gentle exfoliant like our Rejuvenating Essence Body Polish. It's infused with volcanic ash and antioxidant-rich lingonberry to freshen and detoxify your skin.
 
It may take time to find your breakout triggers, but with quality skincare and a little determination, you can finally say farewell to acne and hello to clearer skin! <3

I'm Going To Share My Personal Story Of 16 Years Battling Acne
And How This Unique Formula Finally Helped Me Win
(And Helped 73,521 + Women Do The Same)

I looked over at my mom. A tear ran down my cheek. “This is ridiculous,” I said to her, throwing my hands in the air:

“I’m almost 30 years old and I have the skin of a sweaty teenage boy who hasn’t showered in a week.”

 
I Was Looking For Any Sign Of Change
 
I walked over to the mirror and studied the very red and very irritated bumps on my face one more time. I squinted and thought to myself, I think I see a difference.
 
I was excited; I had just started using a new cream that others swore by, that had been praised up and down on the forums. Maybe this was finally it, the holy grail of creams, the one I had been waiting for.
 
Weeks went by, and optimism gradually faded to fear, then disgust, and finally, anger. My newfound cream was a dud, added to the pile of half-used tubes hiding in the back of my drawer. So many questions filled my mind, each one more puzzling than the last.
 
“Why can’t I figure this out?”
 
I had been battling acne on and off (but mostly on) for 16 years. I had been to the moon and back trying to fix my skin and was desperate for something, anything, to work.
 
I had heard every name in the book –– from “pizza face” to “Rudolph.
At 13, I rode my bike to the local drugstore to buy makeup and zit cream.
 
I would lather my face with Clean and Clear products hoping that, by some miracle, they would whisk my puffy whiteheads away. Just like that, I’d be able to forget about this whole pimple problem.
 
And they did make me forget about my zits. Because I had a new problem.
 

The flakes and dusty layers of skin I developed made me look like a prime candidate for a Head & Shoulders commercial.

Back down to the drugstore I went. One by one, I purchased every variety of cream, gel, pad, strip, and wipe in the skincare aisle. And, one by one, they each created some new and troublesome skin problem.
 
Each time I shopped, I was more and more drawn to the makeup section, with its gleaming bottles and colorful promises.
 
Pictures of models smiled out to me, saying that I too could have beautiful, radiant skin, no strings attached – all I needed was foundation and concealer. Who could resist?
 
I happily took my basket to the counter and smiled as I delightedly handed over my hard-earned babysitting money. I slathered and covered and forgot about the ugliness I felt underneath with my Cover Girl cocktail.
 
Ultimately, I’m not sure what was worse: the patches of red from my nose to my chin, or the orange lines along my jaw and hairline from my caked-on Wet ‘n’ Wild concealer.
 
I was a modern-day Oompa Loompa. 🤦‍♀️
 
It could never last.
Getting my mother to take me to the dermatologist was like pulling teeth, but after much whining, she conceded.
 
My new skin routine consisted of a nurse brushing on a tingly, itchy glycolic peel and a prescription for a cream I had heard good things about.
 
Promise filled the air as I happily handed my newly scribbled doctor’s note to the pharmacist at Walgreens.
 
Minutes later, he gave me my package and muttered, “If this doesn’t work for you, there are hundreds more creams you can try. Talk to your dermatologist, and have him write you a new prescription if this one doesn’t do anything in the next few months.”
My eyes glazed over. The promise that had been prancing around minutes earlier was run over by an 80-year-old lady, white-knuckling the steering wheel as she pulled into the pharmacy parking lot.
 
By the time I turned 21, my skin was no better than when I had started at 13. The only things that had changed were my tolerance (lower) and my wallet (slightly improved).
 
As my budget increased for products and possible treatments to try, so did my acne.
 
These painful, horrible red splotches stayed for weeks on end and were worse than any white or blackhead.Just when I thought one was healing, 3 more would pop up in its place.
 
My hands got antsy and I started picking, leaving me with brownish scars, redder cheeks, and no more answers than I had when I started this battle.
 
And to make matters worse, in addition to my rosy complexion, I had small, white bumps on every inch of my skin, making it feel like rough sandpaper. Nothing was helping.
Dreams of clear skin became distant and unlikely… But I wasn’t out of ideas yet.
 
Back to the doctor I went, this time with hopes of a new cure: birth control. So many birth control brands had ads about their fantastic results peppered all over the internet. I was already sold. Besides, at this point, what did I have to lose?
 
The nurse practitioner was happy to give me my prescription, along with a sample of the newest wonder birth control, guaranteed to clear up any acne issues.
 
Not too long after I began taking it, my skin cleared up.
 
I was dumbfounded.
Who knew, all this time, that this was the answer?
 
I happily told others all about my newfound fix­­––until, that is, some uncomfortable new problems started cropping up. Not only did I gain about 10 pounds, but for the first time in my life, I had a yeast infection, which was incredibly gross, irritating, and painful.
 
I found myself yet again at the drugstore for yet another new problem. But a yeast infection can be defeated.
 
One hurdle down, now all I had to do was handle my newly developed spare tire.
 
I still thought the added weight would be my only real problem, when, not a month later, for the first time in my life, I developed a bladder infection.
 
With roughly a case of 100% Pure Cranberry Juice (not your Ocean Spray cocktail, the real stuff that’ll make you say, “Pucker up, buttercup!”), prescription antibiotics, and bladder pain relief pills that turned my pee orange, I worked through the trauma of my latest issue. Fine. Settled.
 
Except that, about two months later, I developed another bladder infection. And then a few months after that, another one. It became a new staple problem I had to deal with every other month. I started to order cranberry pills by the dozens on Amazon.
 
9 bladder infections later, after doing a little extra digging, I found out that my current birth control had a list of side effects a mile long, including the possibility of bladder and yeast infections. This was just one of many possible uncomfortable byproducts of what the pill was doing to my insides.

But, boy, did I have clear skin.

Was this a price I was willing to pay?

I made an appointment with my doctor and told her about my new ongoing issue and my theory that it was associated with my birth control.
 
She refused to consider the birth control as a possible cause, and her solution was to write me a new prescription for an antibiotic that kills bacteria (both good and bad) in the body.
 
I was to take this, indefinitely, along with my birth control.
 
She wouldn’t even write me a different kind of birth control prescription, saying that if there were no other side effects, I should stick to the one I was on.
As I walked out of the building, surrounded by shiny, gleaming posters for the brand of birth control I was taking, I couldn’t help but feel bitter.
 
I started talking to my friends about the birth controls they were on. One was on a pill that made her gain 50 pounds, another was on one that made her feel crazy and empty inside, another was experiencing anger problems so bad that they’d almost ended her marriage, and another friend had actually developed acne when she went on her birth control.
 
Every option came with an unacceptable side effect or compromise.
 
If I was a birth control Goldilocks, no porridge was just right.
 
After my 12th bladder infection, I discontinued use of the birth control. And no, I never had another bladder infection again.
 
When I dropped the birth control, I said goodbye clear skin, hello breakouts. Not only that, but I gained even more weight. My confidence was shrinking down to nothing.
 
I was heart-broken and miserable. I thought the battle was over and I’d lost.
 
By my late 20s, despite all the money I had poured into (well, spread onto) my skin, my acne hadn’t improved at all. If anything, it had migrated, spreading to new locations on my face, lower cheeks, jawline, forehead, and even my shoulders.
 
I was defeated. I was never going to figure this out.
The lines I heard from so many dermatologists and doctors––that “I’ll grow out of it,” that “It really isn’t that bad,” and, my least favorite, “I’ve seen worse,”––infuriated and discouraged me.
 
They had no answers, and I had no patience. This was all getting far too old, and I was getting tired of hearing myself complain.
 
I felt like a wounded soldier in a battle that had been rigged from the start. I wanted to retreat.
 
I mean, I could live in my pajamas, right?
I would be Meals on Wheels’ biggest customer. If Tom Hanks could make friends with a dodgeball, so could I. I worked it all out in my head… until I remembered that I had to go to work if I wanted to keep my apartment, and what’s more, I had a life to live.
 
I had a little fight left in me after all.
 
If countless doctors, pharmaceutical companies, and traditional products couldn’t give me answers, then it was going to have to come down to me.
 
Because NO ONE cared that, in 16 years, I hadn't fixed my issue...
 
And honestly?
 
I was sick of spending money on products that didn’t work. I mean, I spent 16 years trying to find the solution but nothing, NOTHING had worked up to this point without serious side effects...
 
I felt hopeless.
 
But I started researching acne and its causes...
 
And, surprisingly, it has nothing to do with changing your pillowcase or any other BS you've found online by now. Really.
 

Most solutions that exist in the market are

made for one thing and one thing only...

Fighting bad bacteria.
 
But while they're actively trying to get rid of the bad bacteria, they get rid of the good bacteria too!  
 
Let me ask you a question. Have you ever felt a squeaky clean feeling after using a skincare product?

This is DAMAGING to your skin!

What those products are doing is actually causing an imbalance on your skin, which then causes more breakouts. 
 
This realization only pushed me to do more research. It was all starting to come together…
 
Scientific research, books, and consultations with the doctors were all leading me in the same direction.
 
Soon enough, I started experimenting on my own skin with the products I created…
Within a few months, my husband started seeing small improvements on my skin. He encouraged me to keep doing what I’d been doing.
 
Those tiny steps forward encouraged me to study even further until I had it all down to a science…
 
I’ve discovered natural ingredients that we don’t have here in the US, flown to countries like Norway, France, Italy with one goal and one goal only…
 
To make an all-natural formula that would help women around the world heal this terrible condition…
 
The formula that would fight off bad bacteria while promoting good bacteria and balancing oil production on the skin.
 
After seeing my results, my friends started to ask me if I could make products for them too. It got to the point where I was getting hundreds of orders every month, just from my friends…
Fast forward to today: We have over 73,521+ loyal customers that are enjoying their healthy, glowing skin.
 
But what’s more important…
 
They have the confidence to leave their house, go to work & enjoy social events with their friends…
 
It actually works!
 
But don't take my word for it...

Our Fans Are Raving About Averr Aglow

 

Mindy J. verified buyer

"I've been using the Clear Skin Kit for about six months.

I have had acne since my teens, everything I had tried never really worked. Over the last few years, I have had cystic and hormonal acne and had a hard time getting it under control. So, I decided to start using Rodan and Fields. I did 2 rounds of their unblemished regimen and it didn’t help at all. Then, I came across Averr Aglow and decided to give it a try. I’m so glad I did. It has cleared up all my acne and I haven’t had any major breakouts like I had been having, and has helped all my scars lessen.

My before pictures are AFTER the 2 rounds of R&F in January and my after pictures were taken in June after using the Clear Skin Kit."

 

Holli S. verified buyer

"I've been using Averr Aglow for a couple of months now, and I have been floored by the results. I've searched for something - anything that works for my skin. All I've wanted is to go without makeup and feel comfortable in my skin. I've tried everything and it's failed. All-natural products are also of utmost importance and all the natural products I've tried have failed as well.

I've shown everyone I know these pictures and told them all about Averr Aglow. People ask me all the time what I'm using and I gladly tell them. My best friend also hopped on board and is loving her results so far."

 

CRYSTAL M. verified buyer

I've had been struggling with cystic acne, oily skin, and enlarged pores for about 15 years. I've been to the dermatologist and have been prescribed clindamycin for a couple of years. I've tried Proactiv, Murad, retinol, benzoyl peroxide, and so many products with salicylic acid. Everything I have used has had many artificial processed ingredients.

When I looked into Averr Aglow it was so refreshing to see a company actually using all-natural ingredients, I had to try it out. I ended up getting the Clear Skin Kit & within the first week, my skin felt renewed. My pores were smaller, I didn't need to exfoliate as often and my acne had pretty much disappeared. I have been using the kit for 6 months & will continue to use it for the rest of my life, I love that it's good for anti-aging as well. Nothing harsh or artificial, so I feel like it gives me the skin I was supposed to have.

I have very oily skin that easily clogs. It has been a long road finding something that doesn't dry me out or scar my skin. I've tried every product under the sun and avoided taking pictures.

I started to use the Clear Skin Kit, and now I no longer breakout and get the painful, deep red cysts I used to get. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am a loyal customer!  

- Lyndsay

 

I have been using the products for a little over a month. I can't believe I am seeing flatter, clearer skin! Thank-you so much for giving me my confidence back!

- Juli C.

I have been using the kit since early July and I am loving the results! Out of nowhere in January of this year, I started having the worst acne ever. I saw an ad on Instagram just one month before my wedding and decided to go for it. While I wasn't 100% clear for the big day, I was in no more pain and the redness was now something I could correct.

It wasn't until just the last few weeks I looked in the mirror realizing that my troubles seem to be fading away! I will still have one or two baby zits now and then but wow! So 3.5 ish months in i am so happy I saw that ad! Thank you for an amazing product!

- Melissa D.

This product is simply amazing! I have combination skin with an acne-prone chin and, while I'm still in the early stages of "detox", I am loving how it works. It's easy to use and as old blemishes get brought to the skin, they are gone as quick as they came! The overnight mask is GOLD!
