Acne: Its Spiritual Meaning, Causes & More!
Acne is a very common skin condition that mostly causes pimples on the face, forehead, chest, shoulders, and upper back.
Acne is a common skin condition that happens when hair, sebum (an oily substance), bacteria, and dead skin cells block the pores of your skin. Blackheads, whiteheads, nodules, and other types of pimples are caused by these blockages. Know that you’re not the only one with acne. It’s the most common skin problem that people have. Acne affects most people at some point in their lives. It’s estimated that 80% of people ages 11 to 30 will have at least a mild case.
Physical Causes
Acne is mostly caused by hormones called androgens, which usually start to work when a person is in their teens or early 20s. Acne can be caused by sensitivity to these hormones, as well as bacteria on the skin’s surface and fatty acids in the oil glands.
Some things can cause acne or make it worse, such as:
- Changes in a woman’s hormone levels around the time of her period.
- Pollution in the air and some kinds of weather, especially high humidity.
- Using oily or greasy personal care products, like heavy lotions, creams, hair pomades, and waxes, or working in a place where grease is always around, can make your skin break out (such as working at a restaurant where there are greasy food surfaces and frying oil).
- Stress can also make acne worse because it makes the hormone cortisol rise.
- A few medicines.
- Genetics.
If your acne is not caused by any of the medical problems listed above, it could be an emotional or spiritual problem.

Emotional And Spiritual Reason for Acne
Acne is a way to set ourselves apart from other people so that they won’t look at us too closely. People with low self-esteem are more likely to have this skin problem. They don’t like themselves and don’t know how to love themselves. Their souls are usually very sensitive and shy.
Teenagers often get acne because they are hard on themselves and expect too much of themselves. Instead of having to hide from people, their skin problem turns people away.
Teenagers who are trying hard to please one or both of their parents can also have trouble with acne. They have trouble accepting themselves because they are still figuring out who they are.
Spiritual Cure For Teen Acne
If you’re a teenager with acne, take some time to think about how you feel about yourself. Find out what attitude keeps you from being who you really are and lets your individuality shine through.
Perhaps you think you should be like your same-sex parent, or you are so against the way they think that you do everything you can to be the opposite. You’re not being yourself, though. What do people think of you? Do they see you the same way you see yourself?
Spiritual Reason And Cure For Acne As Adult
If you have acne as an adult, think back to your teen years and try to figure out what affected you emotionally in a way that hasn’t gone away. If you still have acne as an adult, you must change how you see yourself.
If you get acne as an adult, it might be because you have been able, up until now, to push down old hurts from when you were a teenager. This is especially true for psychological injuries that change who you are as a person. Find out what happened just before the acne started that made you remember being a teenager. Keep that in mind.
Your body is using acne to help you overcome the hurt that has been building up inside you for years. You can’t hide them anymore, and it takes a lot of effort to hide the pain of an emotional wound.
Your body is telling you to love and accept yourself, to see your inner beauty. It’s letting out the negative thoughts you’ve been hiding for years.

Meditation for Acne
Put your feet flat on the ground and breathe in deeply. Imagine blowing out a mirror image of yourself. What do you like about the way you look? Are there things about your body that you like? Make a list of those in your head. Are there things about your personality that make you stand out? What are the things about you that people compliment the most? Think about those for a minute.
If it’s hard for you to think of things you like about yourself as an adult, try picturing yourself as a child. Look this child in the eyes and tell them you love them.
