Why does acne develop or get worse than before?

Acne develops or gets worse because of an increasing level of hormones in your body or if you start breaking it out. Hormones like progesterone determine your oil glands to produce more oil, which means more acne.

Another important reason is the continuing changes in hydration in your body. The lack of the amount of necessary water makes the hormone secretions remain undiluted and they will not pass through the body so quickly.
