How to stop acne – Acne is a skin change associated with inflammation and discolouration of the sebaceous glands. Eels are more common on the face as well as on the upper back and chest, where the most sebaceous glands are found (so-called sebaceous zones). Lack of skincare may also cause acne.
What does acne look like?
People can have different types of acne and pimples. It depends on the degree of the disease, the severity of the disease, how much the skin was long neglected and the inflammatory processes developed. They can be black dots, red pimples, sickly purple rashes, white eels. In most cases, spills affect the T zone, an area with the highest saline gland activity and maximally expanded pores. It is a forehead, nose, and chin. In the U-zone (cheeks and cheekbones) it is less common.
Top five causes of acne on the face:
- Changes in the hormonal system;
Chronic inflammatory facial acne in the event of a hormonal failure is treated exclusively in-patient or outpatient conditions on the basis of a confirmed diagnosis. The doctor prescribes hormone therapy according to a special scheme, prescribes a diet, and gives recommendations for mechanical cleaning and treatment of affected areas of the epidermis. The treatment of gynecological disorders that have been diagnosed and vitamin therapy is mandatory. All the stages of comprehensive treatment applied together, and under the strict control of a dermatologist and a gynecologist, will allow a woman to get rid of a serious problem and to live with the pure skin of her face.
- Diseases of the GI and thyroid cause acne;
The skin and organs of the gastrointestinal tract are closely related, they have a common origin and perform protective functions in the body, such as the formation of immunity and interaction with microflora. Skin problems can develop as a consequence of dysfunctional digestive organs, as well as accompany gastrointestinal diseases.
Various diseases of the GI resulting in the impaired intake of the necessary substances to the body, with the development of their deficiency, which affects the skin condition. Such disorders can be caused by: celiac, lactate, chronic pancreatitis, liver and gallbladder diseases, atrophic gastritis, infectious and parasitic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. The most frequent cause of skin deterioration is the impaired intake of vitamins and minerals in the intestines.
- Unhealthy lifestyle;
Of course, the condition of the skin depends a lot on nutrition and skincare. However, the abuse of fatty foods, chocolate, or improper skincare is not the root cause of skin problems: they are factors that aggravate skin condition (unless there is an allergic reaction).
Hormone failures, which are caused by a change in diet, frequent stress, sleep deprivation, strongly affect the skin condition. When a hormonal imbalance occurs, ph levels begin to fall, leading to dryness, peeling. Dryness of the skin is caused by the absence of: lipids of the epidermis such as ceramides, fatty acids and cholesterol, which are necessary for the healthy barrier function of the skin, and, of course, the wrong skincare.
- Cosmetics for skincare;
Cosmetics often do more harm to the skin than good. Many cosmetics deprive the skin of moisture, preventing the skin from displacing dead cells and producing collagen. Cosmetics, saturated with chemicals, can increase skin sensitivity and reduce the skin’s natural protective barrier, leading to rashes and redness.
The list of ingredients for skincare to be avoided in cosmetic products is not insignificant. It includes various silicones, acrylates, petrochemicals, alcohols, dyes, flaps, parabens. Any products containing these chemicals should be avoided and preference is given to a more natural alternative to them. Acne cream based on natural ingredients that are less harmful to the skin has become increasingly popular. Some of the most commonly used ingredients in cosmetology that help you deal with imperfections on your skin are retinoids tretinoin and retinol.
- Stress directly affects acne.
After a serious quarrel or during the preparation of a large-scale project, skin condition often deteriorates. Scientists have proven that stressful situations directly affect the occurrence of acne. Stress causes a strong reaction in the body, leading to various inflammations. Adrenal glands give off many hormones known as androgens, which cause acne.
A large amount of hormones activates the production of skin fat, and subsequently, acne appears. If your skin is deteriorating because of stress, cosmetics, and interior treatments can only help you temporarily. It is important to solve the basic problem. For example, changing diet, balancing sleep, walking more, and being less nervous. Under stress, swimming and light exercise are recommended.
How to prevent acne?
Adequate nutrition with sufficient vitamins and minerals is at the heart of prevention. Food is not good or bad, but we recommend you watch your diet and introduce more vegetables, useful fats, and carbohydrates and limit sugar.
For your comprehensive skincare, it is necessary to use acne cream. It consists of tea tree oil, vitamin E, aloe vera, apple cider vinegar, and other organic healthy ingredients that bring purity and beauty to your skin.
Often the scars from the swallows are as disturbing as the acne itself and this cream carefully reduces their appearance.
It removes slightly the top layer of skin cells, as well as the dead skin of the problem area.
Besides the aesthetic part, the cream heals and restores the cells, cleanses the pores, giving the skin glow and smoothness.
Skincare must take into account that pimples cannot be squeezed: it will only drive the bacteria deeper into the pores and a more dangerous infection may develop. Apply an ice cube to the inflammation, apply a drug that contains salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or sulfur.
In the fight against pimples, do not increase the number of washings. The skin requires natural fat to maintain moisture and elasticity, and frequent washing deprives it of this fat, which it will seek to restore by doubling its production. Washing must be done no more than 2 times a day using special means.
