Acne is skin condition also called Acne Vulgaris. Acne has many psychological effects, whether it appears in puberty or later on. In many cases, dealing with acne can cause low self-esteem and confidence since it affects people\u2019s looks. There are a few factors in the development of acne that you should know about in order to better deal with it. What should you do and avoid when having acne?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, it\u2019s important to understand that acne is influenced by several factors simultaneously. At the base of the acne is an increase secretion of the sebum from the sebaceous gland in the skin, mostly influenced by hormonal changes. In addition, a deficit in the keratinization processes (creation and rejuvenation of the skin cells) leads to a build up of dead skin cells, that along with the excess sebum cause the pores to clog. This creates comedones, or as they\u2019re commonly known \u201cblackheads\u201d or \u201cwhiteheads\u201d. The difference between the two is simple, if the blockage occurred close to the skin surface, the sebum comes in contact with the air, oxidizes and turns black. If the blockage occurred deeper, the sebum doesn\u2019t come in contact with the oxygen and the comedones will remain white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Damaging the natural abilities of the skin to drain itself, along with the activity of germs that feed off the sebum \u2013 especially Propionibacterium Acnes \u2013 create a local inflammatory state that is manifested by skin pimples. Acne is defined as a local inflammatory situation of the sebaceous glands and hair follicles. The pimples will mostly appear on the face and sometimes on the back or chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the main factors that influence the sebaceous glands activity are hormones, mainly androgenic hormones. Hormonal changes in both boys and girls influence sebum creation and cause the skin to be oily and thick, which leads to the clogging of the follicles. Hormonal influence is the reason that acne is so common during puberty, as the hormones rage. For women, the skin becomes oilier due to hormones in certain times during the menstruation, which is why they tend to have pimples around the vulva, even in cases that are defined as acne. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When there are \u201cblackheads\u201d and pimples on the skin, it\u2019s very tempting to touch them in front of the mirror, but that\u2019s the biggest mistake you can make. Touching pimples and trying to take out \u201cblackheads\u201d might cause an infection and worsening. Messing with the skin also increases the chance of scaring and boils on the skin, which is why you should avoid it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Choosing cosmetic products that over-dry the skin is a common mistake. Yes, the over-secretion of the sebum on the skin creates an oily skin and is one of the causes that encourage pimples, but it\u2019s important to remember that the sebum has an important role in protecting our skin and over-drying only makes it worse, as opposed to our logic. Rinsing your face too much, using soaps or drying products and not using moisturizers will all lead to the skin overcompensating and producing even more sebum. Maintaining proper hygiene and the right external treatment is an essential part of treating pimples, but you should do it by consulting a certified professional such as a cosmetician in order to receive the right kind of guidance for the right treatment and products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are cosmetic products, such as various creams, sun lotions, primers and make up products that contain \u2018comedogenic\u2019 components, meaning components that clog the pores or disrupt the natural process of dead cells rejuvenation. You should use products that state \u2018non-comedogenic\u2019 on them or simply ask for a personalization of the cosmetic products by a cosmetician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stress might make many health issues worse, even when it comes to the skin. When we get stressed, our cortisol hormone is elevated, which among other things causes hyperactivity of the sebaceous glands. Stress can cause acne outbreaks or worsening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Research has been conducted throughout the years, checking the link between nutrition and acne. The results are inconclusive, probably since there are a number of influential factors working simultaneously and it\u2019s hard to isolate just one without relating to the others. However, there are foods that relate to the frequency and severity of acne and surprisingly (or not) they are teenagers\u2019 favorite foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sugars<\/strong> \u2013 there seems to be a link between pure carbs and acne. Sugar effects inflammation and over-consumption will make it worse. Simple carbs to avoid are white and brown sugar, sweets, baked goods and white flour bread, white rice, sweet drinks and processed foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dairy products<\/strong> \u2013 some of the research done on the matter found a link between consuming milk and dairy products to a higher frequency of acne. The link probably stems from the different hormones found in dairy products, but might also have to do with other milk components. Since cows are milked while pregnant, milk contains higher levels of hormones than it did in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fats<\/strong> \u2013 typical western nutrition contains too much Omega 6, a fatty acid that encourages inflammation. At the same time, most of us consume too little of the anti-inflammatory Omega 3. The two factors create an imbalance that effects conditions in the body that include inflammation, even in the skin. In case of acne, you should avoid fried foods, roasted nuts and processed snacks that contain a high level of Omega 6, oxidized fat and trans-fat and consume healthier fats, such as olive oil and foods rich in Omega 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After having realized there are different factors involved, the question is what can we do to best deal with it? The good news is that we have control over some of the factors. Improving our nutritional habits, decreasing stress and a proper treatment of the skin are the basis of dealing with acne. Another way is combining herbs, vitamins and minerals important for the skin. Here are some tips to get you started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Acne is common during puberty, but might also appear later on.
