Acnes
Knowing more about acne,Let's aim for beautiful skin!Types and causes of acne,Here's how to effectively care for your skin every day!
When the keratin around the pores thickens, it narrows the pores, preventing sebum from being properly excreted, resulting in small white bumps.
After a whitehead, sebum cannot be properly expelled from the pores, and the accumulated sebum comes into contact with the outside air, attracting dirt and oxidizing, resulting in a darkened appearance.
This condition occurs when pores become blocked, allowing bacteria (such as acne bacteria) to multiply and cause inflammation.At this time, a red, raised area will appear on the skin. Since it is inflamed, accompanied by pain and redness, do not squeeze or touch it with your fingers.
After a red pimple appears, if various bacteria multiply further, it can develop into a condition where pus forms.
Various types of dirt that adhere to the skin mix with sebum secreted from the pores, causing them to become clogged.This is a major cause of acne.
Constipation can cause acne, right?One reason for this is that digested food remains in the intestines for a long time, generating toxic substances. If these toxic substances are not excreted and are absorbed from the intestines and carried to the skin, acne will worsen.To improve bowel movements, it's important to maintain a regular lifestyle, get moderate exercise, and eat plenty of milk, fruit, and vegetables.
Hormones play a major role in sebum secretion. When this hormonal balance is disrupted, it can lead to a condition where acne is more likely to develop.For women, acne is more likely to occur in the two weeks before menstruation due to hormonal changes.
Stress and irritability caused by excessive tension, fatigue, and insomnia can disrupt hormone balance, leading to increased sebaceous gland activity and making you more prone to acne.
An unbalanced diet, such as excessive consumption of greasy foods and sweets, can cause acne. Vitamins are especially important.Vitamin A moisturizes and firms the skin. B vitamins activate lipid metabolism and help maintain proper sebum secretion. Vitamins C and E help suppress the oxidation of sebum.Try to eat a balanced diet.
It is said that exposure to ultraviolet rays can cause sebum and other substances to oxidize and generate reactive oxygen species, which can worsen acne inflammation.Protecting your skin from ultraviolet rays is very important for preventing acne.
