GOOD HABITS TO GET INTO TO FIGHT AGAINST ACNE?

Acne is a skin problem that many people experience in their lifetime. In this article, Skineance presents the factors that cause acne and the possible treatments for it. We will also give you some good tips on how to deal with acne on a daily basis.

80% of the population has skin that is acne-prone and impure. This manifests itself in different manners and in different forms: light, moderate, or advanced acne. Whatever the stage of acne, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist in order to avoid having the problem worsen over time.

How Do You Prevent Advanced Acne?

Analyzing the symptoms and understanding them is the best thing you can do to be able to anticipate advanced acne and be able to act in the right way about it. Each case is different. Each person has his or her own symptoms and own type of skin. Before choosing a medical or non-medical treatment, it is necessary to find the source of the problem.

What Factors Promote Acne?

Hormones

Hormones, called androgens, speed up the sebaceous glands, which produce more sebum than is necessary (known as seborrhea). Seborrhea can stop the normal shedding of dead skin cells, and generally occurs during puberty. While it produces too much sebum, the skin does not get rid of dead skin cells. The accumulation of material in a hair follicle can cause it to swell and lead to the appearance of a white dot, or, if it is open and close to the surface, a black dot. Skin impurities are generally found on the face, the shoulders, the chest, and the back, because these are the areas of skin that produce the most sebum.This problem can occur because of hormonal changes caused by pregnancy, menstruation, or imbalances such as Stein-Leventhal syndrome.

Bacteria

Excessive secretion of sebum forms an ideal environment for the proliferation of (harmless) bacteria that live on the skin. This can cause irritation or inflammation of the sebaceous glands.

Genetics

If both parents had acne in their adolescence, their child will also have it. It is scientifically proven that genetics play an important role in this dermatosis.

What Treatments Should You use for Acne?

There are four main methods of fighting against skin that is impure and acne-prone:

• Reduction of the production of sebum which will help control seborrhea
• Acceleration of the removal of dead skin cells, which will help prevent hyperkeratosis
• Fighting against bacterial infections caused by microbial colonization
• Eventual reduction of inflammation, which will contribute to the lessening of pimples, papules, and pustules

Good Habits for the Skin

• Treat your skin gently.
• Adopt a daily care routine for your face using a gentle soap with a neutral Ph.
• Don't touch pimples on your skin, and take care not to pop them.
• Nourish your skin with the help of a moisturizing cream, or a serum.
• Take off your makeup before you go to bed. Choose a non-comedogenic product for this.

Following these tips will give your skin a radiant complexion.

Good Daily Habits

The radiance of your complexion also depends on your lifestyle.

• Do sports. This will help you clear your head and get rid of certain emotions that could cause hormonal changes. In addition, perspiring can help wash out toxins.
• Avoid tobacco and alcohol. These are two enemies of your skin.
• Prioritize eating fruits and vegetables. A healthy and balanced portion is a good way to keep your skin healthy.
• Don't expose yourself to too much sun or to ultraviolet light from tanning salons. In the summer, don't go to the beach without sunscreen and moisturizing cream.
• Stay calm and avoid stress. If you have a tendency to get worked up, try yoga or meditation.

All of these things, if you pay attention to them daily, will pay off
