Acne – a lingering, inflammatory skin condition resulting in whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, cysts, and nodules. The skin condition may scar the skin depending on the severity of the acne.
In women, it gets converted into estrogen, though there may be genetic or environmental factors that aids in their production.
In men high testosterone levels cause the oil (sebaceous) glands under the skin to enlarge. The enlarged gland produces more sebum. Excessive sebum can break down cellular walls in the pores, causing bacteria to grow and the skin gets inflamed thus giving birth to the ACNE.
The Causes For Acne Break-outs On Our Skin:
>Some medicines that contain androgen and lithium
>Greasy cosmetics
>Hormonal changes
>Emotional stress
>Menstruation
Acne may not be totally preventable but you can control & clear up your skin by following these tips:
· Wash your face twice a day with warm water and mild soap specialized mainly for acne.
· Never scrub the skin or burst the pimples, as this may push the infection further down, causing the acne or pimple to worsen and spread out.
· Avoid touching your face.
· Wash hands frequently, especially before applying lotions or creams.
· Clean spectacles regularly as they collect sebum and skin residue.
· Allow your skin to breathe by wearing loose clothing if you have acne on the back, shoulders, or chest.
· Choose makeup for sensitive skin and avoid oil-based products.
· Use an electric shaver or sharp safety razors when shaving.
· Try to stay cool & dry in hot and humid climates.
