At all times women have paid a lot of attentionyour appearance. Spending hours in front of the mirror, creating your image - this is the favorite pastime of any female representative. And it seems like everything is done: hair, makeup, clothes. But something still does not give you peace. And this is acne, which can not only ruin your mood for several days, but also cause unpleasant and even painful sensations. What is a pimple and where does it come from? This question interests many people. And most importantly, how to get rid of acne on the face? What should you do, how should you eat, and what should you not do? Acne is the result of clogging of the skin by the sebaceous glands. Interacting with oxygen, they form white or black dots in this place. When any infection gets into the clogged place, an inflammatory process begins, which is characterized by the appearance of purulent red wounds, which subsequently burst. The most common place for acne is the face, especially the forehead, the wings of the nose and the chin area. This is explained by the fact that there are significantly more sebaceous glands in these areas, and the closer they are to the surface of the skin, the greater the likelihood of inflammation of these glands. How to get rid of this problem?
It is necessary to determine the cause
There are many different means offight against acne on the face, but before starting treatment, it is important to determine the cause of their appearance, otherwise the treatment may be useless. The causes of acne on the skin can be very diverse. To accurately determine this cause, you need to consult a specialist (dermatologist or cosmetologist), who will prescribe the correct course of treatment for you. So, one of the most common causes of acne is the period of puberty in girls and boys. This is due to the large secretion of sex hormones, as a result of which the activity of the sebaceous glands increases and the pores on the skin are clogged with sebum. Thus, a plug appears, which under the influence of various infections can become inflamed. No less common causes include poor nutrition. Excessive consumption of unhealthy foods can lead to the active appearance of acne on the face. Acne can also be the result of allergic reactions. Spicy food, fatty, floury, excessive sweets, alcoholic drinks, caffeine - All this only contributes to the appearance of acne on the skin of the face and the whole body.
Other causes of acne
The appearance of acne is significantly influenced byworries and frequent stress. Nowadays, it is very difficult to avoid them, because we encounter them constantly. Our body must somehow react to all this, so it secretes even more sebaceous glands during times of stress, which provoke clogging of the pores on the skin, resulting in acne. By the way, no matter how strange it may sound, but sometimes the cause of acne can be the sun. The sun affects everyone in completely different ways. For example, for some, the sun is a way to get rid of acne, because it dries them out and makes the skin smoother, but someone, on the contrary, suffers from the sun, because it has exactly the opposite effect. It is imperative to apply protective creams to the skin of the face and body during periods of solar activity. Even if you do not suffer from acne, a protective cream will prevent dry skin, premature aging and burns on it. Very often, acne on the face appears as a result of improper skin care. Many people forget a very important rule - always wash off makeup before going to bed and cleanse your face. This is necessary to get rid of a large number of microbes, dead skin particles and dust that have accumulated during the day. To prevent the skin from becoming clogged with all these particles, it is imperative to cleanse it, otherwise the skin ducts may become inflamed and acne may appear on the face.
Treatment and disposal of acne in the home
Before talking about methods and techniquesWhen it comes to treating acne, it is worth mentioning the most important rule - never squeeze pimples. Only a cosmetologist can do this, using sterile instruments for squeezing, and even then it is impossible to completely exclude the possibility of infection. By squeezing pimples yourself, you expose yourself to a very high risk and can very easily introduce an infection into the wound. Firstly, a pimple you squeezed out can leave a scar that will "decorate" your face for the rest of your life. Secondly, in place of one squeezed pimple, many other, smaller ones can appear. Thirdly, the worst thing that can happen is blood poisoning, which is very difficult, and sometimes impossible to cure. Nowadays, pharmacies are simply overflowing with various acne remedies. No matter how good the remedy is (and their prices vary widely), it is not able to rid you of acne in a short time. As a rule, it is necessary to conduct complex treatment, which can last for months and even years. Why spend a lot of money if you can get rid of the problem with the help of ordinary means, at home?
