And here we go again for a trip to the land of small pimples and other springtime imperfections that ruin our lives. Grrrrrr… We could do without it, we agree.
But for some of you, acne is more than temporary. Blackheads, papules, comedones, microcysts are a difficult daily life to bear. How to live well with your acne in a world of photoshopped complexions with the perfect illusion?
We assure you: this is not inevitable and your skin deserves the best. How to fight against excess sebum and get rid of acne ? Combination to oily skin, Saeve comes to your aid.
1/ Why an excess of sebum?
Sebum is an oily secretion produced by the sebaceous glands to ensure its permeability and suppleness . Thank you skin for this natural protection!
To reach the surface of the skin, the sebum takes the seborrhoeic ducts. And that's where it gets tricky. Either the sebum is too oily or it is produced in too large quantities. This is called hyperseborrhoea . The canals are clogged and patrata…
Sebum can be modified by hormonal influence . This is why we can notice a proliferation of pimples during menstruation, pregnancy, menopause and for certain hormonal dysfunctions.
Nutrition also plays a role in modifying the nature of sebum and the pH of the skin. The consumption of alcohol and drugs also interfere in this process.
Finally, stress and fatigue are extremely favorable to the proliferation of skin imperfections, especially bacterial ones. Sebum and skin are subject to the presence of cortisol and become inflammatory in its presence.
2/ How to limit the causes of excess sebum?
- avoid the sun
We must warn you about the sun at this time. Don't run away from the light, get oxygen, but protect your face and upper back from the sun's rays .
Indeed, the skin changes considerably on contact with it. It thickens naturally to protect itself. This compresses the excretion ducts which can cause pimples to appear. Excess sweating can also have an impact.
So put on your diva hats, ladies.
- Adopt a healthy diet
As we mentioned above, the sebum can become fatter and thicker. All foods that are sources of fats and sugars should be considered: cheeses and dairy products, morning cereals, white and refined flours for pasta and pizzas, processed fats for industrial cakes.
We are rather fans of moderation at Saeve. But if your skin is really bad, eliminating it completely over a period of time can really help you quickly .
So to get rid of acne, favor fruits, vegetables, whole grains and sources of zinc such as oats, seafood, nuts and brewer's yeast.
The ancestral Mediterranean diet is a very good alternative, a source of guaranteed taste pleasures!
- Consult specialists
Getting rid of acne can be challenging, if the symptoms are persistent, if the pimples are painful, if the skin is extremely red and uncomfortable, we advise you to consult a dermatologist so that they can determine the exact nature of your imbalance to help you get rid of your acne.
It may also be important to use the skills of a gynecologist and a naturopath to help you in your approach. Either way, don't give up. There is always a solution !
3/ Act effectively against excess sebum
- Be kind to your skin
Please, to get rid of acne, don't strip with ScotchBrite®. Respect your skin, it is not your enemy. It tells you an imbalance.
When you have oily skin, it is indeed shiny. But the more you rub to eradicate the problem, the more your skin will produce sebum to ensure its skin protection. It's a vicious circle. It tires the skin and can create additional lesions by force.
