What Your Acne Is Trying To Tell You
One of the biggest foes shared by adults and teenagers alike is acne and for good reason. It creeps up on you when you least expect it, like when you have a job interview the next morning, or when you have a wedding party to attend. You surely wouldn’t prefer showing up to public events with a big ugly zit on your face, so you try your best to cover it up with foundation, concealer, and whatnot, which in turn leads to the multiplication of your pimples later on. It’s therefore justified that we hate it right? But could it be that your stubborn, capricious acne is trying to tell you something? We can’t answer this on our own, so let’s take this question to science, shall we?
Acne On Your Hairline
This type of acne has to do with your hair care. They’re mainly caused by an oily ingredient, pomade, found in your hair products. Their main function is to retain the natural oil in our hair follicles so that your hair doesn’t dry out. What they do to your scalp is much less helpful, however. They block your pores, allowing oil to accumulate in your skin, building up to a pimple.
If you find yourself constantly spotting zits around your hairline, a good idea would be to stop using pomade-based products. Another option is to keep your face clean regularly or wash it soon after the application of the hair product. You could also use a clarifying shampoo, or find yourself products that don’t cause clogging.
Cheek Acne
What you’re about to read now might make you a little squeamish, so brace yourself. You can find the same species of bacteria in your feces wiggling around on your phone, so when you keep your phone pressed against your cheek for long periods during phone calls, that very fecal bacteria spread onto your cheeks. And it’s no secret what bad bacteria can do to a person right? If you don’t know just ask Wilbur Wright, who died because of the bacteria Salmonella Typhi. Perhaps you should consider yourself lucky, your bacterial infection is just giving you a bunch of obstinate pimples on your face.
Other modes through which bacteria get transferred to your face are through your dirty, unsanitized hands and unwashed pillows.
So what’re the takeaway kids? Maintain a hygienic life. Clean your phone regularly with disinfectant wipes, keep your hands neat and avoid touching your face constantly, and change your pillow covers at least once every weak.
Jawline Acne
This is usually because of your precarious hormones. Your body’s endocrine system is a tad out of order and is releasing a surplus of androgens, which activate your oil glands in additional amounts and clog pores. There are many reasons for this surge in androgens: your menstrual cycle could have started, or you recently started or changed birth control medications, or even because of an imbalance of nutrients in your diet.
Maintaining your microbiome, or the environment in your gut properly is crucial to having clear skin. Foods high in carbohydrates, sugars, and dairy, and that are processed have a huge negative impact on your skin. You could try to eat healthier and find out what works for your body. Not only will you get clearer skin, but you’ll also feel rejuvenated on the whole. You’ll find yourself having more energy and being up for more tasks than you used to be.
Acne In the T-Zone
Your T-zone refers to your forehead and nose area, and pimples in these areas are usually caused by stress and a disturbed sleep cycle. Try maintaining a relaxed state of mind, and getting the right amount of uninterrupted sleep every night. Yoga and meditation could help with that, and not only will they clear out your skin, but they’ll also give you a more inspired outlook on life. Other activities you can add to that are cardio exercises and walking, which boost endorphin levels.
The products that you can apply to your face include face washes with salicylic acid in them,oil-free face creams, or even home remedies such as crushed neem.
If changing your lifestyle habits like those listed above doesn’t help, you can always visit a local dermatologist who’ll sit down with you and map out a plan to fight your acne. Every skin type is different, so what fits one might not suit another, and in fact, might even worsen it. So make sure to listen to your body (and your dermatologist), and even though it’ll take a while, soon you’ll be ready to step out into the world confidently without feeling insecure about some pointless spots on your face. One more thing we’d like to add is that your acne doesn’t define you, and if for some reason it decides to stay, you shouldn’t let it cripple your confidence. You’re beautiful, and don’t let any staring passerby tell you otherwise.
