Maintain a perfect and clean look: how stress affects acne and spots.

 Physical characteristics are like a jigsaw pieces that make up each person’s appearance, the appearance itself is a conglomeration of our skin and hair colour, height, nose, eye and head shape most of these features we inherit.  One feature we did not inherit is acne, very obvious feature of most faces nowadays.

Acne is a skin ailment that affects the skin’s oil glands, the small holes in your skin (pores) connect to the oil glands. These glands make an oily substance called sebium. The pores connect to oil glands through a canal called follicle, the follicle is a passage between the skin and the oil gland when it clogs up a pimple grows. Acne is not a serious health threat but it leaves scars. An estimated 80 percent of all people between the ages of 11 and 30 have acne outbreaks at some point, although some people in their forties and fifties still get acne.
                                                                      
What causes Acne?

 Dermatologist are not completely sure what causes acne, experts believe that the major cause is the increase in Androgen levels which happens when we become adolescent, these androgen hormone causes glands to plug up more often. Also greasy cosmetics and hormonal changes during pregnancy are all known causes. Recently experts posits that there is a strain of acne-causing bacteria living on our skin, but researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine that there are several strains which determines the frequency and severity of developing pimples. Also dairy products according to a new study published in the journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Deitics.

How does stress adds to acne?

  Yes its true stress can affect acne, but how do we connect the dots... For awhile scientist had a tough time validating this theory, but recently different researches have suggested the cell that produces the oily substance (sebum) have receptors for stress hormones. Sebum is a oily substance that mixes with dead skin cells which clogs up the follicle, resulting in acne and pimples. When you are highly stressed, a lot of sebum is produced, causing a lot more acne. It is further proved that hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline can also make acne worse. Experts believe that stress only effects the productions of acne, but is  not directly a cause as researches are still going on to answer that question. In order to eliminate and limit the effect of stress, it is better one should start by improving your self confidence, organize, plan and adequately prepare for task. Also you should occasionally wash your face with clean water and try not to squeeze out pimples. Show your brave side and let your hard work do the talking. Stress free is equal to acne free.

What Causes Menstrual Pains?

Having menstrual pain is no fun, when it starts the moaning and the sighs become a normal trend. Almost all women experience discomfort at the time of their periods for most, this does not interfere with their daily activities. However, for some ladies the monthly period are dreaded, it is painful, problematic and in some cases it is incapacitating, it can interfere with their lives because of the inconvenience it causes.

It is agreed that menstrual pain is a normal part of womanhood, gosh! That really hurts. But do you know why it happens?

THE CYCLE

Before you can understand menstrual pain, you must first comprehend a little bit about the menstrual cycle.  According to Dr. Tokunbo Akinsanya a Gynecologist, the typical menstrual cycle is between 28-30 days, it is a natural process that happens every month as the body gets ready for pregnancy. At the beginning of each cycle the uterus develops a somewhat soft lining more like a fence made of soft blood-rich tissues in preparation for an egg that will be released from the ovary. If fertilized the egg will develop into a baby, often times this fertilization does not occur the blood-rich lining of the womb is shed, as it is no longer useful. This shedding is what we call period, or menstruation.

So why the cramps?

“MENSTRUAL cramps are periodic abdominal and pelvic pains experienced by women”

During the time that the lining of the womb is being shed you might experience some cramping pain in the lower part of the stomach, your lower back and at the top of your leg. Experts have reviewed that the reason for this pain is that the uterus wall is contracting or squeezing to remove the soft blood-rich lining it no longer needs because you are not pregnant. To facilitate this removal the womb secretes a hormonal chemical called PROSTAGLANDINS.  “gibberish right?”  Unfortunately it is this chemical that induces the pain.

According to Dr. Akinsanya he said, “The pains are caused by contractions in the wall of the uterus, these contractions are caused by the release of some hormones produced by the lining of the womb, this hormone produces an interrelated cycle of cramp like pain, and bleeding.”

No one really know why the menstrual pain differs in women, for some women and girls it can be mild, in others it is stronger than moderate, experts have suggested that this may be as a result of over secretion of prostaglandins which causes the womb to contract more harder reducing the blood flow to the womb and causing more pain.

So now you know menstrual pain is perfectly natural to womanhood. What’s more important is how to manage it. For more information on how to manage menstrual pain visit our website for tips
