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.
