Causes of acne
Excessive oil: the source of adult acne is the growth of cells in hair follicles, which leads to excessive oil secretion, blocked pore outlet, white head and acne. Thickening of the cortex also enlarges hair follicles, encourages the growth of bacteria, stimulates inflammation of nearby tissues, and causes red and swollen acne.
High pressure: when adults are under too much pressure, the adrenal glands will secrete pressure resistant corticosterone, which acts like androgens, disrupting skin metabolism and making hair follicles particularly prone to oil production. Irritability will also reduce skin resistance and produce more oil secretion. It is a normal physiological phenomenon to have 1-2 acne in front of menstruation.

Ten ways to prevent acne
Many people think that acne is very common, so they ignore treatment, leaving permanent scars. In fact, this can be prevented, because there are many effective drugs that can cure acne, so I would like to advise you that “the disease is shallower than the disease”.
1. Bask in the sun
Regular exposure to sunlight will make the secretion of sweat glands and sebaceous glands active, block pores, and accelerate inflammation. It is advisable to wear a hat.
2. Eat iodine containing food
Foods with heavy iodine content (such as laver) should be avoided and eaten less during the acne outbreak period.
3. Swimming
Disinfectants and bacteria in the swimming pool will irritate the skin. Avoid swimming when you have acne.
4. Drinking
Alcohol turns the blood into weak acidity, which indirectly causes acne problems. Drinking alcohol in patients will accelerate blood circulation and trigger acne.
5. Massage
Massage promotes blood circulation, and inflamed acne will worsen, so it is not easy to massage people with acne!
