The appearance of acne on the face causes many problems. This may include psychological discomfort and physical pain in the area of inflammation. The reason for their appearance can be quite serious, such as hormonal imbalance or disruption of the functioning of internal organs.
Why do acne appear on the face?
Features of facial care for acne
The main reason for the formation of acne is clogging of pores due to excess sebum production. When the sebaceous gland produces a lot of secretion, it does not have time to reach the surface of the skin. A plug is formed, strengthened by dead particles of the epidermis. Often an infection penetrates into such a clogged pore and inflammation develops. This is how acne forms.
Types of acne
Acne has its own classification, depending on the location and degree of inflammation:
- Comedo. In other words, a blackhead. This is the initial stage of acne formation. Comedones can be open (the sebaceous plug is located at the top of the pore and is not covered by thin particles of skin) and closed (the plug is located in the middle of the pore and does not reach the surface of the skin).
- Papule. This kind of formation is usually called a pimple. An infection penetrates into the clogged pore and the inflammatory process begins.
- Pustule. The next stage of inflammation. Contains pus that forms a white bump on the skin.
- Cystic acne. This is a large cluster of pustules connected by passages. They are located deep in the epidermis. Pain syndrome appears.
- Lightning acne. The most severe form. It is incurable without medical intervention. Pus begins to penetrate into the muscles.
When pimples appear on the bridge of the nose between the eyebrows, it is important to treat them correctly. For washing, it is better to use products for oily skin. They will reduce sebum production and will not make the skin dry.
The next stage is toning. The face should be wiped with a tonic containing fruit acids and zinc. A moisturizer for oily skin serves this purpose. It is not recommended to do deep peeling at home. For such a procedure, it is better to go to a beauty salon.
If white pustular pimples have formed between the eyebrows, then after cleansing the skin you need to lubricate them with an iodine solution. In two to three days the inflammation will go away. These recommendations apply to both women and men with teenagers.
Blackheads on the nose can be removed by simply cleansing the skin.
Expert advice
Do not use cosmetics with a thick texture
For problem skin, you should not use cosmetics with a thick texture. The fat base settles in the mouths of the sebaceous glands, creating plugs. Instead of a rich foundation, you should give preference to a fluid, BB or CC cream.
Drying agents should also be used with caution. The alcohol base severely dehydrates the skin, which increases the risk of infection and inflammation.
To disguise acne in the eyebrow area, it is better to use concealer. Eyebrow care items (tweezers, brush, brush, eyebrow pencil) should be thoroughly cleaned.
