Want to get rid of your imperfections ? Acne is one of the main problems encountered by people regardless of their skin tone. We've all been there before. Fortunately, there are effective solutions to combat this problem. We reveal some tips for finding blemish-free skin .
Understanding the origins of acne
Acne affects most adolescents. It is a dermatological condition that can present in two forms: a moderate form or a severe form . This phenomenon manifests itself around the age of 17 and can last up to 30 years in people with black to dark skin. Besides adolescents, acne also affects adults. It is due to inflammation of the pilosebaceous follicle and develops in three stages:
- Overproduction of sebum;
- Formation of retentional lesions;
- Proliferation of the Propionibacterium acnes bacteria.
Pimples and lesions appear particularly on the back, face, chest and neck. Some lesions can leave indelible scars . As black to dark skin is particularly reactive and sensitive, a simple pimple can lead to the appearance of hyperpigmentation spots . Acne can be caused by many factors:
- Sun exposure ;
- Friction due to clothing;
- Use of occlusive or oily cosmetics;
- Taking hormonal medications;
- Stress.
Often, this phenomenon is caused by hormonal imbalance. In case of persistent acne, consult your gynecologist to carry out a hormonal assessment.
