What is acne and how does it affect us

Acne

In its scientific description it is also known as common acne o acne vulgaris (acne vulgaris), is a chronic diseaseinflammatory full leather which involves pilosebaceous units (hair follicle y sebaceous glands), characterized by the formation of comedones, papules, pustules, nodules y scars, which appear mainly on the face and upper part of the trunk.

In a simpler way, acne are sebaceous glands that connect with the pores in the skin which produce a greasy substance called sebum. These pores are responsible for transporting dead skin cells to the surface. For which the hair is also housed, sometimes it can join with the sebum of the skin causing a plug in the pore. Creating swelling by the bacteria lodged in it   

When the plug begins to fall apart, a pimple (pimple) forms. Most of these pimples are found on the face, neck, back, chest and shoulders. Usually, it can leave scars.

According to the specialists of the subject, anyone can have acne, but it is more common in adolescents and young adults. Also accompanied by changes in hormonal levels during puberty, before the menstrual period of women, or when starting or finishing using a contraceptive method can also cause acne breakouts. It is indicated by doctors to avoid pinching the pimples to reduce the risk of scarring.

Psychological impact

The consequences of living with acne 

Although we all know that in this life there is more than appearances, those with acne may feel disadvantaged in a society that seems to place increasing emphasis on appearances. This manifests with more emphasis in our society as well as in our social environment.

Both adolescent and adult acne can lead to a loss of self-esteem, and sometimes even an inferiority complex. There are studies that indicate that people who suffer from acne are more likely to suffer from depression, anxiety and social phobias than people who do not suffer from acne, manifesting itself more strongly in people of the female sex. Although in general both sexes can be affected causing behavioral changes in many of these people.

Some of these changes are mentioned below:   

•  Avoid eye contact with other people
•  They end up falling shy
•  They hide behind scarves, hats and long hair, and sometimes too much makeup
•  They wear makeup at night as they are ashamed that their spouse sees the true state of their skin
•  They stop exercising or going out with others to do sports
•  They refuse to appear in photos
•  Avoid social relationships

  Use the right skin care products

! Be careful with makeup to hide acne!
Tinted creams and strips help you hide blackheads and pimples. This can be a real advantage for your self-esteem. Although we can refer that the makeup also clogs the pores and can sometimes get worse, favoring the obtaining of infections and the appearance of more pimples on the skin.

 Be sure to choose products that are acomedógenos (that is to say, that do not obstruct the pores) and, much better, that also have a positive effect on the skin. (Clara Luna cream)  it will help them to remove the grains,  sun spots, freckles, washcloth, marks and acne scars, as well as hydrates, whiten and soften the complexion, creating a more youthful appearance at the end of the treatment. I think this product is very good not for its versatility, but for its effectiveness, it also offers incredible changes in short periods, that is, from the first week.

 Take care
Did you know that stress can cause skin eruptions and in particular acne, as well as foods high in fat, we can also highlight the use of tobacco, lack of exercise, and exercising inadequate facial and body hygiene.
