Did you know that urban life is an aggravating factor for acne?

Our fast-paced urban lives are subject to stress and pollution, which are harmful to acne. Although the mechanisms have not yet been identified, these factors have been scientifically proven to influence the severity of acne.

.

WHAT IS ACNE ?

Acne is a disease of the skin and in particular of the pilosebaceous follicle.

The pilosebaceous follicle is a set, made up of the hair and the sebaceous gland, crossing the different layers of the skin.

The sebaceous gland produces sebum (oily substance protecting the skin from external aggressions) which flows to the surface of the skin via a channel.

ACNE IN 3 STEPS

1

Hyperseborrhea
.

Acne Dermina

It is a massive secretion of sebum which makes the skin oily, the complexion dull and the pores enlarged.

.

2

Hyperkeratinization
.

Acne Dermina

The follicle becomes blocked and causes poor evacuation of sebum . Whiteheads (closed comedones) and blackheads (open comedones) appear.

This is called retentional acne .

P.acnes profiling

The P.acnes bacteria grows abundantly by feeding on excess sebum and releases irritating substances thus causing inflammation . This is when red spots (papules), spots with white heads (pustules) and larger, painful red spots (nodules) appear.

This is inflammatory acne .

WHAT ARE THE BASIC RULES ?

To avoid making your acne worse:

Do not use cosmetics that are too aggressive or drying (soap, alcohol, etc.): your skin will compensate for this aggression with excessive sebum production.

Follow the morning and evening skincare routine for better effectiveness.

Do not touch your pimples , you risk spreading the bacteria.

Avoid clogging your pores with overly suffocating makeup . Favor non-comedogenic makeup.

Protect your skin from the sun , it may seem beneficial in the short term but it is a false friend.
