What is the reason for repeated closed comedones on the face?

In life, we all know that closed comedones are different from pimples on the face. They mostly appear in patches. When you squeeze them with your hands, you can see white linear secretions. Under the light or sunlight, you can see obvious roughness and unevenness. When we suffer from closed comedones, the harm it causes is very serious. At this time, we need to choose some effective acne removal products. So what is the reason for repeated closed comedones on the face?

If you are not sure whether you have closed comedones, Xiaozhu will teach you a very simple way to identify them, which is to check yourself in the mirror:

1. Are your forehead, cheeks, and chin uneven and have some small pimples?

2. These small bumps do not look red, painful or itchy. Only by touching them with your hands can you feel that they are protruding white bumps;

3. Small pimples are particularly difficult to disappear after they grow;

If you have all three of the above problems, then 90% of the time it is closed comedones (of course, it is possible that some skin diseases may also have this reaction)

How do closed comedones form?

In fact, closed comedones are caused by old dead skin cells and oil clogging the pores, which prevents sebum from being excreted smoothly and forms protrusions on the skin surface. Closed comedones are slow-growing, they will slowly grow and develop, no matter how anxious you are. This makes people feel helpless, especially for people with dry skin whose metabolism is slow. Once closed comedones appear, it is extremely difficult to eliminate them.

Vitamin deficiency in the body is also related to closed mouth

In fact, closed comedones are not only related to the skin, but also closely related to the body. When the body lacks vitamin B and vitamin A, the growth rate of new skin cells slows down, and the metabolism is very slow. Without new cells to replace aging cells, it is easy for waste keratin to remain and become clogged. This is more common in people who usually eat out and picky eaters, because the body tends to be weakly acidic.

There is too much male hormone. Many girls think that it is impossible for me to have male hormone as a woman. In fact, there are three major sex hormones in women, namely, male hormone, female hormone and progesterone hormone, which regulate our skin lubrication, hair growth, and fertility. If the male hormone increases, the skin will easily become rough, prone to acne and pimples, and even the hair will become heavier and thicker (the skin of many pregnant women becomes worse during pregnancy, and the elderly will say it is a boy. Although it is not 100%, it is not unreasonable). The increase of male hormone is also closely related to stress.

There are several reasons for the formation of closed comedones:

1. If your closed comedones are concentrated at your hairline and you usually wear makeup, then 90% of the time it is caused by not removing makeup properly.

2. If your closed comedones are concentrated in the T-zone and chin, which are frequently oily, it is very likely caused by a thick stratum corneum and excessive oil secretion.

3. If your closed comedones are all over your face, including your cheeks which don’t produce oil very much, then you should consider whether it is due to your diet, your mood, or because you don’t pay attention to hydration.

4. If a closed comedone that is normal suddenly appears and recurs repeatedly, consider whether it is an endocrine disorder or hormonal abnormality.

The following bad habits can also lead to the formation of closed comedones

1. Incomplete makeup removal

Many girls think that they don’t need to remove makeup if they don’t wear makeup, but this is actually not a recommended practice. Because of various pollution in the air and the isolation cream and sunscreen applied daily, if they are not cleaned well, the skin will easily develop closed comedones. Therefore, even if you don’t wear makeup, you still need to remove it, and the choice of products, techniques, and strength are all important. Especially for the fragile areas of the eyes and lips, you must be more careful when cleaning and take special care. If you use the wrong method, it may ruin your skin.

2. Excessive makeup removal

Compared with girls who are unwilling to remove makeup, excessive makeup removal is more likely to damage the skin barrier and cause acne. Because they want to remove blackheads, many girls will massage their faces with makeup remover oil for 5 minutes. In fact, it is enough for makeup remover products to remain on the face for about one minute. When using, spread it in circles on the face, but it must not be used as a massage oil!

3. Touch your face with your hands

Studies have shown that people touch their face an average of 3.6 times per hour, and your hands have touched so many germy things before, such as mobile phones, door handles, shoelaces, etc.! Although there is no dirt on the hands, there are bacteria. These bacteria are transferred from the hands to the face, which can easily cause the skin pores to become clogged and form acne or pimples.

In addition to the habit of touching your face with your hands, there is another thing you should pay more attention to, that is whether you clean your powder puffs and makeup brushes regularly. There will be residual powder, dust, and old dead skin cells left on the makeup props;

Therefore, clean it at least once a week. If you don't do these basic management well, you won't be able to create flawless skin even if you use expensive skin care products.
