The reason why closed comedones grow on the cheeks

Many people suffer from acne on their face. Acne-prone skin is generally caused by an imbalance of water and oil in the skin, so you should pay attention to hydrating your skin. In addition to pimples, blackheads are also an annoying problem. In particular, many people like to squeeze pimples with their hands, thinking that this will heal faster. In fact, it is not. If you squeeze pimples with your hands, it is easy to transfer the bacteria on your hands to your face, which will do more harm than good to facial acne. If you want to eradicate closed comedones, you need to know the causes of closed comedones. Let’s follow the editor to find out!

1. Why is closed comedones so difficult to cure?

In fact, closed comedones are bumps formed on the skin surface due to old dead skin cells and oil clogging the pores, which prevents sebum from being excreted smoothly. 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.

1. Vitamins:

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 will also be 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.

2. Androgen:

Many girls think that it is impossible for women to have male hormones. In fact, there are three major sex hormones in women, namely, estrogen, testosterone and progesterone, which regulate our skin lubrication, hair growth, and fertility. If the male hormone increases, the skin will easily become rough, have acne, and even the hair will become heavier and thicker. The increase in male hormones is also closely related to stress.

2. Causes of closed comedones

1. If your closed comedones are concentrated on 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 much oil, then you should consider whether it’s due to your diet, your mood, or because you don’t pay attention to hydration.

4. If a closed comedone suddenly appears after everything was normal and it recurs repeatedly, you should consider whether it is an endocrine disorder or hormonal abnormality.

(III) The following bad habits can also cause acne

1. Improper makeup removal

Everyone knows the importance of makeup removal and cleansing, but many girls think that they don’t need to remove makeup if they don’t wear makeup. However, the primer and sunscreen you apply daily can easily cause closed comedones on your skin if you don’t clean them well. So even if you don’t wear makeup, you still need to remove it as long as you apply sunscreen and isolation.

2. Excessive makeup removal

Compared with girls who are unwilling to remove makeup, excessive makeup removal is more likely to cause residue and acne. A girl once said that she was not used to makeup remover oil and developed acne after using it. In fact, it was not the problem of makeup remover oil, but the problem of her use method. Even when she is not removing her makeup, the girl will still massage her face with makeup remover oil for ten minutes because she wants to remove the blackheads. Unexpectedly, the more she removes, the more acne she gets. The editor emphasizes that you should use makeup remover oil to remove makeup until it is clean (use a cotton pad dipped in lotion and wipe it, if there is no foundation, it will be clean). Makeup remover oil must not be used as massage oil!

3. Touch your face with your hands

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

4. Not changing bed sheets for a long time

Even bad habits have come. One-third of a person's life is spent in bed. Every night when sleeping, dandruff, hair oil, body oil, moisture, tears from crying, etc. are all diffused in a closed space... What do you think will happen if you don't change it for a long time? It's like living in a garbage dump.

It is impossible to wash the sheets every day, at least wash them once a month. Changing the sheets is also a change of mood. Prepare a few more pillowcases to ensure that the ones that come into contact with the facial skin are clean. This can avoid the mess of acne problems to the greatest extent...
