Acne which is the skin disorder caused due to excessive oil secretions on the skin by the oil glands can be caused due to combination of factors which altogether leads to inflammation on the skin. But most of the people suffering still don’t know much about the exact reason for acne. Many still believe the outdated myths and hence are unable to provide exact treatment for their disorder. Acne which is often a nightmare for most of the teens is highly common for about 90% of them. It can also affect the teens psychologically depriving their self esteem and self confidence.
The major cause behind the teen acne is the excess production of the hormone androgen in the body with puberty which in turn can raise the sebum production. The sebum together with dead cells and dirt clumps together and block the pores forming plug. The plug then traps the oil and bacterium p acnes within the follicles and begins swelling. The action of bacteria within the swellings cause body to attack against it by producing white blood cells thereby leading to the formation of pimples which are red, swollen and painful usually shedding of dead cells also gets enhanced with puberty and can speed up the process.
Another major cause was recently discovered by group of Chinese scientists which is the presence of a parasitic worm named human demodex parasite within the hair follicles and sebaceous glands of the skin. These organisms eat away the tissue nutrients and their activities can also give away to allergic reaction leading to inflammation. They are found to be responsible for widening of pores and to many other skin diseases like rosacea, dry skin, psoriasis, eczema etc. Their dead remains, excretions and secretions can also add up with sebum and dirt and block the pores. Only way to prevent their action is using products made from seabuckthorn oil which has the ability to kill these parasites.
Acne can occur because of hereditary factors. Unhealthy eating habits can also give rise to acne. Junk foods made of fat and refined sugars can augment the production of hormone insulin which in turn can raise the production of androgen resulting in acne. Stress is also a factor which can trigger the release of adrenalin that can enhance the production of acne causing hormones. As a basic precautionary measure you must clean your face with an effective mild cleanser at least three times a day. But remember about the fact that excess washing can take off the skins moisture. You can try acne soaps which are made from sea buckthorn oil so that you can ensure your protection against demodex parasite. Such soaps are available from Facedoctor which is a convincing source of herbal products like soap and other cosmetics with seabuckthorn oil as the major ingredient.
