Beauty is a concern for both men and women, and men nowadays are also paying a lot of attention to their skin and face. However, the marks left by acne are indeed very difficult to eliminate. So, what can be done? Let me first explain the reasons for the appearance of acne.
Reasons for Acne on Men's Faces
1. Excessive stomach heat
Most men like to stay up late playing games or staying up all night for entertainment. They also enjoy eating barbecue, smoking, drinking, etc. Such lifestyle habits can lead to an accumulation of stomach heat and toxins in the body, causing acne to appear on the face. It is necessary to eat more foods that reduce internal heat and detoxify the liver.
2. Skin cleansing
The outermost layer of the skin is the skin's stratum corneum, and its metabolic cycle is approximately 28 days. If the stratum corneum does not undergo normal metabolism and becomes thick, the sebaceous glands cannot function properly, leading to the formation of acne on the face. Not paying attention to hand hygiene or neglecting skin hygiene can also result in bacterial invasion and the growth of acne.
3. Chronic lack of sleep
Long-term lack of sleep can disrupt the skin's metabolism, and the physical chaos can cause many acne to appear on the face, mostly on the forehead.
4. Puberty
During puberty, boys' acne is caused by excessive sebum secretion from the skin's sebaceous glands, which can easily block the pores. The accumulation of oil, sweat, dust, etc. in the pores can lead to invasion, redness, inflammation, and eventually the formation of abscesses.
5. Medication
Some medications themselves contain toxic and irritating components. If taken for a long time, toxins can accumulate in the skin tissue, worsening the condition of acne. Examples include medications containing bromides, iodides, etc., which can catalyze the occurrence of acne and exacerbate the symptoms of acne on the face.
Skincare Measures
1. Strengthen moisturizing:
Drink plenty of water every day, which helps eliminate some impurities in the body. When choosing moisturizing skincare products, focus on selecting products that contain ingredients like tea tree oil. These products can help replenish skin moisture while controlling excessive oil production, regulating the skin's oil-water balance.
2. Maintain cleanliness
The T-zone of men's skin is more prone to oiliness and acne. Therefore, it is important to use masks or scrubs specifically for the T-zone on a regular basis. This can help remove excess impurities from the skin, control oil production, restore the smoothness of the T-zone, and reduce blackheads and acne.
3. Avoid spicy foods
Acne is mainly caused by endocrine factors and is directly related to puberty. It can also be caused by inflammatory infections, such as folliculitis or acne. Preventing inflammatory infections is beneficial for recovery. Avoid eating spicy foods to prevent internal heat. If the situation does not improve, it is best to seek medical examination and treatment.
4. Quit smoking and drinking
Quit smoking and drinking, or only drink during social occasions. Cigarettes contain a large amount of nicotine and tar, which can greatly irritate the skin, accelerate the oxidation reaction in the body, and make a person appear older. Drinking alcohol regularly can also have a stimulating effect on the skin.
5. Physical exercise
Allocate some time each week for physical exercise. Regular exercise improves cardiovascular function and enhances physical fitness. Sweating profusely helps eliminate toxins from the body, promotes metabolic activity, and keeps the skin healthy, reducing the likelihood of acne.
Try to eat less fatty and greasy foods, as well as high-calorie foods. Avoid eating spicy and hot foods because they can stimulate the nerves and blood vessels, easily causing acne to recur. Also, avoid consuming stimulating substances such as coffee and dog meat.
