Why You Should Not Care About Different Types of Acne

July 3, 2019 by Anjali Lobo Leave a Comment

different types of acne

If you suffer from acne, I’m sure you’ve come across articles with titles like “The Different Types of Acne”. Or maybe some version of them. I always read articles with titles like this with a little bit of annoyance. Why the annoyance you might wonder. It’s because these articles never had any cure for any of the types of acne they listed.

People with acne have very little interest in the type of acne they have. We need a cure or what we can do about acne. I know I have acne. I don’t know about you but never have I wondered what type of acne it is, but what I am mainly reading the article for is a hope of a cure mentioned somewhere.

The Best Oils for Acne Prone Skin

best oils for acne prone skin

About 10 years back I would have seriously laughed at an article like this one. Best oils for acne-prone skin indeed! But life changed and times changed and so did my views on skincare.

My views on skincare did change really drastically. And I used the word drastic as most of the things I believed were good for skin, I now believe are really bad for the skin. For example, I thought that benzoyl peroxide was good for my acne. Today I won’t bring it anywhere near my skin even if I have a really bad breakout. And I urge you to do the same as well.

Is It Harmful to Use Makeup To Cover Acne?

March 17, 2019 by Anjali Lobo 2 Comments

makeup to cover acne

Makeup is generally the saving grace for anyone who has acne, acne scars or blemishes. Using a foundation gives you the confidence to feel good and look good. Makeup effectively smoothes out your skin tone making blemishes and acne scars less visible or it might even be able to hide them completely. As good as this sounds though, using makeup to cover acne might be preventing you from having clear skin. Makeup is not the cause of acne and neither does it make acne worse. But there are some times it might be bad for your skin. In this post, I’m going to tell you when it is actually harmful to use makeup to cover acne.

Let’s get one thing clear first. Makeup does not cause acne. If you have mild acne you can safely use makeup. If you have one or two pimples on your face, you can safely use makeup. However having said that, please remember that whichever it is, whether you have acne or if your skin is clear, always use good quality makeup that is not old or out of date. Skin care is not the place to be stingy.

How Sebum Helps Keep Your Skin Healthy

February 24, 2019 by Anjali Lobo 2 Comments

sebum

Sebum or oil is generally demonised and made out to be the bad guy when you have acne. People give you advice on how to wash your face multiple times a day so that you can wash off the oil. There are face washes and moisturisers and foundations all with labels that say oil-free. These are targeted at people who have acne. If you have acne you are told to stay away from any hint of oil in your skin care.

What is Sebum

Sebum is an oily substance produced by your skin’s sebaceous or oil glands. Sebum in Latin means fat. It is made up of triglycerides, wax esters, squalene, and free fatty acids. Testosterone stimulates the production of sebum while estrogen inhibits it. Source

How Many Sebaceous Glands Do You Have

You have sebaceous glands all over your body, except the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet. The number of sebaceous glands in your face, scalp, chest, upper back and shoulders are more in number than anywhere else on your body. You can have as many as 400-900 glands per square cm of your face. The gland is either attached to a hair follicle or found on its own. Source 

This is the reason why you are more likely to get acne on your face than anywhere else on your body. You just have more sebaceous glands on your face, than anywhere else. Remember those Chinese Face Maps that tell you that acne on a certain part of your face must be linked to your liver? Those are all made up. The simple reason that you get acne on your face is because of the number of sebaceous glands on your face.
