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.

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.

The Dangers Of Sugar

the dangers of sugar

Ever since I started my blog and told people about the possible link between diet, particularly sugar and dairy, and acne, I have got a lot of push back. I have got comments like “People have been eating sugar for hundreds of years. How is it suddenly a problem?”. Then I have also got one sarcastic comment. It was that since I blame food for everything, I should just stop eating.

My blog is not about diet and not eating sugar or any other food. My blog is for people with acne and tips and ways to resolve it. If the diet helps resolve acne, I am going to write about it. I am not forcing anyone to quit eating anything. All I am doing is helping people with acne who are desperate for a solution. All my information is available freely on my blog. People are free to read it or go elsewhere.

How To Clear Your Skin With Diet

how to clear your skin

I’ve been hard at work for the past few months working on my first product. Yay!! I’m very very excited about this. I started this blog in January 2016 to help women like me, who suffer from acne.

Since then I’ve had hundreds of people email me and I’m thrilled to say I’ve helped a lot of people. The reason I started with the intention it was only for women was because as a woman myself, I seriously thought my methods would work only for women. But I’ve had men as well who email me and who’ve got results from the tips I give them. So extra happy to have both men and women reading my blog and getting results.

I did get a lot of hateful comments from men who said I was being sexist. Please note that these men did not have acne. They just made the hateful comments. The men who had acne just emailed me and asked straight up for help.
