Many acne suddenly appear on the face, which is worrying. So why does the big aunt have acne before and after?
Why does big aunt meet before and after explode blain?
1. Oestrogen hyperactivity
Female friends in the period from ovulation to menstruation, the content of androgen or the ratio of androgen and estrogen is relatively high, resulting in the increase of sebaceous gland activity, so it is easy to cause acne.
2. Blocked hair follicle
It has been found that the lipid composition of the skin surface before menstruation is significantly different from that of other periods. The sebaceous duct of hair follicle is the smallest on the 15th to 20th day of menstrual cycle (before menstruation), and the sebaceous secretion is easily blocked, which results in the aggravation of acne before menstruation.
3. Decreased secretion of luteinizing hormone and egg cell hormone
One week before menstruation, the secretion of luteinizing hormone and egg cell hormone decreased, the physical and mental conditions began to be unstable, the skin was prone to allergies, also became rough, the oil secretion increased, and acne prone.
4. Zinc deficiency
According to the research, the causes of premenstrual acne are related to age (18-28 years old), oily skin, stool (such as constipation), season (such as summer), eating spicy fried food, mental tension, lack of sleep, gastrointestinal dysfunction and other factors. A study has shown that women without acne have significantly higher levels of zinc than women with acne, which blocks the growth of an enzyme that can cause skin inflammation and infection. In addition, zinc can reduce the secretion of skin oil and reduce the chance of skin infection.
How to deal with acne before and after menstruation
1. Oil control and moisturizing
Especially in the week before the physiological period comes, we should pay special attention to cleaning and maintenance. We can strengthen the oil control for the T-shaped parts that are easy to get oil out, and slightly moisturize the cheeks. In order to prevent dryness and reduce the stimulation of alkaline lotion on the skin, it is better to choose oily enough facial cleanser, and focus on the T-shaped part with more oil, so as to thoroughly remove the keratinocytes on the surface of the skin and the dirt in the deep of the hair follicle. If you feel the skin is dry, you can spray the skin with moisturizing water sooner or later after cleansing. In the physiological period, you can use the moisturizing mask for two consecutive days before going to bed every night, so as to keep the skin moist and moisten and prevent dryness.
2. Keep sleeping don't stay up late
Stay up late during the physiological period, will affect the endocrine level due to lack of sleep, more likely to induce acne. It's enough to sleep for 6-7 hours at ordinary times, but it's better to sleep for 8 hours every day in this period, and pay attention to cold prevention and warmth, so that the body is always in a warm and comfortable state, which is conducive to the normal blood circulation and maintain the estrogen level in the body.
3. Don't worry about getting rid of acne
During the physiological phase, even if you have few pimples, you may develop several pimples due to the change of hormone secretion. Generally speaking, acne in menstruation will gradually disappear with the end of menstruation, so you don't need to worry too much, and don't bear the pain to over squeeze the acne, so the skin's self-healing ability during this period is poor, and it is likely to leave a scar that is difficult to remove. It is advisable to add tea tree essential oil, salicylic acid and other disinfectants to accelerate the first aid of acne shedding ingredients. If the area of inflammation is large and the number is large, you have to ask a dermatologist for treatment.
4. Soothing the liver and regulating qi to keep the mood happy
The change of estrogen secretion in the body in the early period of menstruation will also affect the change of mood, feeling lost, sad and prone to lose temper, which is thought by traditional Chinese medicine to be caused by "stagnation of liver qi". If you are accompanied by emotional instability, thymus distention and pain at the same time in your physiological period, it is recommended that you do some liver and Qi regulation. For example, doing some outdoor aerobic exercise can effectively relieve the mood. Massage the line between the big toe and the two toes and Taichong Point on the instep before going to bed every day, which can play the role of clearing the liver fire. In addition, the traditional Chinese medicine "Xiaoyao Pill" is taken half a month before the onset of menstruation to improve the syndrome of menstruation, soothe the liver, clear the heat, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and prevent acne and pockmarks caused by excessive liver and stomach fire.
5. Intake of blood tonic food
