Why Am I Suddenly Getting Cystic Acne?

If you are the only one in your circle of friends or family with the breakout, you might be wondering what you are doing wrong. Before you start blaming yourself, start by understanding that this is not your fault. At times the skin will act out, and no amount of bathing or washing the pillowcase can change that fact. So, it is safe to say that the cause of the problem is not dirtiness.

• Excess Oil

Some of the most problematic areas with the breakouts are the forehead, face, shoulders, chest, and the upper back because they have a high level of sebum (oil) production. The hair follicles in these areas are connected to the oil glands.

The purpose of the oil is to ensure it moisturizes the skin; however, it should be excreted in moderation. Excess production of the sebum can cause breakouts, and if you do not manage to control it, it could lead to foul smell-Ewww. The best way to ensure you handle the problem is by looking at the cause of the sebum overproduction.

Triggers of High Sebum, Production

1 - Hormonal Change

Teenagers are developing, and as a result, they will experience high testosterone production, which causes increased sebum production and blockage of the skin pores. Thus, you will be prone to get acne from time to time. Teenage is a stage that you have to go through, just like everyone else. If I managed to overcome the various teenage issues I had, so can you.
If you are having breakouts during your midlife, you might have some concerns. However, just like the adolescents, you also have hormonal change. The change increases the size of the sebaceous glands, thus causing high sebum production.

2. Oily Diet

If you enjoy an oily diet, then the delicacy could result in a breakout. Having excess oil in your body will mean it needs secretion. The body will have to balance out the products to ensure that you do not have excess oil; thus, this will lead to you getting the extra oil in your glands. The excess could pop up like a cyst. Junk foods are known to have high oil content and are dangerous for your skin.

3. Wrong Cosmetics

One needs to be cautious when buying cosmetics. It is paramount for you to invest in products that are ideal for your skin. I have discovered the secret to getting the right makeup is by understanding your skin. Buying too oily could result in you having excess oil on your skin. On the other hand, too dry might lead to your body producing more oil to moisturize your skin. The best option is to ensure you strike the right balance.

4.Vitamin A

Wait, before you panic, this is not rocket science. Pick any dairy product you like- that is vitamin A for you. The same case applies to the liver, fish for those who are on a strict white meat diet, carrots, and broccoli for the vegans. It is essential to have any of these foods in your diet because they are a high vitamin A source. The vitamin is vital as it regulates the secretion of sebum oil, and without it, you are prone to glands not functioning as required and might produce a high level of sebum.

How can I prevent Cystic Acne?

Prevention

• Nothing Like Too Much Water

If you have extra oil in your body, they can be compensated by increased water intake. Water will help in balancing the body's metabolic activities- emphasis on sebum production.

• Have Vitamins In Your Diet

Spinach and egg yolks are easy to get, to make, and they are also delicious. These are just examples of some ways you can ensure you have vitamin A in your body. Junk food is a no go zone.

• Do Not Get Worked Up

It is hardly possible for you not to be stressed when you have cystic acne on your skin. However, being stressed will only make the situation worse. Try to assume that this is a project and that you need to work on it. That will help you calm and work towards a solution.

• Skincare Products

Before you roll your eyes, I know you have probably used enough skincare products and are about to give up. A common mistake is to buy the product solely because of adverts. You have to do your research and work with reputable companies.

Choose a company that has positive reviews and ideal before and after images. By doing this, you can be sure of dealing with the problem. Thus, you will have a glowing skin for you to flaunt. The thought just makes me smile. Finally, there is hope.
