Get Clear Skin for Christmas
For a lot of people, winter and the run-up to Christmas is one of the best times of the year. However, for those who suffer from sensitive skin and acne, this period can become rather stressful, with rates of acne and skin conditions climbing up to 10% as the temperatures drop.
One of the many reasons that your skin might suffer during these cold spells is sebum. Sebum is a type of oil that is secreted by small glands in the skin. It is an extremely important oil that helps keep your skin moist and healthy, however, too much of this can cause your pores and skin cells to become clogged. Once your pores have blocked, you might begin to notice breakouts of whiteheads, blackheads and other forms of acne.
Your face contains the majority of these sebum-producing glands – so if it starts to become dry as a result of the winter cold, it will speed up the production of sebum in an attempt to moisturise your skin – unfortunately, this can work against you in certain scenarios.
The winter weather doesn’t have to get the better of your skin – at La Fuente, let us welcome you into the warm and talk through many of our advanced treatment plans. We can have your skin looking silky smooth in time for any festive occasion.
How Acne Occurs
Acne is one of the most frequently treated skin conditions throughout the UK – it occurs when your hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It is most common in teenagers however can affect people of all ages.
Typically, acne appears on your face, forehead, chest, upper back and shoulders. This is no accident, for these parts of your body have a higher concentration of oil-producing glands. As mentioned above, excess oil is a prime cause of acne, as are blocked hair follicles which can occur when oil and dead skin cells become trapped in these parts of the skin.
There are other factors that can trigger acne, these include:
Hormonal Changes: Acne is more common in teenagers than adults, and this is usually a result of the fluctuating levels of hormones that are often inseparable from puberty. Hormone changes can also occur during pregnancy and due to stress and certain medications.
Diet: Research shows that consuming certain foods that are carbohydrate-rich can trigger acne. However, this does not appear to be a direct cause of the condition, but has been observed to make its symptoms worse.
