Sebum is released from the pores of the skin (a cavity in the skin containing a hair follicle and a sebaceous gland), giving it its oily character. This mechanism of sebum secretion is called the <strong><span style=\"color: #ff7200;\">seborrhea<\/span><\/strong>.

It often disappears <a href=\"https:\/\/hyfac.fr\/en\/sos-dermato\/4321-acne-de-la-femme-adulte\/\">(but not always)<\/a> after the age of 20. Some forms of acne are particularly severe, combining nodules (deep pimples) and cysts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #00a7d4;\"><strong>How does acne develop?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The mechanism of acne formation is well known today.

This inflammation is caused by a small microbe (called a <em>P.acnes<\/em>) which lives naturally in the sebaceous glands and which takes advantage of the increase in its activity to multiply. The <span style=\"color: #ff7200;\"><em>P.acnes<\/em> <\/span>is the key player in the formation of acne. In addition to its ability to promote hyperkeratinization and modify sebum, it is the trigger for inflammation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #00a7d4;\"><strong>What factors contribute to acne?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The hormones of puberty are responsible for the appearance of acne, but there are other contributing factors:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-4405 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/hyfac.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/effet-alimentation-acne-hyfac.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"145\" height=\"145\"><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hyfac.fr\/en\/conseils-dermato\/1287-lacne-et-lalimentation\/\"><strong style=\"color: #ff7200;\">Power supply<\/strong><\/a> Foods with a high glycemic index (sweets, chocolates, cakes, etc.), but also dairy products, rapidly increase the blood sugar level. This increase in insulin levels will induce a secretion of androgens and thus stimulate the sebaceous gland, which will produce more sebum. Finally, saturated fatty acids are also harmful and aggravate acne by modifying the composition of sebum.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-4406 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/hyfac.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/effet-contraception-acne-hyfac.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"145\" height=\"145\"><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hyfac.fr\/en\/conseils-dermato\/1289-lacne-et-la-contraception\/\"><span style=\"color: #ff7200;\"><strong>Contraception<\/strong><\/span><\/a>&nbsp;Androgenic hormones (male hormones) play a major role in the production and secretion of sebum. So, depending on the androgenic dose, some contraceptives will improve acne, others will worsen it.

The foundations and powders you use must be oil-free and certified non-comedogenic, i.e. they must not encourage the formation of comedones (blackheads and white microcysts). Use a fluid foundation instead, as compact foundations are applied with sponges, which are veritable \"bacteria nests\". Go easy on powders, because even the right ones can still clog pores.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-4408 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/hyfac.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/effet-soleil-acne-hyfac.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"143\" height=\"143\"><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hyfac.fr\/en\/conseils-dermato\/1293-lacne-et-le-soleil\/\"><span style=\"color: #ff7200;\"><strong>Sun<\/strong><\/span><\/a>&nbsp;: The <a href=\"https:\/\/hyfac.fr\/en\/sos-dermato\/4324-le-soleil-et-la-peau\/\">sunlight<\/a> dry out our skin and have an anti-inflammatory action; in summer, red spots and pustules tend to fade and the tan evens out our complexion.

Tobacco, and particularly the nicotine it contains, increases the proliferation of keratinocytes (skin cells). The excretory ducts of the sebaceous glands become \"keratinized\" and thicken, hindering the flow of sebum and clogging the pores. Open comedones (blackheads) and closed comedones (microcysts) are formed. In addition, smoking slows down the healing process and thus aggravates acne marks and scars.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #00a7d4;\"><strong>How to treat teenage acne?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p align=\"justify\">First of all, it is essential to adopt a <strong><span style=\"color: #ff7200;\">strict hygiene<\/span><\/strong> morning and evening, make-up removal is essential.
