Tips to get rid of period acne

11th January 2022
"We all have been there and we all hate period pimples."

We all have been there and we all hate period pimples. Sometimes, it upsets us more than the cramps and the discomfort we experience during our menstrual cycle.

Here are the tips which might help you to get rid of your period acne period:

Know your cycle

Knowing your cycle will help you to take care of your skin before it starts to break out.

A week before your period, the progesterone level increases and it stimulates the production of sebum.

The sebum coming out of your skin pores block it and these greasy pores lead to pimples.

A slight increase in testosterone levels during this time also contributes to sebum production.

Benzoyl peroxide

It works well for treating period acne by making the pores shed dead skin cells and excess sebum.

It also helps in preventing acne by killing the bacteria underneath the skin.

Salicylic acid

It helps in acne treatment by exfoliating the skin and removing dead skin cells that can clog pores.

Its anti-inflammatory properties have a soothing effect on the skin.

Keep your hands off your face

You keep your hands on your laptop while working, touch the door handle and other places during the day, and touching your face will transfer the germs and bacteria to your face, this can lead to breakouts.

Always wash your hands before touching your for apply, re-touching, or removing makeup. Try to avoid leaning your face in your hands while working or sitting.

Take a shower after a workout

Hygiene is very important during periods. If you are planning to hit the gym, make sure that you take a shower right after your workout.

This will help you to get rid of the oil buildup, bacteria, and sweat.

Eat vegetables

Eating vegetables will help you to stay healthy and help in preventing period pimples.

You can also have nutritional supplements recommended by your doctor. According to studies, mineral zinc can help reduce pimples and acne.

Nutritional supplements can also improve your skin texture.

Retinoids

This vitamin A derivative promotes new skin cell production to push oils and dead skin cells out of blocked pores.

They also have anti-inflammatory properties that help in maintaining clear skin.

Skin care routine for acne prone skin

27th October 2020
"Keep calm and keep sticking to these skin care routine."

Due to inopportune breakouts, are you always canceling plans? Despite any effort to hold them at bay, do acne signs haunt your life? Any girl's adversary is Acnes, but some get it worse than others. There's no safer choice for the unluckier ones than a ride to the dermatologist for heavy-duty acne care. But we've assembled a list of skincare habits for those who experience minor, infrequent breakouts triggered by food, lifestyle, fatigue, or just that time of the month.

Although everyone’s skin is unique, there are five main types

Dry, Combination, Normal, Oily, Sensitive

Cleansing (Morning And Night)

cleansing

Regardless of your skin type, cleansing should be the first step in every skincare regimen.

It’s essential to effectively cleanse your skin twice a day, especially if you have acne-prone skin. This helps eliminate all the impurities, oil, and dirt which may clog pores and result in blemishes, whiteheads, or blackheads. You need to wage a very gentle war with the help of a sulfate-free, mild cleanser that does the job of dissolving bacteria, dirt, and excess oil without stripping your skin or leaving it irritated.

Don’t massage or rub any product onto your skin. This will aggravate the acne.

 

Toner (Morning and Night)

The next move after washing is to apply a toner for the pores to open up. For the next stage, toners aim to prepare the skin so that the ingredients can be thoroughly absorbed.

Toners may assist in removing additional oil, combating blemishes, blackheads, and hydrating the skin. Take a ball of cotton and apply a few toner drops to it. Apply carefully across your forehead and ears.

For an oily skincare regimen that is susceptible to acne, astringents are suitable because they are meant to remove extra fat. For dry, acne-prone skin, hydrating toner is the ideal skincare regimen. 

 

Use a moisturizer ( Morning and night)

Hydrated skin is skin that is happy. A moisturizer helps to heal the skin, hydrate it, and preserve it. Moisturizing already oily skin might seem to be counterproductive. By comparison, all skin types require regular hydration, including a skincare regimen for acne.

The glands go into overdrive without a moisturizer to compensate and land up accumulating extra oil, resulting in clogged pores and painfully shiny skin. Your skin is desperate for moisture after acne therapy. A light moisturizer prevents dried and peeling skin, once in the morning and once at night.

 

Using sunscreen

It is non-negotiable, regardless of the skin condition, to use SPF every single day.

There's no tradition of playing nice with sunscreen and acne-prone forms of skin. Most individuals miss sunscreen because dense SPF normally obstructs pores and induces more breakouts. Please reconsider if this is one reason why you are steering clear of this item.

Sunscreens should be an important component of your regimen for acne skincare because certain drugs for acne treatment leave your skin susceptible to sun exposure. You are also vulnerable to symptoms of premature aging, damage to the skin, growth of skin cancers, etc. Be sure to use a sunscreen designed for the face.

 

Acne treatment products

The cornerstone in every skin-care regimen is treatment materials made with active ingredients, and this is the stage where the miracle really occurs. To intensify your acne's downfall, couple your night skincare regimen for acne-prone skin with targeted acne medicine such as spot treatments.

Potent additives that reduce pimples and lighten wounds are used in acne remedies. It's safer to use a dermatologist on prescription medication. Before you see results, allow your skin enough time to conform to the skincare regimen for acne-prone skin. You ought to use a substance for at least six weeks, and once or twice a day, to make a difference.

Different types of food that can cause acne

10th February 2021
"Avoid these foods to avoid acne breakouts."

Acne is one of the major problems among teens and youths. Researches have shown that about 10% of the whole population suffers from acne problems. Acne breakouts not only make you look dull, sick, but they also are really painful. 

Many factors contribute to the development of acne, including sebum and keratin production, acne-causing bacteria, hormones, blocked pores, and inflammation. One of the major factors that contribute to the development of acne is your food habits. Here we have put together some of the foods that cause acne.

Refined grains and sugars

Sugars, which we consume as refined white sugar in our homes and other forms like sodas, tetra pack juices, honey, etc. are rich in refined carbs. Also, refined grains are rich in carbohydrates. These get absorbed fast into the bloodstream, raising your sugar levels. The increase in insulin levels also pushes the excess sugar into your cells, which in turn causes acne.

Dairy products

A study conducted on teenagers showed that consumption of low fat and skimmed milk led to an increase in acne. However, the relation between milk and acne is not clear yet. If you notice acne post milk consumption, it is best to avoid dairy.

Fast food

A lot of teenagers consume fast food, and many researchers and researchers have proved that fast food can lead to several skin problems, acne breakouts being one of them. However, the basic cause of acne breakouts due to fast food is unknown.

Chocolate

It was proven that those who consumed 100% unsweetened cocoa did cause a significant increase in acne. The study concludes that eating chocolate (which usually contains milk - a dairy product and sugar) makes the immune system react strongly to acne-causing bacteria.

Greasy food

Fried foods or items like bacon and burgers that have a lot of greases, also have extra fat in the meat. The excess oil and fat can lead to an outbreak of pimples.

Whey protein powder

Whey protein is a rich source of proteins and amino acids like leucine and glutamine. This powder is usually consumed by male athletes and bodybuilders. However, consumption of whey protein makes the skin’s cells grow and multiply faster, besides rising insulin levels, which can also be a cause for acne.

Common Health Issues Faced by Women

17th December 2021
"Women have very unique health issues as compared to men."

Women have very unique health issues as compared to men. It is vital that every woman has access to knowledge about the women’s health conditions, not only about her reproductive system but related about all aspects of her body.

It’s important to consider that poor health affects not only women but also has repercussions for their infants and other family members.

So here are some common health issue faced by women and needs to be taken care of:

Maternal health issues

From iron-deficiency anemia to high blood pressure, the changes a woman experiences during pregnancy can impact a woman’s health.

Pregnancy can cause a healthy mother’s red blood cell count to drop, a condition called anemia, or induce depression.

Other problems like abortion infections, STDs, post-partum infections, pelvic inflammatory diseases, etc. are also faced by many women.

Lifestyle problems such as smoking, alcohol, consuming processed food, physical and emotional stress can also play a significant role in infertility.

Thyroid problems

Thyroid disease is twice as prevalent in women as in men and is common among women of child-bearing age.

Women generally have hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone levels), in which the metabolism slows down. Symptoms include weight gain, feeling sluggish and tired, etc.

On the other side, high thyroid levels can also cause early onset of menopause, before 40 years or in the early 40s.

Urinary tract infections

Urinary tract infections is particularly common in women, as they have a shorter urethra than a man does.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) occur when germs get into the urethra and start to multiply.

Symptoms of a UTI include frequent urination, pain or burning when urinating, and cloudy urine.

Gynecological Health

Bleeding and discharge are a normal part of the menstrual cycle.

However, added symptoms during menstruation may indicate health issues, and unusual symptoms, such as bleeding between menstruations and frequent urinating, can mimic other health conditions.

Vaginal issues could also indicate serious problems such as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or reproductive tract cancer.

While care providers might treat mild infections easily, if left unchecked, they can lead to conditions such as infertility or kidney failure.

Depression and Anxiety

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) occurs commonly among women, while premenstrual dysmorphic disorder (PMDD) presents similar, but greatly intensified, symptoms.

Shortly after birth, many mothers acquire a form of depression called the “baby blues,” but perinatal depression causes similar which include symptoms like concerns, emotional shifts, sadness, and tiredness.
