It may seem like an insignificant reason or even to think that it is absurd and exaggerated that someone commits suicide by only a few bars, but the reality is that in Mexico it is estimated that one of the main causes of suicide or attempted suicide, among 16-year-olds At 22, it’s acne. In addition, this dermatological problem is causing bullying and, therefore, low self-esteem in the victims. Thus, as a trigger for severe depression, the most common and bothersome skin condition has triggered alerts around the world. A major factor that aggravates acne is stress. When it occurs, cortisol levels rise; This is a hormone found in the sebaceous glands and causes more fat to be produced. In the same way, stress causes the sweat glands to “activate” and the secretions to aggravate on the face. Later, that fat will turn into pimples and pimples that hurt, hurt the skin and go against what most consider aesthetic.

In these cases, the intervention of a psychologist is necessary to comprehensively address the problem, since it is not only a physical issue that a dermatologist must take care of, but also an emotional one. Having acne involves many conflicts with self-esteem, security, self-acceptance, bullying and other situations whose consequences are serious and, in some cases, extreme, such as suicide.

Hydrate your skin

We might think that having an oily complexion is not suitable for a moisturizer, but that is a serious mistake. We must keep the pores hydrated with a special cream for your skin type and without artificial or extra fats. Oil-free creams are ideal, since in addition to hydrating, they refresh.

Use sunscreen

This product will not only prevent the presence of oil, but it will also prevent blemishes and delay skin aging. The sun tends to “take advantage” of oily skin to leave its mark when it burns too much.

Exfoliate your skin

There are natural products that do not irritate the dermis; In the same way, there are chemical products that help keep the pores closed and with adequate humidification. Exfoliating the face helps remove impurities and dirt residues that accumulate; It is advisable to do it at least once and a maximum of three a week.

Wear oil-free makeup

In fact, if you can go through life without foundation, much better, but if you choose to use it, it is best that you look for a specific product without oil for oily skin. These visibly control the production of facial fat and maintain a matte effect most of the day. If during the day you notice that the fat appears, do not touch up with more makeup; With a tissue, gently remove the shine or use translucent powder to tint and seal the makeup.

Drinking water

Try to keep your body hydrated. Do not stop drinking water throughout the day, because when the body has enough fluid, the oil produced by the skin secretes a natural glow, not an excess.

Wash your face with mild soap

Do not use the same soap that you wash your body with. Buy a special one for acne and shine or choose any neutral stick; These are free of oil, perfumes and dyes, which irritate and cause the appearance of grease and shine. Dry with a special towel.

Change pillowcases

Do it at least once a week and try to make them cotton. You will prevent bacteria from staying in one place for a long time and reproducing. You will give your face a break and avoid acne.

Don’t touch your face all day

Avoid, as much as possible, touching your face. If you’re going to do it, try washing your hands first. Sometimes it is very easy to remove excess oil with your palms or fingers, but doing it that way will only cause bacteria to spread on your face.

In the smallest, the appearance of pimples is the cause of important problems of self-esteem; Furthermore, the levels of depression in Mexican society are higher than in other times. Fortunately, just follow these tips and try to eat a balanced diet without so much fat to avoid acne. Of course, we must understand that facial brightness is normal, but to make it less obvious, the key is to maintain healthy, clean skin and free of bacteria.
