Your scalp, like your face, can have clogged or blocked pores. This is usually caused by excess oil production combined with dead skin cells as well as skin irritants found in hair care products like shampoos and conditioners.
These scalp pimples are usually very sensitive to the touch and can be painful. Some of them are actually raised and you can feel that bump with your fingers. What can you do to eliminate them and prevent new ones from developing?
I love tofu. It tastes good but I didn’t realize that it can affect my hormones and trigger acne on my face.
I don’t necessarily eat soy products on a daily basis but whenever I do a new pimple or two will appear on my face, especially on my forehead. Am I simply allergic or am I reacting to the effect of soy on my hormones?
Grains, depending on how you grow, prepare, and ingest them, can either be a great source of nutrition or poison.
Grains in excess and not prepared right (including whole grains which are better than refined) are acid and mucus forming and may aggravate the delicate lining of your G.I. tract, causing food allergies, poor nutrient absorption and digestion problems.
Sleep is a natural state of rest when we temporarily lose our consciousness of the world.
Sleep is also a building process when the body restores its energy supplies that have been depleted through the day’s activities. In sleep the body rejuvenates and repairs itself.
Clinically speaking, a tight correlation was found between insomnia (the inability to fall asleep or to remain asleep) and acne. Sleep and skin are strongly related.
Laughter, besides being a powerful brain, respiratory and hormonal system simulator, is also very effective at lowering blood pressure, lightening depression and of course it is an excellent stress reducer.
Laughter is the simplest way to feel good and release accumulated tension.
Sigmund Freud referred to laughter as a very safe way of releasing anxiety, anger, fear, aggression and tension. But can it affect your skin?
Your genetic tendencies is by far the most important factor leading to the formation of acne. Unfortunately most genetic factors cannot be controlled or deactivated.
Genetic tendencies are merely individual tendencies of the body to act or react in a certain way that is not common to everyone. Genetic tendencies are the missing link that explains the difference between people who have acne and those who do not.
My self-esteem had always been low. I always felt so insecure about my appearance but it spilled over into every other area of my life.
As a result of how I felt about myself I got jobs that were low-paying and well below my skills. Do you feel the same about yourself because of your acne?
You pretty much have to be a super-human not to be emotionally effected in some way by your acne challenge.
