Pourquoi j'ai de l'acné ?

L'acné est attribuée à un déséquilibre hormonal qui peut affecter le fonctionnement des glandes sébacées, dont le rôle est de créer du sébum (ou huile). Cette huile se déplace le long des pores pour hydrater et protéger la peau en surface. Quand un excès de sébum obstrue un pore et se combine avec les cellules mortes de la peau en surface, des bactéries se forment, déclenchant une réponse inflammatoire de la part du corps. Le résultat de cette réponse apparaît généralement sous forme de bosses rouges et enflées, connues sous le nom de boutons, un symptôme de l'acné. Ce processus est appelé la cascade de l'acné.

Il est important de comprendre que l'acné commence à se former bien avant que nous ne voyons un bouton apparaître à la surface de notre peau. C'est pourquoi traiter le problème à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur est notre meilleure chance d'obtenir de véritables résultats. Les nettoyants et crèmes topiques peuvent être un excellent moyen d'éliminer les cellules mortes de la surface, mais AcnEase agira de l'intérieur pour cibler la surproduction de sébum à sa source, éliminant ainsi l'acné pour des résultats durables !

How to Help Fight Adult Hormonal Acne with Diet

For those individuals who suffer  from  adult acne the normal transport of sebum out of the follicle is impeded which leads to an accumulation of sebum providing a breeding ground for bacteria. Regular cleansing only is not capable of removing the bacteria entrapped at the base of the hair follicle. The rapid growth of the bacteria in combination with the accumulated sebum cause the follicle to enlarge and can result first in a mild form of Acne called comedones otherwise known as whiteheads or blackheads.

The Acne may progress to an inflammatory type of Acne lesion which are red in color and called papules, pustules and nodules. Papules are the earliest stage in the development of what are normally considered the typical "pimple". Papules are an intermediate in the progression of Acne between the non-inflammatory and inflammatory stages. The next stage is the development of a clearly inflammatory lesion called the pustule, which contains limited number of bacteria and pus below the surface of the skin. Nodules or cysts are the most advanced and severe form of Acne. Nodules result when the contents of a comedone expands from the follicular region to the surrounding tissue causing a local inflammatory reaction that may turn into cystic acne.

And since acne is an inflammatory disease any factors that increase the inflammatory response  will also cause increase in acne symptoms. When our blood sugar and insulin levels rise, we experience a serious increase in inflammatory chemicals at a cellular level. This causes inflammatory diseases such as acne to worsen dramatically.

Simple Diet Tips to Keep You Skin Clear:

• Take Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fatty acids, which reduce levels of stress chemicals.
• Take targeted nutritional supplements including alpha lipoic acid, zinc, DMAE, pantothenic acid., vit. E and A
• Add essential fatty acid supplements rich in linoleic acid. Acne sufferers  have a low concentration of linoleic acid in their sebum, and the levels decrease as the acne increases.
• Stay well hydrated with pure spring water.
• Eat a green leaf salad every day
• Add fiber to your diet to keep your colon cleansed. Apples are a great choice.
• Eat plenty of probiotics in the form of plain, unsweetened organic yogurt and kefir.
• Add walnuts and almonds (raw, unsalted) great source of fiber and essential fats including linoleic acid.
• Add chia seeds to your yogurt and fruit (fiber, omega 3's).
• Enjoy a six ounce can of wild salmon for lunch. A great way to increase protein for cellular repair, decrease inflammation (acne is an inflammatory disease), burn body fat and reduce stress.

Take AcnEase, the only all herbal clinically validated acne treatment  that not only reduces symptoms of acne but PREVENTS new acne from coming by breaking the inflammatory cycle and reducing skin oil production. Since AcnEase has no adverse effects and does not directly affects your hormones level you can use it as long as you want or need it.

Adult Hormonal Acne and Stress

Acne and can scars affect nearly 50% of adult women and over 25% of adult men. Acne can appear at just about any age (overall 75% of all people suffer from acne breakouts at some point of their lives) and afflicts all ethnic backgrounds making it one of the most widespread medical conditions in the world®. As acne usually makes its first appearance when we reach puberty the incidents of adult acne is steady increasing and the reason behind both- adolescent and adult acne is mostly the same: hormones. When the balance between testosterone and estrogen is broken and more testosterone breaks down into a substance called dihydrotestosterone, which over-stimulates the sebaceous gland to start producing more sebum, it causes subclinical inflammation that is the initiating factor in clogging the pores which results in the formation of an acne lesion.

Stress and Acne

When our blood sugar and insulin levels rise, whether from a poor diet or from stress, we experience a serious increase in inflammatory chemicals at a cellular level. This causes inflammatory diseases such as acne to worsen dramatically.

Stress and hormonal changes also contribute to acne. Cortisol and other adrenal steroids can act as androgens (male hormones) and stimulate the sebaceous (oil) glands resulting in a flare-up of acne.

We know that acne forms when oily secretions from the sebaceous glands beneath the skin plug up the pores. But what causes the oil to form in the first place? High levels of the neuropeptide Substance P plays a role in increasing the size and activity of the oil producing gland. In addition, another hormone, the stress hormone called corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is released in the sebaceous gland - also contributing to the production of excess oil, which sets the stage for acne. The wrong foods also start this chain of events resulting in acne.
 
When we follow the anti-inflammatory diet, we will see acne dramatically decrease in a matter of days. It is also vital that we find ways to eliminate physical, mental and psychic stress??a huge cause of acne. If you have ever had an acne flare-up before an important event, it is not a coincidence. The stress you were experiencing is directly correlated to the breakouts.

Treatment of Adult Acne with AcnEase®

A blemish begins approximately 2-3 weeks before it appears on your skin's surface. The sequence of events leading to the appearance of a pimple or cyst actually takes this long to develop before the blemish is evident on the surface of the skin. It is therefore imperative that you select the treatment that not only helps with present breakout but also prevents new breakouts.  AcnEase is such a therapy. It actually stops an inflammation cascade so you do not only see the exiting pimples disappearing but also a reduction in new breakouts. Since AcnEase does not directly affects your hormones and has no adverse effects many of its users continue using AcnEase even when symptoms totally disappear to prevent them from returning and to further protect the skin against acne scars. .

3 Simple Tips to Reduce Stress:

• Make sure that you get enough sleep.
• Limit intake of coffee and tea. Replace them with water and herbal teas (no caffeine).
• Set aside fifteen or twenty minutes a day for de-stressing activities: meditation, yoga, simple walk  or your favorite book may do the trick

It is a well - established fact that people who do this have significantly lower cortisol (a major stress hormone) levels.
