Acne affects about 15 million people in France, mostly teenagers, as a result of increased sebum secretion (a fatty substance released from the sebaceous glands in the skin), which contributes to clogged pores, creates a fatty environment, and promotes the proliferation of bacteria on the skin.
To shed light on this unwanted skin disease, the French site "LCI" reviews the latest findings of a recent study presented at the conference of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereal Diseases.
The researcher Brigitte Drino told the French site that this disease is hardly any one survives, and can be slowed by the emergence of some drugs, and the adoption of an appropriate diet and hygiene care, noting what some dermatologists supervising the study, that sugars and dairy products, Some aggressive skin treatments are among the main factors that promote acne.
Suitable diet
After analyzing the responses to a survey of 6,700 respondents in six countries in North America, South America and Europe, there appeared to be an increase in acne among people who drink soft drinks, pastries, chocolate, sweets, and dairy products. .
"This confirms scientifically valid data showing that eating sugar increases the secretion of a substance called IGF-1, an insulin-1 growth factor that is established on superficial cells, where hair is generated, as well as acne," said Brigitte Drino. Able to increase growth hormone "IGF-1".
The researcher at the University Hospital of Nantes says it is not necessary to change everything in the diet in order for the appearance of acne to disappear, but only to maintain a reasonable consumption of sugars, a balanced diet, and should not remove milk Of the diet.
Inappropriate soap and creams
The researcher says that the use of soap and creams are not appropriate with scrubs and masks are common among people who suffer from acne, and therefore advises those who "suffer from acne not to use masks or scrubs because they cause skin irritation."
The researcher prefers products with proper acidity, because the use of soap with inappropriate acid may stimulate the sebaceous glands, and thus promotes acne.
The website concluded that the goal of the study is to remind people dermatologists that acne treatment is not only prescription with a local and general treatment, but also concerns the questioning of the patient, considering the factors that can affect his condition.
