Acne is a skin condition that occurs mainly during adolescence, one of the stages of life where most hormonal changes occur.
Often, people affected by this condition resort to countless specific products to try to curb its spread, and in many cases, out of fear, they prefer not to use any cosmetic product.
According to the Spanish Academy of Dermatology, 78% of the population has suffered from acne at some point in their lives, with the age of maximum prevalence being between 14 and 16 years old.
Most teenagers have oily skin due to the hormonal changes they experience throughout these stages of their lives, hence there is a greater chance of increased sebaceous secretion, which makes the skin surface look shinier and oilier.
At Maminat, we know very well what it's like to have a face full of acne due to the use of low-quality cosmetics, among other things; in fact, it has been the main reason why the brand was created. Keeping the skin hydrated with quality cosmetics is key to maintaining the correct balance of the skin and regulating sebum production.
Choosing a cream for teenage acne with natural ingredients can make a big difference in this process.
Why do these uncomfortable pimples appear?
Acne in adolescence occurs when hair follicles fill with oil and dead skin cells, preventing the skin from breathing. As a result, the pore becomes clogged, causing swelling, redness, and even white pus in more severe cases.
But what causes the appearance of acne? At Maminat, we explain the main reasons:
Skin, the mirror of emotions: Stress can lead to the release of adrenal steroids, significantly increasing sebum production.
Diet: Hypoglycemic diets, chocolate, or excessive consumption of greasy food can also increase the appearance of pimples in adolescence.
Cosmetic use: The use of certain creams or makeup can also influence the appearance of acne in what is commonly called cosmetic acne. Not removing makeup or doing so with products that are not suitable for our skin can also contribute to the appearance of these uncomfortable pimples.
Steps to achieve acne-free skin
In addition to eating a healthy diet, to prevent the appearance of acne, it is necessary to meticulously care for the skin and keep it clean and hydrated.
From Maminat, we give you some small tricks that will only take a few minutes and will change the appearance of your skin.
Facial cleansing, the key: Properly cleaning your face, especially when you wake up and before going to bed, is essential for your skin to look healthy and smooth. Always opt for facial cleansers with simple formulations.
At Maminat, we have our virgin milk which, in addition to acting naturally in facial cleansing, is also respectful of our skin.
Keep your skin hydrated: Yes, to prevent acne, it is necessary to keep the skin hydrated. For this, we recommend that you use a specific product according to your skin type.
