Sea buckthorn oil for perfect facial skin against acne

Causes of acne on the face

For treatment to be effective, it is necessary to know the causes of acne on the face. There are many factors to which the dermis reacts with rashes and exacerbation of acne. After finding out the cause of facial skin problems, getting rid of them will be much easier.

The most popular among them are:

1. Poor nutrition . It should be balanced, rich in vitamins and minerals. Particularly important are products that contain vitamins A, C and group B. The lack of food with these elements can be compensated for by purchased vitamin tablets. An excess of flour, sweet and fatty foods leads to problems with the skin of the face. If you bring the consumption of such food back to normal, the rash will go away.
2. Hormone imbalance . Failure in the hormonal system leads to acne and other skin problems. Insulin-like growth factor 1, testosterone and dihydrotestosterone should not predominate in the female body. Male hormones (androgens) stimulate sebum production, while female hormones (estrogens) suppress it. After normalizing the hormonal balance, the skin of the face should become cleaner.
3. Incorrect care . You should wisely select cosmetics according to the type of epidermis. Pay attention to the purpose of masks, balms, creams, peelings, scrubs and other things. Cosmetics should be suitable for the type - for oily, dry, normal, combination, sensitive skin. Incorrectly selected products will cause irritation, redness and cause rashes.
4. Diseases . If there are problems with the gastrointestinal tract, there is a high probability of acne appearing on the face. Failures in the digestive system lead to disruption of the microflora of the stomach and intestines. This negatively affects the condition of the skin.
5. Emotional condition . Anxiety and anxiety are the strongest factors affecting the skin, especially problematic and sensitive skin. To clear your face of acne, you need to normalize the functioning of the nervous system and take a course of herbal sedatives.
6. Climate . In the cold season, skin problems are observed less frequently than in the warm season. When it's hot outside, more sebum is produced. As a result of its combination with sweat and cosmetics, rashes appear on the face.

Reviews

A few reviews from women with problem skin who have already tried sea buckthorn:

"Hello! I have oily skin and this causes all the troubles. An allergic reaction occurs more often to foundation creams, and it doesn’t matter whether they are expensive or cheap. I tried many special remedies for pimples, acne, and rashes, but I could not achieve a significant effect.

Your article introduced me to sea buckthorn oil. Having adopted several mask recipes, I began to act. After the first use I saw a positive result, and after 2 weeks I completely got rid of the unpleasant flaws in my appearance, which I could not achieve for several months. I recommend trying it!”

Elena, 21 years old.

"Hello! I am from that category of girls who suffer from acne, pimples and other nasty things caused by oily skin. I, like everyone else, want to look perfect, so I started looking for a solution. Pharmacy ointments, sprays, synthetic masks and other products turned out to be powerless against harmless pimples. Then I had to turn to traditional methods.

I learned about sea buckthorn oil a month ago, but only started using it the other day. All because I doubted that it was effective and could not decide for a long time. As it turned out, it was in vain, because after the first use of one of the masks indicated in this article, there was a significant result. I plan to do 2-3 more procedures in order to finally overcome this unpleasant problem.”

Julia, 18 years old.

“Good day, creators of the site and its readers! Once again I am convinced that traditional medicine will never be able to get ahead of cosmetic and pharmacy products. I have dry skin, and even choosing a cleanser is already a difficult task.

I often heard about such a remedy for acne from a close friend, but was not interested. But recently I was invited to a gala event, and before that, as luck would have it, a pimple popped up, and on the tip of my nose. I had to try the miracle remedy. In just a couple of procedures I said goodbye to the problem and added a jar to my cosmetic bag! I'm sure it will come in handy more than once! I hope that my review will be useful."

Why do chickenpox leave scars?

Chickenpox begins with a feeling of general weakness of the body and high fever. Soon characteristic bubbles with a diameter of 2-5 mm appear on the body. After this, the fever goes away and your health improves noticeably. But bubbles continue to appear in various parts of the body for another 5 days.

After this, the bubbles burst and a crust forms, under which healthy cells are born. Despite the severe itching, it should never be scratched. If you can’t restrain yourself and scratch it, and even until it bleeds, pyogenic bacteria are introduced under the skin. They deeply injure the epidermis, which is why scars and pits appear.

However, in addition to this, there are a number of possible reasons for the appearance of scars after chickenpox :

• Infection in an open ulcer . After scratching the crust, the virus penetrates the upper layer of the epidermis. If you continue to open it further, the infection will penetrate into deeper layers and can radically change the structure of the tissue.
• Lack of personal hygiene . If parents still look after the kids, then teenagers are already responsible for hygiene themselves. It is very easy to introduce dirt into an open wound, but it is difficult to get rid of the consequences.
• Weakened immunity . The body does not have enough strength to fight the virus, so tissue restoration occurs very slowly. Most often, residents of large cities encounter this reason during the off-season in autumn and spring.
• Incorrect selection of medications . Under the influence of “not your” ointment, the crusts fall off before a healthy layer of skin has formed. This way, dirt or infection can get into the upper layer of the epidermis and then go deeper.
• Using anti-scarring medications on a wound that has not yet healed . All anti-scarring agents should be used only after the skin has healed! Otherwise, they will do more harm than help.
• Patient's age . The younger the age, the easier the disease is tolerable. With age, the likelihood of “souvenirs” after chickenpox increases.
• And finally, a not entirely obvious reason - rubbing of clothes or a reaction to synthetics . Many people honestly endure the itching and forget about the rubbing of the crust on clothing, and this is also a concern for the inflamed area.

To avoid all this, you can use pharmaceutical gels and ointments that reduce itching and have antibacterial properties. Or use traditional means: green paint and great willpower not to itch.

Whatever method you choose, it is very important to start treatment on time. That is, apply an application of the product to the combed area as soon as the chicken ulcer opens.
