The causes of the appearance of sebaceous plugs

As a rule, it is the increased fat content of the skin that leads to the appearance of characteristic rashes.The fact is that with this type of skin pores are always dilated and naturally they accumulate dirt, dust, dead epidermis scales.And do not forget that through these very pores, the secret of the sebaceous glands comes out, and if they are clogged, then all components are accumulated.

The causes of the appearance of sebaceous plugs

What can cause increased fat content of the skin?First, it can be a genetic predisposition - according to statistics, the fatty skin type in most cases is inherited by children from parents.Secondly, a major role in the formation of the type of skin is played by the hormonal background - for example, a woman can have a normal skin type, but during pregnancy the hormonal background changes and after the delivery the skin becomes fat.Thirdly, sebaceous plugs can appear if the skin care is wrong.

Nutrition for greasy traffic jams on the face

Usually the sebaceous glands begin to actively develop their secret with malnutrition.It's no wonder that cosmetologists, working with patients about the sebaceous plugs on their face, direct them to the nutritionist. In order to correctly adjust your diet, you need to observe some rules:

  1. It is desirable to exclude meat from the diet.Of course, this is absolutely a cardinal method, but in the "light version" you can exclude from the menu fatty meat and eat rabbit meat, chicken and lamb.
  2. Fish should always be present on the table.Even if there is no special love for fish, you need at least once a day to prepare fish dishes - it can be salted herring, fried flounder, and stewed crucian carp.Do not try to replace caviar with fish - this product is also very useful, but its composition is somewhat different from the composition of fish.
  3. Raw vegetables and fruits should be consumed at least 2 times a day.These products contain a lot of fiber, which has a beneficial effect on the digestive system.Remember that the intestines and acne are interrelated, so the condition of the facial skin will depend on the work of the gastrointestinal tract.
  4. The principle of fractional power must be observed.Overeating, as well as malnutrition, negatively affects the work of the whole organism as a whole, including the functioning of the sebaceous glands.Eat every 2-3 hours, but in small portions.
  5. Be sure to eat milk and dairy products.You can enter everything in the menu - cottage cheese and cream, kefir and ryazhenka, whole milk and natural yoghurts.The only clarification from a nutritionist - the percentage of fat content of all listed products should be as low as possible.
  6. Discard the butter.It is much more useful for the skin of the face and the work of the sebaceous glands to use vegetable fats - olive, linseed, corn and other oils.

Such a diet will help not only normalize the digestive system, but also contribute to getting rid of extra pounds - such a nice "bonus".

Changing the way of life

Yes, in order to get rid of sebaceous plugs, you will have to reconsider your lifestyle.First, it is necessary to exclude the development of hypodynamia.And this means that you need to competently combine active physical activity and rest - walk more on foot, do a 10-minute warm-up in the morning, perform 5-10 squats or 5-10 slopes every 2 hours with sedentary work.

Changing the way of life

Another point - it is highly desirable to give up night gatherings, learn how to fully rest at night.The adult person needs to sleep 6-8 hours a day and it is completely useless to try to replace the night sleep by daytime - the body will still work with disturbances.
