Our skin has to endure a lot every day. Especially the facial skin is largely unprotected and thus defenseless against any environmental influences. But there can also be stimuli from within that change the skin's appearance. Among other things, the skin tells us when something is wrong with the body. Today we will deal with impure skin and the signs that your body sends you through impurities.
When you think of blemished skin, you first think back to your teenage years. Pimples, acne and blackheads appear in many people, especially in times of puberty. But this is by no means the rule, because many adults also suffer from skin impurities. These are among very stubborn and difficult to fight. But what can you do to counteract blemished skin?
5 tips on what you can do against blemished skin:
- Proper cleansing- Use pH neutral lotions and soaps for your face or affected skin areas.
- Proper skin care- The right skin care is very important as it should cleanse, support, nourish and build a barrier for the skin well.
- Hands off- Make sure to wash your hands before touching your face. You should also leave pimples and blackheads alone.
- Fresh towel- Be sure to hot wash your towel regularly if you use it to dry your face every day. This is where germs and bacteria collect.
- Take care of yourself- Stress, the wrong diet or too little exercise can promote blemished skin.
How does impure skin develop?
First of all, one speaks of impure skin when the skin looks visually uneven and not pure. But there is more to it than just the appearance, because people with blemished skin often suffer from itchy skin, inflamed pimples and a general feeling of discomfort.
There are a variety of factors that can be responsible for the skin forming blemishes. Some are caused by external influences, while some come from within. Here you'll learn what influences from within your body can be, as a sign to you to change something.
What is your body trying to tell you?
Depending on the factor you are exposed to in your life, your skin wants to give you different signs through impurities.
An unbalanced hormone level often shows itself through blemishes, acne and pimples on the chin and around the mouth area. Women in particular suffer from hormone-related blemished skin. The wrong diet can also be a reason for the body to form impurities. Do you eat a lot of greasy foods or do you possibly have an intolerance that you don't know about? It is best to discuss this with your doctor before you change your diet.
Above all, it can be stress that your body can't cope with, and as a result you develop blemished skin. Inner turmoil, sadness, pressure, stress. There are a lot of factors which can come out of you and cause pimples, acne or blemishes. It would be best to talk about this with friends or experienced therapists if you think this might apply to you.
