Acne - Oily

Acne and oiliness are common problems for men, affecting their confidence and quality of life. 

What causes acne and oiliness in men?

• Sebum hypersecretion: The sebaceous glands produce sebum, an oily substance that moisturizes the skin and hair. Excessive sebum production in men can clog pores and lead to acne.
• Hormonal changes: The male hormone testosterone affects the production of sebum, contributing to acne, especially during puberty, but also at later ages.
• Genetic predisposition: Heredity plays an important role in the occurrence of acne.
• Stress: Stress can make acne worse as it affects hormones and sebum production.
• Bad nutrition: Eating foods high in sugar and fat can worsen acne symptoms.
• Improper skin care: Using harsh cleansers or products that clog pores can irritate the skin and make acne worse.

Treatment:

• Daily cleaning: Wash your face twice a day with a mild cleanser that doesn't dry out the skin.
• Peeling: Exfoliate 1-2 times a week with a product that removes dead cells and opens pores.
• Use of topical treatments: Apply topical treatments containing salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or retinoids.
