Why am i breaking out with cystic acne?

Ah, acne. The bane of our existence. We all know the feeling — you wake up in the morning only to see another mountain range on your face courtesy of Mother Nature. It’s time to shed some light on cystic acne and answer one crucial question: why are we cursed with it?

A Brief Introduction

Before diving into the complex world of pimples, let’s quickly bust a myth that seems to be floating around like a bad case of head lice. No, stress does not cause acne! Let me repeat — stress does not cause acne! Yes, stress can leave its mark on our skin but it doesn’t directly manifest as cysts or other forms of surgical candidates.

Now that we’ve cleared the air let’s get down and dirty about ance proper.

What is Cystic Acne?

Picture your average pimple sitting comfortably right beneath your skin’s surface – this is annoying enough by itself. Now picture this micro-mountain taking steroids and becoming inflamed AF, causing more extensive damage beneath the surface leading to pus-filled lesions specially known as cysts.

And voila – you get yourself an excellent recipe for mental torture!

Cysts tend to take forever (we mean weeks) before they even start clearing out; at times they refuse “to move out” altogether – especially when prodded or squeezed.

With such a great introduction in mind let us dive deeper:

So What Causes These Pimples from Hell?

Let me ask you first:

Do you constantly touch your face throughout the day?
Are dairy products common fare within meals?
Are sugary foods running rampant through most minor-occasions involving food?
Do you consistently use heavy makeup without adequate break-times?

If any of these box-checkers gets ticked off automatically then there may lie problems (don’t shoot the messenger).

What’s Dairy Got To Do With It?

Remember when we talked about milk being a possible extension to your break-out misery?

It turns out significant amounts of milk – like cow’s milk – holds quite an amount of hormones tied to continued breast-milk production; additionally it may trip hormonal changes in adolescents and adults alike. Now bear with me.. increased potential changes within our bodies can spark oil production overdrive resulting in super enthusiastic sebaceous glands that plug up eith dead skin-cells leading to trendy cystic acne.

Eating cheese or yogurt (which is significantly lower on hormones compared than Skimmed milks) can indeed lead towards acne unhappiness, especially if these dairy products make up a goodly proportion of one’s diet.

But not everyone has an adverse reaction towards dairy.

If you’re already dealing with excessive sugar consumption accompanied by heavy makeup habits certain types of food will bump things up even further.

To this end:

Could Your Diet Be The Culprit?

Let us divulge more about how sugary foods could be triggering cyst producing frenzy:
First off – predominantly high glycemic-index diets trigger our “oil-fertilizer” status since they raise unnecessary insulin levels throughout the body- which in-turn stimulates hair follicles causing grease explosions making way for those coveted pimples.

Aside from sugar treats beware complicated carbohydrates such as white bread donuts, bagels etc; research shows that these carbs are converted into simpler sugars thanks to Alpha-Amylase speeding oil plots present over facial territory.

Using Certain Types Of Makeup

Yes! That daily makeup allowed “time” during covid could be generating those massive spaceships unwelcome at social gatherings!

But Hold On…

Before you smash every compact lying around please ensure all makeup tools get cleaned regularly enough times thoroughly remove debris left behind which accumulates bacteria thereby increasing pimple occurrences in amounts exceeding Superman’s upper limit.

Even before that: take note of contents makeup comprising creams, foundations or thick concealers. For people already prone to acnes Inflammatory Propionibacterium species found on facial skin could grow rapidly aided by these types of ingredients leading us one step closer toward meeting the fearsome cyst!

How Long Are You Keeping Your Makeup On?

Did you know every time we sleep with makeup intact for a longer duration? We run an increased risk for all forms of acne high production levels; even forgetfulness where taking off cosmetics is concerned (justified laziness is common) can be responsible since it causes occlusion -an effect that exacerbates acne further.

What About Touching Our Faces?

Are you constantly touching your face because boredom has set in thanks to home-office??

Your hands contain bacteria and germs picked up during #life activities thereby transferring them onto our faces through touch…we don’t know about you but this sounds like a party-cum-pimple gathering with invitations eagerly extended nearby hair follicles.
Not only do daily headwear catch dirt leaving behind impurities and bacteria perfect cumulation points facilitating cystic outgrowths > stretching from ear-to-ear quickly!

In conclusion:

It’s Time To Say Goodbye

It’s nearly impossible -and quite frankly unfair- to completely eliminate spots, pimples, blackheads etcetera from everyday lives much less combat stubborn cysts accurately albeit let us bear in mind basic beautifying habits:
• Increase water intake
• Ensure devices are kept clean regularly
• Exercise often – this activity helps sweat remove dead-scalp cells sooner negating possible pore clogging issues.
• Consume probiotic food articles aimed at eradicating unhealthy probiotics making way for better quality nourishment suited towards healthy-skin growth.

Bear in mind there are plenty more ways alongside harnessing aforementioned approaches aimed squarely against acne dreams-cum-nightmares meeting their ends achieved when cleansing, moisturizing or using scrubs related to skin becomes a life-habit.

We’ve shed some light on perhaps the most interesting ideas regarding cystic acne which will help you understand what your body is communicating with every outgrowth. Start now and take note of any improvements that begin appearing shortly; it may mean waiting for weeks or even months while at it but hey- life can’t be perfect!

Just remember: embrace imperfections positively irrespective of where nature dishes them out.
