ACNE A PROBLEM FOR MANY TEENAGERS
Acne is an inflammation of the skin caused by an excess of sebum within the hair follicles.
When sebum is produced more than normal, dead cells and bacteria remain trapped in the pores, creating ideal conditions for the onset of pimples and impurities.
When acne manages to penetrate the dermis deeply, it causes inflammations that can cause pain with disfigurement of the affected area.
Redness, uneven skin, and pimples of even considerable size characterize this condition, with a continuous phenomenon since the inflammations generated require long healing times.
How can we intervene?
The LUMEA line offers several products designed to combat this issue.
Skin cleansing is the first thing to do to prevent the continuous formation of bacteria and the accumulation of sebum.
LUMEA Mousse gently cleanses the face by removing excess sebum; it is soothing, thus calming redness and inflammations, and finally hydrates.
It contains snail slime, calendula, and argan oil.
Pura is 100% pure LUMEA snail slime, with regenerating and sebum-regulating action.
Used to dry comedones (blackheads) and soothe inflamed skin.
It is also known for its antibacterial and soothing power, thanks to which it gives the epidermis the opportunity to renew itself.
Finally, the LUMEA Moisturizing Cream, thanks to the presence of aloe vera extract, helps soothe redness and deeply hydrates by exploiting the combined action of snail slime and shea butter.
Snail slime helps to even out the complexion, regenerating damaged skin.
What are the possible combinations?
The factors contributing to the appearance of acne are:
Hormones and sebaceous hypersecretion
Hyperkeratosis and obstruction of the pilosebaceous follicles
Inflammation
Bacterial proliferation
Acne is caused by hormones. They are messages between cells that stimulate or block receptors; the more sensitive the receptors, the more acne will develop. The sensitivity of the receptors is determined by genetics.
The increase in male hormone levels stimulates the sebaceous glands of the skin to produce more sebum.
The lipolipid film is like a film present on the skin surface composed of a fatty and a watery component.
Its function is to prevent evaporation and water loss to the external environment, thus keeping the skin well hydrated, and it also has antimicrobial properties.
