The reason why girls have closed foreheads

Closed comedones on the forehead, which we often call acne, can be covered with bangs for girls, but it still greatly affects the appearance, especially since some schools strictly prohibit students from having bangs. To solve the problem of closed comedones on the forehead, the key is to determine whether it is caused by ultraviolet rays, dryness or other reasons so as to solve the problem accordingly. So what are the reasons why girls have closed comedones on their foreheads?

Before you rush to squeeze with your hands or pick with a needle, we first need to understand what closed comedones are? Closed comedones are caused by dead skin cells clogging the pores, which prevents sebum from being excreted smoothly and forms protrusions on the skin surface. Therefore, if you want to avoid the formation of closed comedones, you must prevent old dead skin cells from clogging the pores. However, many people will have questions. I have cleaned up all the dead skin cells, so why are there still some? Let us understand the reasons why dead skin cells clog the skin.

Reason 1: Dryness

When the skin is not moisturized enough, the skin's metabolism will slow down, causing the formation of new skin cells to slow down, making it difficult for old dead skin cells to fall off normally, and as a result, they will accumulate on the skin's surface.

People with the following characteristics should pay special attention: skin easily peels, makeup is not easy to adhere to

Reason 2: Ultraviolet rays

When the skin is exposed to strong ultraviolet rays, in order to protect the body from damage, the skin will become thicker, thus forming a keratin blockage. In addition, ultraviolet rays will accelerate the drying of the skin and become the culprit of keratin hypertrophy.

People with the following characteristics should pay special attention: not paying attention to sun protection in winter, not using sun protection when not outdoors for a long time, and skin dullness and dryness worsen after summer.

Reason 3: Friction

A lot of unintentional physical friction can also cause the accumulation of cuticles to become thicker, such as irritating the skin with your fingers directly without making bubbles when washing your face, and wiping your face vigorously with a towel after washing your face. Such friction will stimulate the skin's self-protection and cause the cuticle to thicken.

People with the following characteristics should pay special attention: Do not use a foaming net, wipe your face vigorously with a towel, or touch your face frequently

Reason 4: Vitamin deficiency

Vitamins are essential for protecting the skin, especially vitamin B and vitamin A, which are closely related to skin metabolism. If these two are insufficient, the growth of new cells will slow down, and without the maturation of new cells, old dead skin cells will remain on the surface of the skin.

People with the following characteristics should pay special attention: those who eat out a lot, have a picky diet, and don’t like vegetables

Reason 5: Male hormones

Androgens can also cause the cuticle to thicken. Although the reason has not been identified, the increase in androgens will indeed disrupt the balance between androgens and estrogens, causing the cuticle to thicken faster. One thing worth noting is that the increase in androgen is also closely related to stress.

People with the following characteristics should pay special attention: those who are easily stressed, have adult acne, and are prone to acne before menstruation

Reason 6: Aging

As we age, our body's metabolism weakens. For example, the repair speed of skin wounds slows down. The body's metabolism weakens, and the natural keratin becomes prone to hypertrophy.
