Closed comedones are a common skin problem, usually appearing in the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin). If you accidentally get closed comedones on your face, I believe many young ladies will think that it is caused by inadequate cleaning and start washing their faces frantically. In fact, the reason why closed comedones often grow on the face is not only due to inadequate cleaning, but also due to the following reasons:
1. Excessive oil secretion
If your closed comedones are concentrated in the T-zone where oil is frequently produced, and you have typical oily skin, it may be caused by excessive stratum corneum and excessive oil secretion. Because whether you have a thick stratum corneum or excessive oil secretion, these will easily clog the pores on your face, which naturally creates conditions for the growth of acne.
2. Incomplete makeup removal
If your closed comedones are concentrated in the hairline, and you usually have the habit of wearing makeup, then there is a 90% chance that you are not removing your makeup properly. If you don't remove your makeup at night, the ingredients of these makeup will remain in the pores, which will cause closed comedones on your forehead over time.
3. Clogged pores
Clogged pores are also one of the causes of closed comedones. When dirt, cosmetics, dead skin cells and other substances on the skin accumulate in the pores, closed comedones will form.
4. Staying up late frequently
If your closed comedones are all over your face, even on your cheeks, which are usually not oily, then you should consider whether it is caused by diet, emotions or lack of water. Because you often stay up late and become addicted, and have irregular diets... These will easily stimulate the sebaceous glands to secrete oil, which will cause closed comedones to grow on your face.
5. Unhealthy diet
Unhealthy diet may also lead to the formation of closed comedones. Foods high in sugar, fat, salt, etc. will stimulate the sebaceous glands to secrete more oil, which will cause clogged pores.
6. Exposure to the sun
If your skin is normal, but you suddenly develop a lot of closed comedones, and they recur, this may be caused by endocrine imbalance and abnormal hormones in the body. In addition, if you are exposed to the sun for a long time, your face will continue to produce oil due to sweating, which will also cause closed comedones on your face~
7. Improper skin care habits
Improper skin care habits may also lead to the formation of closed comedones. For example, using too greasy skin care products and frequently squeezing pimples may cause pores to become clogged, thus forming closed comedones.
