How skin behaves

Lâ¿¿Oreal Paris Fall Repair 3X Anti-hair Fall help to curb hair loss.

I’m 24 years old and my skin has been troubled with pimples, blackheads and whiteheads for about 10 years. I’ve tried many over-the-counter products as well as doctors’ prescriptions. Sometimes, my skin clears up, but this doesn’t last long. An outbreak will happen again after a few months, leaving behind scars and open pores. Now, my skin is rather dry on the cheeks and oily at the T-zone. The pimples are mainly found on the forehead, chin, cheeks and jawline. Please help. – Wendy

According to Christine Cheong, Yves Rocher training manager, everyone needs to have an understanding of how our skin behaves. In your case, a breakout mainly on the T-zone could be due to the dihydrotestosterone hormone that stimulates the sebaceous glands in these areas. It causes an increase in sebum production which leads to oiliness on the T-zone area. In addition, breakouts along the jawline are an indication of stress. As the follicles are filled with excess oil, they become blocked more easily. When this happens, trapped Propionibacteria acne multiply and blocked pores become inflamed, causing breakouts.
