Increased level of sebum production is most of the time caused by heightened production and secretion of hormone androgens.
For this reason, it's very important to find out how you can lower the production of androgens which stimulate the facial glands to produce more facial oil. I have talked about how to improve your liver's condition and health in order to neutralize any damaging and acne-causing effects of excess hormones.
This post is all about how to lower the production of your facial oil regardless of how well functioning your liver is. But that does not mean that you should not care about your liver. In fact, if you wish to get quick and permanent acne-free skin, you should work on these two areas consistently. By doing so you will be able to prevent acne permanently.
Explanation:
The amount of testosterone produced and released by your body stimulate the oil glands underneath your skin to produce more and more facial oil. This excessive production of facial oil can often times lead to clogged pores and acne.
The way to reduce oil production is by increasing the number of good prostaglandins in your body. Hormones are order-givers, and prostaglandins are like "managers". If your body has a lot of good prostaglandins, any excess of androgens will not lead to acne.
But how can you increase the amount of good prostaglandins in your body so that you will be able to cut down on the production of facial oil by your oil glands. Here are the best ways:
- Take an omega-3 supplement. Omega-3 is the main ingredient for good prostaglandins. It's anti-inflammatory too and can speed up the recovery time.
- Eat in more zinc-rich food. Zinc helps to convert fats into good prostaglandins. It's vital for optimum immune system too. The simplest way to provide your body with sufficient amount of zinc is by taking a good zinc supplement, obviously.
- Avoid dairy products. Dairy products such as animal fats, milk, cheese and butter contain small amounts of arachidonic acid, which is the main building block for bad, low quality prostaglandins that increase oil gland activity.
- Vitamin A has been found to be a great way to reduce skin's oil production. For this reason, you should start eating in more carrots today!
By following the tips that are contained in this article, any African American with acne will be able to reduce the production of oil. This will directly prevent pore blockage and acne will be permanently prevented since acne only starts occurring when a pore gets blocked.
