Today, let's talk about the causes of acne after fitness and how to solve this problem.
The problem of acne usually occurs in adolescence. Acne, also known as acne, is mainly due to excessive sebum secretion, blockage of sebaceous glands in hair follicles, bacterial infection, inflammatory reaction and other factors. The following are the causes of acne. As you can understand, these pimples disappear after puberty.
But why does a person who has passed adolescence grow acne after fitness? In fact, there are many main factors, specifically: hormone secretion, sweating, excessive intake of fine carbon, excessive intake of dairy products, vitamin B deficiency and so on. It's all because of your acne after fitness. Let's analyze it in detail.
1. Hormone secretion
From the above reasons of acne in adolescence, it can be seen that testosterone is one of the main factors affecting acne. Everyone only knows that exercise promotes the secretion of testosterone. After excessive secretion of testosterone, some testosterone may promote the development of sebaceous glands and produce a lot of sebum, which in turn will block your pores and cause acne problems.
However, it is not obvious that fitness can increase testosterone secretion. The duration of high testosterone level after fitness is very short, and the problem of testosterone affecting acne is very small. More reasons may be that you are prone to acne, more may be genetic factors.
In addition, if you don't arrange the balance between fitness and life, excessive stress and fatigue will affect your work and rest and mood, which will easily affect your hormone secretion and cause acne.
2. Sweating problem
After exercise, the body temperature rises, the pores relax and sweat a lot, which may cause the oil in the hair follicle mouth to absorb sweat and expand, blocking the hair follicle. After exercise, the pores are closed, and the dirty things inside are not easy to be discharged, resulting in acne.
Especially in the sultry environment, if the clothes are poorly ventilated, it is more likely to cause pore blockage and acne problems. Sweating can cause acne problems on the back more often. If the oil secretion of your skin is relatively strong, plus a lot of sweating, and it is not treated in time, it is easier to grow acne.
3. Increased carbohydrate intake, especially fine carbohydrates.
If you are in a state of fitness and muscle gain, the demand for carbohydrates will increase a lot. If you eat too many fine carbohydrates, especially foods with high GI, it is easy to make insulin secretion too high, which will lead to the increase of growth hormone and androgen secretion and affect our sebum secretion.
In fact, this can be seen from adolescence. In adolescence, we all like to eat some high-sugar foods, but we don't like vegetables. We always like to eat some high-calorie food, which is one of the reasons why you have acne.
4. Excessive intake of dairy products
Everyone knows to eat more protein after fitness. Milk, a high-quality protein source, is naturally a good choice. Many bodybuilders will increase their intake of dairy products, including protein powder, which contains IGF- 1 inflammatory factors, which can accelerate the keratinization of hair follicle sebum tubes and lead to acne.
5. Vitamin deficiency
Especially vitamin B, the metabolism of sugar, fat and protein in the body is accelerated after fitness, which will consume more vitamin B. The lack of vitamin B will also affect the secretion of cortex, leading to acne on the face, so eating more fruits and vegetables is very important for fitness.
Hormone reasons: You should keep a good routine, don't put too much pressure on yourself, and keep a positive attitude.
Reasons for sweating: I suggest you keep your training clean, wipe your sweat in time, and be sure to use clean equipment, wear breathable clothes during exercise, and take a shower and wash your face after exercise.
Reasons for carbohydrates: eat more coarse carbohydrates, or mixed coarse and fine carbohydrates, eat more vegetables, eat more coarse grains, eat less foods with high sugar and salt, and eat less fine carbohydrates.
Reasons for dairy products: appropriately reduce the intake of milk or protein powder. If protein is not enough, try to eat more meat, fish and shrimp to supplement protein.
In addition, for girls: don't do makeup exercise, makeup exercise is also one of the reasons for your acne. As we said above, during exercise, your body temperature will rise, you will sweat, your pores will gradually expand and your skin will "breathe" better. If you exercise with makeup, the cosmetics on your skin may affect its heat dissipation and perspiration, leading to pore blockage and acne.
If you are exercising outdoors, I suggest you do a good job of sun protection and pay attention to smog, which is also a way to prevent you from getting acne.
Finally, you will actually find that the acne after fitness is more due to improper operation. In essence, most of the reasons have little to do with fitness. Maybe you just didn't notice one of them, which led to a negative impression on fitness. If you operate properly, fitness will bring you more good changes and improve your situation.
