The fatty skin

The main feature of the skin fat is the greasiness and luster widespread, it is off color, often olive, and coarse is caused by outlets of the sebaceous glands or pores, dilated, and especially on the nose and cheeks may emerge on the so-called effect of orange peel.The dilated pores, then more easily absorb atmospheric dust, smog and dead cells, and because they are occluded, the sebum, which can not find a way out, is stagnant and causes the formation of pimples and comedoni. In the long term structural changes involved in sebaceous glands the sebum becomes waxy and blocks the outlets ghiandolari. A this point in the process the skin becomes asfittica, a coarse, rich blacks and pimples points that constitute the starting point of acne. The fatty skin is not pleasant to be seen, but has the considerable advantage of being linked to younger age. As this very slowly aging: wrinkles, an expression of loss of elasticity that accompanies age, in fact appear later than in other types of skin. A thin film composed of water, proteins and fats and oil protects the skin. Sebum, sweat and debris from the renewed continuously. When the film becomes thick and abundant, with amendments of its components, the skin is called fat. Above all the qualitative and quantitative changes of sebum are of primary importance in its determinism. The sebum is known normal hydrophilic for the presence of cholesterol, which tends to emulsify fats with water. The sebum in the skin fat is clearly hydrophobic, low in cholesterol. The balance between water and fat breaks with the consequent increase of greasiness and the thickening film. In addition, unsaturated fatty acids tend to decrease, simultaneously with oil. The skin tends to lose so its ability to Auto star Eril tion with the possibility of easy infection.The causes of this hyper secretion can be of various internal and external origin. The secretion of sebum is regulated by hormones secreted by the adrenal glands and testosterone, a male hormone is present in humans and in women.The predisposition to a hyper secretion of sebum by the sebaceous glands are inherited from parents. This does not at birth, but at puberty, when hormones stimulate adequately glands themselves. There is an endocrine seborrea typical adolescence, not so much due to increased production of hormones, especially androgenic acting as an altered response to a glandular normal hormonal stimulation. Hence the increase in the flow sebaceous poor cholesterol, with clinical upsurge in young women coinciding with the menstrual period. Then contribute to stabilizing the phenomenon digestive factors and unbalanced diets: main defendants are fats, canned food, dried fruit, chocolate. Stress and psycho-physical state of anxiety may in turn affect the sebaceous changes as a result of abnormal stimuli transmitted to the glands by sympathetic. Even air pollution, now indispensable at least in large urban centers, plays a considerable role on the functionality of sebum glands. Another factor that may help make your skin fat is the shortage of minerals and other trace elements, so you should first balance the diet, supplementing it with some of these substances.
