Skincare
Causes of Acne And Pimples, A large numbers of oil producing glands called sebaceous glands are present under the skin, prominantly on face, back, chest and shoulders. During puberty or menopause due to the influence of the sex hormones, which are produced in male and female, these glands become more active and produce an oily secretion called sebum which makes the skin oily. The excessive sebum clogs the skin pore or the pit of the hair follicle. The blocked pore acts as good habitat for bacteria.The bacterial infection causes inflammation (red, painful swelling of the infected area) of the clogged pores or hair follicles. Vata and Kapha are two main doshas, which are involved in eruption of acne and pimples. The oil produced by glands is called as meda (body fat). Kapha (one of the tridoshas) is dominant in meda. The presence of Kapha in oil makes it sticky. Vata is dominant in skin. When Vata gets aggravated due to unhealthy diet and life styles, it activates the oil glands of skin to secrete more sticky oil or sebum. Thus the sticky oil or sebum oozes out to clog skin pores. The Factors, Which Vitiate VATA Avoiding natural urges like urination, defecation, sleep, hunger, thirst,etc, Consumption of food irregularly, Irregular sleeping habits, Talking in high pitch, Psychological disturbances
