Causes of closed cheeks

Many people in life love beauty very much, but various reasons will also affect people's skin condition. Some people have poor skin quality and are particularly prone to closed comedones. In cases like this, we should also pay attention to conditioning from all aspects. When conditioning closed comedones on the cheeks, we must be clear about the causes of the closed comedones, so that the problem can be solved fundamentally. So what are the reasons for closed comedones on the cheeks?

1. Drying

When the skin is not moisturized enough, the skin's metabolism will slow down, causing the formation of new skin cells to slow down, making it difficult for old dead skin cells to fall off normally, and as a result, they will accumulate on the skin's surface.

2. Ultraviolet rays

When the skin is exposed to strong ultraviolet rays, in order to protect the body from damage, the skin will become thicker, thus forming a keratin blockage. In addition, ultraviolet rays will accelerate the drying of the skin and become the culprit of keratin hypertrophy.

3. Friction

A lot of unintentional physical friction can also cause the accumulation of cuticles to become thicker, such as irritating the skin with your fingers directly without making bubbles when washing your face, and wiping your face vigorously with a towel after washing your face. Such friction will stimulate the skin's self-protection and cause the cuticle to thicken.

4. Vitamin deficiency

Vitamins are essential for protecting the skin, especially vitamin B and vitamin A, which are closely related to skin metabolism. If these two are insufficient, the growth of new cells will slow down, and without the maturation of new cells, old dead skin cells will remain on the surface of the skin.

5. Androgen

Androgens can also cause the cuticle to thicken. Although the reason has not been identified, the increase in androgens will indeed disrupt the balance between androgens and estrogens, causing the cuticle to thicken faster. If you often touch or squeeze them with your hands, or if you don't pay attention to cleaning them, closed comedones will become inflamed and filled with pus, turning into open comedones.
