Why is the skin on the face not as good as that on the body?

This is multifaceted. On the one hand, there are many sebaceous glands in the skin on the face, and on the other hand, the skin on the face has been damaged by ultraviolet rays for a long time, which finally caused man-made damage to the skin on the face.

A person's face is the most important window to the outside world. When we look at a person, the first thing we see is her face. If the face looks good, everyone will have a natural affection for this person. But unfortunately, the skin on many people's faces is not very good, at least not as good as the skin on other parts of the body.

Let's look at each item separately.

First, there are many sebaceous glands on the face.

At the beginning of adolescence, under the action of hormones, we began to secrete a lot of oil. Too much oil will block pores, and then bacteria will multiply, and the discharged metabolites will cause skin inflammation.

Sebaceous glands on people's faces are more distributed than other parts of the body, so oil is more likely to block up and form blackheads. Comparatively speaking, there are not so many sebaceous glands in other parts of the body, except that there may be more sebaceous glands in the chest and back, and there are basically few others. But there are not as many sebaceous glands in the chest and back as in the face.

Second, long-term exposure to the air.

The frequency of exposure of other parts of the body to ultraviolet rays is incomparable to that of the face. Our faces are exposed to the outside 365 days a year, and our facial skin is exposed to the air 24 hours a day, which is much more serious.

I remember there was a comparison chart on the Internet. The face of a driver who has been driving a large truck for a long time by the window is obviously looser and darker than the face on the other side due to decades of sun and wind, and the aging trace is very obvious.

Various factors, such as ultraviolet rays, particulate matter, etc. , can't make facial skin better.

Third, the role of human beings.

It is inevitable that dust will accumulate on our faces because of long-term contact with the air, and then everyone will try to clean up these dust, grease and other things. The commonly used methods are various chemical products, such as soap facial cleanser, which has a good cleaning effect and makes the face look cleaner. However, when they take away dust and oil, they also take away moisture and the like on the skin surface. The cutin of facial skin is relatively thin. If it is damaged by cosmetics for a long time, it will become thinner and thinner, and the speed of skin aging will become faster and faster.

There is a joke on the internet that people spend so much money to care for their faces, which is not as good as the skin on their buttocks that they never care about. Spending money may not be effective.

Actually, this is normal. The skin on the face has experienced more "storms" than the skin on the body. It is really difficult to make the skin on the face and the skin on the body so well. For many people, everyone's thousands of skin care makes your face more and more sensitive, but it ages faster.
