What is inflammation
Inflammation, which is what we usually call "inflammation", is a defensive response of the body to stimulation, manifested as redness, swelling, heat, pain and dysfunction.
When an external stimulus causes damage to the human body, the skin's immune system initiates a signal to fight against the damage factor and to warn of excess tolerance.
After the skin is stimulated, the inflammatory factors produced will activate the repair of human immune cells. This process will produce a large number of oxygen free radicals, which are easy to produce various
kinds of problems, such as acne, sensitivity, red blood, etc.
Manifests of inflammation
RednessDue to arterial hyperemia at the beginning of inflammation, local oxygenated hemoglobin is increased, and the skin appears bright red.
Swelling:It is mainly due to exudate, especially inflammatory edema. In chronic inflammation, tissue and cell hyperplasia can cause local swelling
Fever:Arterial hyperemia and enhanced cellular metabolism lead
Pain:Pain can also be caused by swelling of skin tissue that presses on nerve endings, or by severe damage to the skin barrier.
Causes of skin inflammation
exogenous
Physical factors: such as high temperature, low temperature, radiation, ultraviolet rays, etc;
Mechanical factors: such as cutting, impact, extrusion, etc;
Biological factors: such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, etc;
Chemical factors: such as corrosive substances, pine oil, mustard gas, etc.
endogenous
Immune response: various allergic reactions can cause tissue and cell damage, which can lead to inflammation
Inflammatory mediators: chemical factors that mediate inflammatory reactions, which promote vasodilation, increased permeability, leukocyte infiltration and phagocytosis;
Harm of inflammation
Inflammation has a great impact on the skin. Inflammation is also divided into [acute inflammation] and [chronic inflammation]]
-acute inflammationIt is an immune defense against external stimuli, and will feel flushing, tingling, edema, burning, and persistent itching in a very short period of time.
-chronic inflammationIt is a non-infectious process that does not cause strong lightning immune response. It lasts for a long time, ranging from constant months to several years, and is often dominated by proliferative lesions.
There is no obvious red hot and tingling in the epidermis, but the skin care is inadequate. Studies have shown that aging is also a systemic, chronic inflammatory process.
Chronic inflammation weakens the skin barrier, strengthens epidermal water loss, affects the growth of keratinocytes, and exacerbates sensitivity problems. Simultaneous destruction of collagen
And hyaluronic acid and other structures, directly affect the deep metabolic rate and cell vitality, is the current anti-aging research, a very critical major damage.
Skin problems caused by inflammation
pigmentation--Inflammatory skin is more vulnerable to ultraviolet rays from the sun, so the body will secrete black preventively.
Pigment to protect it from UV damage, which is post-inflammatory color sink.
Pimple blain--When the pores are blocked and inflammation is caused by the invasion of inflammatory factors, red acne will grow, even if red acne
Faded, will also leave red acne marks.
Peel--If the skin in the face of external stimuli is larger, inflammatory factors will take advantage of the chaos momentum, the release of excessive serine
Protease, destruction of the skin stratum corneum, desquamation.
Aging--Inflammation activates enzymes in the dermis, such as matrix metalloproteinases, which break down collagen fibers and hyaluronic acid in the dermis.
Polysaccharides, lead to large pores, wrinkles, skin relaxation, is the so-called "inflammatory aging"
Sensitive skin--Inflammatory skin does not get timely anti-inflammatory soothing calm, become fragile and sensitive, it will
More susceptible to the stimulation of inflammatory factors, aggravating inflammation
Red--When inflammatory factors take advantage of the situation, subcutaneous telangiectasia, a large number of immune cells and anti-inflammatory factors
Helps the tissue repair itself, and signs of redness appear on the surface of the skin
Anti-inflammatory = Antioxidant
-Inflammation is the body's immune response. If you indulge your body in a state of chronic inflammation for a long time, you may bury various
Dangerous seeds, even deadly diseases.
-Oxidative stress occurs during the inflammatory response and reduces the antioxidant capacity of cells. Therefore, it can also be said
Anti-inflammatory is in the antioxidant. The oxidation of the skin is manifested by the gradual growth of plaques and more and more wrinkles, the oxygen of blood vessels.
The manifestation of hardening or embrittlement of blood vessels, and oxidation of the brain is manifested as memory decline.....
Oxidation and inflammation occur almost simultaneously
The human body has two great defense walls. The first thing is the immune system. It is the "defense force" of the human body to resist diseases and is responsible for resisting external invasion. This is innate;
The second is the antioxidant system, which is the body's "police" against disease and is responsible for eliminating civil strife, which needs to be built and strengthened the day after tomorrow.
We live in an age of oxidation. If a cell is oxidized, its structure, shape and function change. The body's immune system can't recognize oxidized cells.
Start a civil war "and send immune cells to attack and kill them. As a result, these oxidized cells will undergo qualitative changes and become inflammatory cells.
So inflammation and oxidation go hand in hand, and we can even rename inflammation as oxidative inflammatory stress, or inflammatory oxidative stress, or the oxygen-inflammatory response.
How to make an effective anti-inflammatory
Reduce irritant exposure (exogenous):Avoid skin irritation caused by various factors in the external environment as much as possible, such as avoiding exposure to the sun and maintaining
The room environment is clean and tidy, less places with serious environmental pollution, etc., to reduce excessive contact with biological factors and skin
Reasonable diet, regular work and rest (endogenous):Light diet, adequate sleep is the key to internal tone. Usually should maintain moderate exercise, eat more on the diet
Foods containing anti-inflammatory or antioxidant ingredients. They are rich in VC, B- carotene, anthocyanins, lycopene, tea polyphenols, Q-3 fatty acids
scientific skin care:
Do a good job of moisturizing: skin water content is the basis of metabolic renewal, but also the bottom of the pyramid of skin care needs, want effective anti-inflammatory, moisturizing is the key
Repair barrier: It is recommended to use sensitive muscle repair products to repair damaged skin and relieve skin inflammation.
③ Strong barrier: enhance skin tolerance, reduce epidermal over-sensitivity, the higher the defense, the more powerful the skin barrier, the more difficult it is to cause inflammation
Anti-inflammatory:Usually there are a lot of small inflammation is actually very difficult to be found, so the use of a certain anti-inflammatory and soothing effect in skin care products is actually very necessary
Antioxidative:Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant and the two cornerstones of high-order skin care, metabolic free radicals are also the "killer" of skin inflammation, so
Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant should be carried out at the same time. If the above two tasks are done well, the whitening, anti-aging and hydrating will get twice the result with half the effort.
The treatment of inflammatory skin problems has always been a thorny problem. Anti-inflammatory is obviously should be in the first place, the skin micro ecological balance also
The important thing is that the relationship is interlocking, just like dominoes, one falls, and the subsequent chain reaction immediately follows.
Must be scientific care, healthy work and rest, reasonable diet, happy mood, in order to really improve the problem of skin, get rid of skin problems repeatedly.
