Comedones on the Job. Acne and Work
Since we spend a good, if not the main, part of our time at work, the office becomes kind of a second home for us, while some of our work colleagues become kind of a second family.
On the other hand, this environment becomes as well the second place to which’s conditions our skin must accommodate. Our face’s skin and not only is always in contact with the environment; this is why we should pay attention to the substances with which we come into contact on a regular basis. We may expose ourselves to comedogenic, that is pore-clogging, substances on the job without even knowing it.
These comedogenic substances do not represent the main cause of our acne, but they can aggravate it.
For example, if we work in a fast food restaurant, the airborne grease from this environment can create an invisible film on our skin, clogging our skin pores.
Most of the industrial oils, such as the kinds used in cars, on bicycles or in different factories, are as well comedogenic substances.
So, we should spend just a small part of precious time in trying to find out whether we work or not in a comedogenic environment and whether we interact or not with comedogenic substances. If the answer is yes, we have two choices:
1. To stop working in that environment and to stop using those comedogenic substances
2. To start using special lotions and cosmetic masks for fighting against this environment’s effects on our skin.
