The skin is an introduction to the outside world. But often it is very difficult to avoid leaving spots or acne.

One of the main causes of the emergence of pimples and acne on the skin is due to excess production of progesterone.

The days before the menstrual period are more likely to leave these small grains, since the increase of progesterone causes increased accumulation of fat, sebaceous glands become blocked.

Hormonal imbalances. Hormones are suffering at every moment unstable low altitudes.

These changes are not old, that is, although they are more common among teenagers, no one gets rid of them, or at forty-much less in adolescence.

Poor feeding. Not all foods are equal and everyone is so harsh to the skin such as chocolate, pasta, sausages or spicy food. If you want to avoid those pesky blackheads and pimples, forget about them.
Hygiene.

Remember that acne is a matter of fat accumulation in the skin and fat that if our skin is added to the outer fat (pollution, dirt), the result can be disastrous. Therefore, it is advisable to wash your face as often as possible.

There is no foolproof treatment for acne, although many specific creams and ointments can help, but before choosing randomly is advisable to talk with your doctor.

A person can have 70 years but one body and one’s own cells 50, or vice versa. The first is the chronological age, that in the DNI and is celebrated with cakes and candles.

The second is the biological age and is marked by cellular aging. Now a group of scientists has just identified for the first time, some genetic variants associated with the latter age of humans, a discovery that opens new avenues to investigate some age-related diseases. The researchers, led by Professor Nilesh Samani, Department of Cardiovascular Sciences at the University of Leicester (UK) carried out an analysis of more than 500,000 genetic variations in the human genome in two European cohorts with 2,917 participants and then verified their findings in 9,492 other participants.

What they have discovered, it is said in the journal Nature Genetics, are some variants, all based around the same gene, the third-that make people who carry them have shorter telomeres. Telomeres are part of the chromosomes and its length is considered a marker of biological age. Shorter, more ‘old’ do to our body.

According to the authors, the telomeres are strong genetic determination, between 40% and 80% – and although we are all born with a certain length of these structures, then is changing as a birthday, and cells are dividing. “What we have done is identify a genetic variant that telomeres shorten and make them biologically older” Samani said.
