Donation problem after Diwali
Four to five days after Diwali, when I looked in the mirror, I saw two-three red pimples on my chin. Someone in the house immediately said, 'This is what will happen if you eat so many sweets.' Hearing this, I felt sad as to why I ate so much sweets during Diwali. However, this is partially true. Eating sweets can cause acne, but stress during festivals, heavy make-up and carelessness in skincare can also be responsible for it. Let us know why rashes appear on the face after Diwali.
Relationship between sweets and acne
For many years, doctors believed that diet had nothing to do with acne. But now the situation has changed. According to 2016 guidelines from the American Academy of Dermatology, new research suggests that foods with a high glycemic index, which rapidly increase blood sugar, may be linked to acne. Sweets, white bread, flour products and sweet drinks fall in this category. The guidelines also note that there is limited evidence on some dairy products, particularly skimmed milk. Therefore, acne cannot be blamed solely on diet.
Reasons for rash after Diwali
There can be many reasons for rashes after Diwali. Stress is a major reason for this. Preparing for the festival, hosting guests, shopping and working till late night. Additionally, heavy makeup and sleeping without washing your face due to fatigue can also clog pores. Touching the face repeatedly can also cause acne. It is common for dirt and oil from hands to reach the face between lamps, rangoli and dishes.
What to do if a rash appears?
If rashes have appeared on the face, some simple measures can be taken. Wash the face twice a day, and after sweating, with a mild cleanser using fingertips. Do not rub with a towel or sponge. The pimples should not be pressed, burst or scratched, because this takes time for the pimples to heal and increases the risk of formation of blemishes. Avoid toners and scrubs that contain alcohol, as they can dry out the skin and increase acne. When choosing a sunscreen, choose a non-comedogenic option that won't clog pores. Also, after returning from a wedding or party, no matter how tired you are, do not forget to remove makeup before sleeping.
