Tweet
Ephesians 5:25
Husbands, love your wives, just
as Christ also loved the church
and gave Himself for her.
When I was teenage buff like 13ish or something I do had a little problem with zits, but I never let it ruin my face. So, what I did seeks for the solution, tried, tried, and tried all products selling on beauty products shelves, or drugstores reading lots of lots of magazine to know the remedy. Well, luckily I'm over it.
I thought zits is just a common problem for a tropical country like Philippines for we only had dry and rainy seasons, which is when it is dry it is what you called "summer" a "hot grilling days" for a few more months starting on march onwards till august or if fate allows in between months there is rains. So, basically people sweats out more than the other cold countries which is sometimes break-outs face skin and tend it to be a lot more oily that causes pimples, but I find myself wrong in my own myths and there is other main reasons or cause of it.
Last time my sisters, her husband along with her children came last January for a short stint vacation in the Philippines (they had beautiful, handsome lovely kids) not because she is my sisters. Anyway, 2 of her kids had suffered zits actually it's acne problem I am surprised about this then I found out that they had lack of sleep that tend their skin to breaks-out and its give bad acne. So, what is the cause of their sleep deprivation nonetheless their computer gaming addiction.
I had quoted here a few important information regarding sleep and inflammation.
Sleep and inflammation
Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism reports
A lack of sleep increases inflammatory cytokines. This helps explain why pain flare-up occurs in response to sleep deprivation in various disorders. Even modest sleep restriction adversely affects inflammatory cytokine levels. In a carefully controlled study, sleep deprivation caused a 40-60% average increase in the inflammatory marker IL-6 in men and women, while men alone showed a 20-30% increase in TNF-a. Both IL-6 and TNF-a are potent pro-inflammatory cytokines that induce systemic inflammation.Endocrinol Metab Clin North Am. 2002 Mar;31(1): pp.15-36
So, if you love your skin, might as well love yourself don't deprive yourself from a good sleep, don't exchange sleep with some bad habits like computer gaming, internet addiction, partying late, vices (like smoking, drinking alcohols) or some stuffs that tends you to sleep very late, only if it's very important matters that require you to sleep late.
A man who finds a godly wife
Is blest beyond compare;
She is his greatest prize in life--
A treasure rich and rare. --D. De Haan
