SEBORRHEIC DERMATITIS TREATMENT

HOW TO TREAT SEBORRHEIC DERMATITIS?

Seborrheic dermatitis is a frequent skin alteration that causes desquamation (peeling) and redness of certain skin areas. It can affect the oily parts of the body such as the face, the alar wings of the nose, the eye brows, the ears, the eye lids and the breast and décolleté. Seborrheic dermatitis can also affect the scalp and the desquamation can be mistaken for dandruff, which is a different alteration.

In cases with seborrheic skin we can observe an imbalance of essential fatty acids (Omega 3, 6, 7 y 9) in the sebaceous glands. The altered skin fat causes inflammation, which results in alternating cycles of desquamation and skin redness. These cycles can cause a pulling sensation in the face. Therefore many people think that the skin tightness and desquamation they experience is related to dry skin. But the quality of the pores and the appearance of redness and desquamation in specific skin areas enable us to identify this skin problem as seborrheic dermatitis. These seborrheic skin alterations generally appear in cycles and are influenced by a variety of factors that stimulate the skin sebum leading to an aggravation of this skin condition.

SEBORRHEIC DERMATITIS PREVENTION

Nutrition: The fats we eat have a big influence on the quality of our skin fat. An excess of saturated fats, hydrogenated fats, fried and/or processed foods alter progressively the balanced composition of our skin sebum. Eating bad quality fats causes an imbalance between LDL and HDL cholesterol, which affects the arteries, the heart and also the skin fat. Furthermore this type of low quality nutrition will also lead to an Omega 3 deficiency. It is also very important to avoid cooking Omega 3 rich oily fish and meat at very high temperatures as the excessive heat causes the formation of possibly toxic oxidation substances, which can burden the liver if consumed frequently. We recommend avoiding the consumption of highly processed, rapid absorption sugars (sucrose, glucose and fructose), since a frequent ingestion can lead to diabetes, metabolic problems and accumulation of fat in the tissue. Many processed foods such as bakery items for example contain sugars, hydrogenated and/or trans fats, which alter the pancreas, the intestine and also the skin. An excess of gluten also increases metabolic imbalances.
Although eating small amounts of fruits is very healthy, drinking fruit juices is not and it’s especially bad in the morning. If we do not chew the fruit, we don’t take advantage of its fibres and/or cellulose, which are slowing down the sugar absorption.
Skin type: Thick skin, as well as oily and combination skin has a stronger tendency to suffer from seborrheic dermatitis. This condition can be further aggravated if the skin is subjected to a change of climatic conditions and/or a change in nutrition.
Thin skin can also be affected by seborrheic dermatitis. In this case, we recommend treating the dry skin in one way and the areas with redness and desquamation following the treatment for seborrheic skin.
Climate: The skin problems associated with seborrheic skin appear more frequently in cold climates and during the winter season, when sun exposure is usually less.
Vitamin D and zinc deficiency: The lack of sun exposure in autumn and winter increases the risk of vitamin D deficiency and can reactivate the appearance of seborrheic skin. We recommend getting a blood test to determine the vitamin D and zinc levels and follow the advice of your doctor concerning supplementation.
Hormonal system: An unbalanced hormonal system can cause the appearance of seborrheic dermatitis.
Emotional stress: The symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis can be caused or aggravated by emotional stress that affects the telomeres and the hormonal system. Severe emotional problems such as anxiety and depression affect the nervous system and in consequence cause skin-related symptoms.
Hereditary imbalances and deficiencies: Every person has a hereditary legacy that influences our deficiencies. Our hormonal imbalances directly relate back to all that we have lived and consumed. From the time in our mother’s belly to early childhood and adolescence, we accumulate nutritional as well as emotional deficiencies. We cannot change the past, but if we understand our development, we can make better decisions for the future. It is important to realise that these deficiencies do not only affect the skin, but are also having a negative impact on the entire body.
It is very important for people with seborrheic skin to take care of their health correctly in order to recover a balanced and healthy skin. As these imbalances have been created over a long period of time, we need to understand that they will not disappear in a day or a week. With a lot of patience and perseverance we need to treat the skin from the inside as well as the outside to achieve profound and long lasting improvements.
Skincare products: There may be various factors that cause or contribute to the development of seborrheic skin. Certain skincare and skin cleansing products can aggravate seborrheic dermatitis. Cleansing products such as soap, foam and gels with an alkaline pH or if they contain synthetic or chemically modified ingredients, can irritate and weaken the skin.
Skin alterations are frequently already present below the surface and they can become visible when we use products that activate the skin’s natural elimination process. Mixing various brands and ingredients, applying too much product quantity and/or applying the products with fast, rubbing movements can bring an underlying skin condition to the surface. We therefore recommend to use small amounts of LE PURE products, which nourish the skin profoundly without depositing substances that the skin cannot recognise.
Products with chemically modified substances create a layer on the skin surface mimicking hydration and nutrition, but do not nourish the skin from the inside. When we apply a truly nourishing, fast absorbing LE PURE product for the first time the sensation is different. The product does not stay on the skin surface and therefore some people may think that it does not hydrate or nourish the skin correctly. But it is quite the opposite as LE PURE products nourish the deeper layers of skin and therefore provide a more effective skin regeneration from within. When starting this treatment for seborrheic skin, you need to for some time (at least 21 days) to see the first results. At the same time you need to start addressing the other underlying causes to achieve profound and long lasting results.
It is important to be very consistent during this process and to balance the skin without applying synthetic or chemically modified fats (also avoid makeup and sunscreen with these bad fats). Your skin without these fats may experience more dryness than before. The desquamation (peeling) of the skin is part of the natural repair process. The selected LE PURE products to treat seborrheic skin contain specific nutrients to restore the skin’s natural balance.
When switching from products with unhealthy fats to LE PURE products, you will notice the difference as these pure ingredients do not create a layer on your skin. The skin can breathe freely and regenerate faster. It is possible to feel a pulling sensation on the skin, which is due to the fact that we removed the layer of artificial fats. You can now feel the real state of your skin and this feeling may be uncomfortable in the beginning until the skin regains its natural balance. Going back to creams with modified fats that clog the pores will bring only temporary relief. We would only camouflage the real underlying problem, which will get worse and come to the surface eventually.
Covering the skin with bad quality fats can cause enlarged pores, blackheads, pimples and a pulling sensation.
As a complementary treatment we recommend the application of one ampoule of zinc and copper from the brand Labcatal. Apply the content of the ampoule once per week at night on the entire face.
Hair dyes can also have a negative effect on the skin that is exposed to it (scalp and hairline). Hairdressers that are frequently in touch chemically modified products can also be negatively affected.
Skincare application techniques: Manual skincare routines, meaning the way we touch our skin, are extremely important in the case of seborrheic dermatitis. Energetic rubbing and massaging stimulates the sebaceous glands, which increases skin fat production and causes increased redness in the area. It is essential to sit down while cleansing the skin to avoid any irritation. Follow our Antiaging Face Cleansing video for more information.
Alteration of the liver & gallbladder: In case of problems with the liver and/or the gallbladder we can often observe a hyperpigmentation of the skin. If these two organs have to work excessively to purify our body, dark spots are often one of the side effects. Unbalanced nutrition can burden the liver and therefore we recommend revising the person’s diet. Overtime, the consumption of sugar (in all its forms), juices and bad fats can negatively affect the liver. Also the way we prepare the food has a big impact on the liver. Cooking foods that contain Omega 3 (fish, meat) in a pan at high temperatures (with or without oil) converts the Omega 3 in toxins that burden the liver. In case of an overworked liver we have to undergo a gentle and slow detox process. When we activate the purification process of the liver, some pimples on the skin may occur. We don’t recommend stimulating a strong and excessive liver purification. The tissue of the liver renews very slowly and therefore it is advisable to undergo a gentle yet prolonged purification process during various months. We recommend ingesting one dose of NutriProtect Detox in the morning (check with your doctor taking any supplements).
Immune System: An irregular response of the immune system can also be one of the leading causes of seborrheic skin. This can also be related to a vitamin deficiency.
Alcoholism & tobacco: Even if you stopped smoking 1-2 years ago, your skin is still suffering from the consequences and may peel like a snake. The skin is intrinsically connected to the intestine and the lungs, which is why we can often observe skin symptoms if there is a problem with one of these two organs. The more years you have smoked, the more changes your skin will experience. Right after stopping, we can observe the biggest changes. The skin acts as the third kidney and starts to eliminate the tobacco toxins.
Fungi: A fungus called malassezia can be found in the sebum secretion (skin fat) and it can also appear in case of seborrheic skin.
Allergies: Many people suffer from allergies caused by the air they breathe. These allergies can cause or aggravate seborrheic dermatitis. If the problems with seborrheic skin appear for the first time in spring or summer, an allergic reaction can be a possible aggravating factor. During these allergy related seasons some people may also suffer from dermatitis on the eyelids.
Medication & supplements: If up to three months prior to the appearance of seborrheic dermatitis you have taken a medication or nutritional supplement, we recommend revising all components as one of them may cause or aggravate seborrheic skin. Also a change in diet or the way you prepare your food (juices, smoothies, cooking Omega 3 at high temperatures) can negatively affect the composition of your sebum (skin fat).
