Will this news reassure teenagers? Acne is good for your health. This is revealed by a study by a team of Franco-American researchers spotted by Mathilde Fontez, editor-in-chief of the scientific magazine To epsilon. Having spots is great for the skin.

Acne is caused by bacteria Cutibacterium acnes, and the appearance of pimples on the skin is linked to a poor communication between our skin and this bacterium. Yet, when all goes well, Cutibacterium acnes produces a whole cocktail of substances essential to the good health of our skin, explains Mathilde Fontez in her column on Franceinfo. Lipids – she multiplies them by three – such as free fatty acids, cholesterol, triglycerides, ceramides, which form a barrier against external aggressions. Acne bacteria help regulate temperature, they control water loss, acidity of the skin. »

Acne also acts as a barrier against pathogenic bacteria (staphylococcus aureus), as an anti-inflammatory and leads to the production of an acid to protect the skin from UVB rays. In short, only cool things for your skin except when the communication is scrambled. So these are big pimples that come to squat your cheeks or your forehead.
