PENYEBAB JERAWAT

Sekilas tentang saya, dulu saya ini dijuluki "Lady pimple" sama adik-adik saya, lantaran di keluarga kami, hanya saya yang mukanya jerawatan. hal ini tentu saja sangat menyebalkan dan memberikan tekanan tersendiri untuk saya. Wajah berjerawat itu memang merupakan sebuah hal yang paling dibenci, terutama kaum wanita dan remaja. Selain menganggu penampilan dan merusak wajah, jerawat juga menimbulkan rasa sakit (apalagi kalo jerawatnya di jidad, bikin pening!).

Saya telah mencoba banyak cara untuk menghilangkan benda itu dari wajah saya, namun alhasil tidak ada hasilnya. usaha-usaha yang telah saya coba adalah maskeran dengan tomat dan timun hampir setiap hari dengan teratur. mengurangi konsumsi coklat dan makanan berminyak, pake gel penghilang jerawat (katanya ampuh banget dan udah ada buktinya), semuanya gagal! ibu saya sampai marah-marah, karena saya selalu mengeluh tentang jerawat. jerawat lagi, jerawat lagi!! kata ibu saya, "sabar aja ya nak, jangan mengeluh! semua itu ada waktunya, yang penting jangan mengeluh, dan selalu bersyukur." tapi saya selalu mengeluh karena jujur, saya sangat terganggu dengan adanya jerawat-jerawat yang terus tumbuh di wajah saya. Ternyata, sekarang, ketika wajah saya sudah jauh dari jerawat, saya telah menemukan akar masalah dari jerawat saya.

Dari dulu saya memang berdomisili di daerah yang panas, yaitu Banda Aceh. suhu yang panas dan gerah mungkin memicu kelenjar keringat bekerja ekstra, dan mungkin hormon pun begitu. jadi, pemicu jerawat nya adalah panasnya cuaca. namun ketika 2 tahun yang lalu sejak saya pindah ke bandung (suhu sejuk yah) jerawat saya sirna seketika. saya heran, itu terjadi begitu cepat tanpa saya sadari. wajah saya pun mulai bersih dan sekarang, jarang jerawat tumbuh. hal ini sungguh menyenangkan!! Jadi saya tau, penyebab jerawat bukan hanya dari faktor makanan, air, atau kosmetik, tapi juga suhu udara di mana kita tinggal.

Dan sebagai tips tambahan, segala sesuatu yang kita makan, akan memberikan efek lebih cepat dan efektif dibandingkan dengan hanya mengolesi sesuatu ke kulit. jadi, makanlah makanan bergizi yang tidak terlalu berminyak dan berlemak agar terhindar dari gangguan kulit. konsumsi buah-buah dan sayur-sayuran agar kulit tetap sehat terjaga, karena pengobatan dari dalam itu bisa lebih efektif dan kelihatan hasilnya.
