The reason behind it is telomeres. To make it easier for you, let’s think of telomeres as the plastic caps at the end of the shoelaces. Those caps save the laces from tearing down. Similarly, the telomeres save the chromosomes from breaking down.

Every time a cell divides in our body, the telomeres get shorter in size. This leads to quick aging and increased risk of death.

Now, the good news is the ones who are more prone to acne have larger telomeres than the ones with ‘clear skin.’ This is what makes the signs of aging appear very late for them and prevents the skin from wrinkling and thinning.

The study was carried out on 1,205 female twins. The participants were asked if they had any pimple problem and if so how they dealt with them. Then the researchers measured their telomeres.

The survey had depicted that about a quarter of the twins had suffered from acne problems. They also had longer telomeres than the ones who never had a major pimple problem.

Obviously deeper study and research need to be done in this field but for the time being, we know that there is a link between women, telomeres, acne and slow aging.
