1, know your skin.
Existing problems If you want to solve skin problems, you must first clear your mind, and you will naturally not be flustered after you have a clear mind. Knowing the current situation of skin, you should establish correct skin care demands and then choose targeted products. If the skin problem is complicated, you can consult more professionals, because many people will make mistakes in judging their skin problems, which will lead to the use of products that are not suitable for them and aggravate the skin problems. Therefore, before using any skin care products or treatments, this is the most important thing! Important! You must first accurately judge your skin quality and existing problems.
At present, the most authoritative skin classification in the world should be 16 skin classification, oily vs. dry, sensitive) vs. tolerant, pigmented) vs. non-pigmented, wrinkled) vs. This classification method is suitable for men, women and all races.
Only by clearly understanding your skin type and existing skin problems can you improve your skin condition more effectively.
Oiliness, sensitivity, pigmentation and compactness. In the following, I will call it OSPT for short.
Dry, sensitive, pigmented and wrinkled. I will call it DSPW for short later.
These two kinds are the most encountered in my consultation, and they are also more complicated to treat. Originally, I wanted to write the two types together, but because of too much information, I separated the two types. Today, I will focus on OSPT types. I used to have this type of skin myself, so believe me, I have experienced what you have experienced. Although this type of skin is very painful, you can have healthy skin as long as you clear your mind, adhere to scientific skin care and give your skin time and patience.
What's wrong with oily, sensitive, pigmented and firm OSPT skin? This skin type is characterized by:
1, easy to grow acne, and easy to grow acne with pus spots.
2, the skin is prone to redness, and some may have red blood.
3, it is easy to leave acne marks, and acne marks are difficult to fade, and the pattern of acne, acne marks and acne is repeated for a long time.
4. After using sunscreen, the face is easy to be oily, and it is difficult to choose a sunscreen or makeup product that suits you.
5. The area of acne and redness will become larger and larger.
6. The problem of dark circles is obvious
This is indeed a skin type that is easily frustrating. It seems that the skin has entered a vicious circle. There are pimples here or black spots there on the face. The new acne marks and the old acne marks have become one piece, and they are often at a loss. It is useless to change many skin care products, and I have tried medical beauty, but the effect is not ideal. People with this kind of skin are very prone to depression or social phobia, so if you have this kind of skin, you should actively adjust your mental state while conditioning your skin care.
Anyone who has experienced a bad face can cultivate a strong heart. Come on, babies!
The key to the treatment of this kind of skin is to solve one problem at a time, and the order is inflammation-sensitivity-pore blockage-pigment problem (acne marks or spots), just like a messy pile of wool. As long as you can sort out a clue, the following problems can be solved step by step.
Improvement of inflammatory problem If the inflammatory problem is moderate or severe, my suggestion is to combine oral antibiotics. At present, doxycycline has the best therapeutic effect on this kind of acne. For example, Huashan Hospital and the general manager of Air like to prescribe minocycline hydrochloride (a kind of doxycycline, a prescription drug, which needs to be used under the guidance of a doctor) for such people.
In addition, isotretinoin (Thales) is also a medicine that doctors often prescribe for this kind of skin, which has a good therapeutic effect on improving oil secretion and inhibiting the growth of acne bacteria, but pregnant or pregnant people must not eat this, which will lead to fetal malformation. In addition, this medicine has a heavy burden on the liver, so you must remember to check your liver function when you eat it.
If a person with severely blocked pores eats isotretinoin, there may be an outbreak, that is, acne is aggravated. Many people can't accept this outbreak and stop taking drugs, but in fact this outbreak is controllable. Communicate with doctors more. Thales is easily demonized by some ignorant netizens, but in fact, as long as it is taken under the guidance of a doctor, the side effects can be controlled within a safe range.
Choice of skin care products: If your doctor tells you to wash your face with water instead of anything else, I can tell you responsibly that this idea is wrong. In the treatment of this kind of skin, it is very important to choose targeted skin care products. Most of the treatment of acne in domestic hospitals only helps you control inflammation, lacking the awareness of maintaining the overall condition of the skin, which is why the recurrence rate of acne patients in China is high.
According to the survey, 60% of people will have the problem of recurrence after being treated in hospital, and said that they no longer trust hospitals and doctors. A good dermatologist's knowledge system should not be limited to drugs, but also store more knowledge of skin care products, chemical engineering and international advanced medical beauty and nutrition. Because skin problems usually do not occur alone, the treatment plan should be more comprehensive. You shouldn't just prescribe some medicine. Good doctors should pay attention to patients' skin care habits, diet structure and psychological state.
2, the choice of skin care products
In fact, it is simply two points: avoid ingredients that are not suitable for you+choose ingredients that are suitable for you. It's simple to say, but it's complicated to operate in practice. Here I have listed several ingredients and products that should be avoided and suggested.
Ingredients to be avoided: cocoa butter, decyl oleate, coconut oil, jojoba oil, isopropyl, silicone (because there are too many, I only list a few common ones).
Ingredients that help to improve inflammation: dipotassium glycyrrhizinate, nicotinamide, panthenol and bark extract of spotted flower.
Skin care products that I have tested contain the above anti-inflammatory ingredients: soothing mousse (panthenol, nicotinamide) and olefin B5 essence (panthenol, nicotinamide): I put these two together, and the ingredient list is beautiful, simple and targeted, but the use effect is disappointing, and the effect of improving redness is not obvious. Moreover, the moisturizing lotion is very general, only 60 points can be given, and there is nothing wrong with using it.
Beauty B5 essence (calcium pantothenate): Panthenol and calcium pantothenate are easily confused. Calcium pantothenate is VB5, and panthenol is a derivative of VB5. Panthenol is more helpful to acne muscles.
Dr. Ye Cheng's Oxygen-enriched Moisturizing Gel Cream (Dimethyl Glycyrrhizinate): A list of ingredients that blinded my eyes, and a series of anti-inflammatory and soothing plant extracts, such as the extracts of Centella asiatica, Dimethyl Glycyrrhizinate and Yao Jinniang, are all good anti-inflammatory and soothing ingredients, but the combination is mediocre. When I used them, I got some pimples. It is estimated that my skin stopped using after long-term use of skin care products with simple ingredients. Not suitable for moderate to severe sensitive skin.
BL Repair Essence (Panthenol): I have introduced this before, so I won't say much. Medical grade skin care products are very suitable for moderate and severe sensitive acne muscles. It is one of my essential essences all year round. I can evaluate various skin care products for work reasons. I am a sensitive muscle. If the skin I use is not suitable and has redness and itching problems, the skin condition will generally stabilize after a week of continuous use, so the more problematic the skin feels, the better.
Runbaiyan Repair Soothing Essence Milk (Spotted Flower Bark Extract): It is a series with Dabai, but this one contains Spotted Flower Bark Extract. This ingredient has a good effect on dermatitis caused by stress problems. This is the first time I have used a skin care product containing this ingredient, and its anti-inflammatory and repair effects have exceeded my expectations. Generally, I'm prone to allergies or acne in spring or when I'm under great pressure at work, but I'm using this one. It is very suitable for OSPT skin people who work and study under high pressure.
In addition, I like this series because it contains hyaluronic acid with molecular weight less than 10000 dalton, but it is very, very difficult to obtain hyaluronic acid of this order, so the hyaluronic acid on the market is basically macromolecular and mesomolecular hyaluronic acid, which can only stay on the skin surface to play an ordinary moisturizing role. Hyaluronic acid with molecular weight less than 65,438+0,000 Dalton can be absorbed by the skin and reach the dermis, which can delay aging and improve pores by stimulating fibroblasts to produce collagen. Only hyaluronic acid with this molecular weight can be called a "smear-type water-light needle", which can act on the dermis without causing wounds, which is really the gospel of sensitive muscles. Therefore, Dr. Guo, the founder of this technology, is also known as the father of hyaluronic acid in China and the winner of many patents.
The key to improve and rebuild the skin barrier function for sensitive problems is to relieve inflammation, avoid irritants (life, skin care products and cosmetics) and enhance the barrier function. Many acne muscles recur because this step is not done well. The function of skin barrier is to prevent external stimuli from entering epidermis and dermis, causing skin inflammation. There are inflammatory problems such as acne, allergies and eczema.
Antibiotics can only help you improve the existing inflammation problem. Once you stop using them, your skin barrier is still in an unhealthy state. If you encounter a little stimulation, your skin condition will return to before liberation overnight.
There are basically no drugs to improve the skin barrier, so don't expect your dermatologist to help you repair the barrier. Dermatologists want your barrier function to repair itself. Some conscious dermatologists may prescribe some Chuangfukang or Winona for you, but there are actually more barrier repair skin care products with better cost performance.
That's why I have repeatedly stressed that all skin problems should be solved as soon as possible. Don't believe what others (even your parents) tell you. After you get married and have a boyfriend (girlfriend), acne will naturally get better. Often the fact is that acne does not grow up, but also has large pores, acne pits and red blood spots.
Our skin has the ability of self-repair, and the skin barrier health has a critical point. If your injury degree is above this critical point, then maybe you don't need to use any barrier repair products, and you can recover only by the self-healing ability of your skin.
If you exceed this critical point (the degree of damage depends on your degree of inflammation and the time of inflammation), you must use a barrier that suits you as soon as possible to repair skin care products, otherwise your barrier damage will become more and more serious and the area will become larger and larger.
Improvement of skin blockage When you successfully pass the last two stages, your skin condition should be basically stable, with little or no acne and basically improved redness. At this time, you can choose some acidic skin care products or cleaning products to strengthen the metabolism of blocked pores. This stage aims to solve your blackheads and hoary heads. And the pores will be further improved.
Improvement of skin pigment When you enter this stage, you can safely improve your acne marks or spots. If your financial situation allows you to solve the problem directly by medical beauty (the article on improving acne marks by medical beauty has been discussed in detail before), but if you can't find a suitable doctor or the economic situation doesn't allow, you want to improve acne marks and pigments in a more conservative way, you can improve it through skin care products.
Skin care products mainly improve pigmentation from two aspects.
1 Inhibition of melanin production: mainly through inhibition of arginase, resorcinol, kojic acid, arbutin, licorice extract, VC and its derivatives.
2 prevent pigment transfer (from pigment cells to keratinocytes): nicotinamide, soybean component.
Regarding the above components, I just want to emphasize two points:
I personally like 1 nicotinamide, which has anti-inflammatory and whitening effects, but it is difficult to completely separate a component called nicotinic acid in the extraction process of nicotinamide, so you can hardly buy skin care products containing pure nicotinamide in the market, and it is only a matter of concentration, and nicotinic acid is an irritating component, which will lead to redness and sensitivity problems. This is why many people are prone to allergic redness when using products containing nicotinamide. It's not that you are building tolerance to nicotinamide as the seller said, but that nicotinamide is impure and you are allergic to nicotinic acid. The purity of Olay Brightening Essence and C 15 nicotinamide is not high, which is easy to cause sensitivity and redness.
2 Soybean extract, if you have chloasma, you must avoid using skin care products containing this ingredient. The estrogen-like structure in soybean components will aggravate the chloasma problem. So don't drink soy milk casually, and don't use skin care products containing soy ingredients casually. (The main ingredient of Dr. Ye Cheng's 377 is resorcinol, which contains soybean and nicotinamide. My evaluation of this product is that it has a good effect of lightening melanin, but it is not suitable for moderate and severe sensitive muscles. )
Skin care is a technical job. Take buy buy. I hope this article is helpful to you.
