One reason for "all roads lead to the same goal" is that sebum secretion is too strong. Puberty is caused by excessive sebum secretion due to the increase of androgen, and sebaceous glands in hair follicles are blocked and inflamed, resulting in "acne". Adult, when nervous, irregular work and rest, unbalanced diet, or before and after menstruation, etc. , will have an impact on the nervous system and endocrine, causing fluctuations in hormone levels, causing irregular sebum secretion (excessive sebum secretion in some areas) and skin cell metabolism disorder (accumulation of dead horny cells, clogging pores), resulting in acne.
This physical state that can cause acne is also called "damp-heat stagnation" in Chinese medicine theory. In winter, people like to eat more "hot" and "warm" foods, such as heavy oil, spicy food, hot pot, seafood and mutton. , will aggravate the internal heat; Busy at the end of the year, students are nervous about preparing for exams and staying up late. It will also obviously cause "fire" and aggravate the occurrence of acne.
1, adjust the diet. Eat less "warm" food, eat more "cold" fruits and vegetables, drink more tea, and properly replenish American ginseng.
2. Relax. No matter how busy and tired you are, you should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest, so that you can have a relaxing time. For acne skin, remember "Don't look in the mirror"! -The more photos you take, the more acne you get. Can you believe it? Because you care too much about it (which is also a kind of nervousness), it is very excited and more active.
3. If acne erupts in a large area, in addition to seeking medical treatment from dermatologists, you should also seek Chinese medicine for conditioning.
Whether you see a doctor or not, it is very important to cooperate with the correct daily care-
Clean without residue and smooth pores.
Too much oil doesn't necessarily cause acne, but only by blocking pores, so cleaning is very important. The acne skin must be cleaned twice a day with cleansing products, and the "degreasing" (makeup removal) link should be added at night.
remove one's make-up
We still recommend cleansing oil, the gentlest cleansing oil with the least side effects-some male readers who don't wear makeup will try it with suspicion and write and say, "It's really reasonable to use cleansing oil to remove makeup, with fewer blackheads and fewer acne." However, we also noticed that many people actually got pimples after using cleansing oil. What is the reason?
The "acne-causing ingredients" in cleansing oil are mainly mineral oil, emulsifier and synthetic fat added to reduce the cost. FANCL purifies cleansing oil, and clearly promises that 100% vegetable oil can also be used safely for acne skin. Others, such as DHC Deep cleansing oil, AQUA Perfect cleansing oil, L 'Oré al Full Clean Deep Clean cleansing oil, etc. There are also favorable comments-you can try to remove your lip makeup when you buy it. If you feel numb and bloated, it means that the synthetic fat content in the product is too high, and the risk of acne increases accordingly.
Also pay attention to the method of use: the massage time should not be too long, and some friends will not stop until they "rub out grease particles"-this will only weaken the natural barrier function of the skin, stimulate the skin to be oily and prone to acne, and make the pores loose and bulky. In fact, just gently circle, massage the whole face, or feel the makeup (heavy makeup) floating.
If you don't like cleansing oil, it's milder and safer to use cleansing oil or a cream that can remove eye and lip makeup. Do not use makeup remover or makeup remover 2-in-1 1 product, which is more irritating and more likely to produce makeup remover residues to block pores.
wash
No matter which makeup remover you choose (including cleansing oil, who claims to finish cleansing synchronously), you must wash it again with cleansing products! It is best to choose mild and residue-free cleansing products for acne skin, such as FANCL acne cleansing flour, Neutrogena transparent cleansing soap or deep cleansing cleanser, and various soap-free "soaps", such as la roche-posay nourishing soap, Yang Ya soap-free moisturizing cleansing soap and Clinique liquid cleansing soap. Do not use cleansing products that contain mineral mud, abrasive particles or are too alkaline.
Mild cleansing products also include foam-free cleanser, such as Yang Ya Repair Cleanser, la roche-posay Tean Cleanser, Neutrogena Moisturizer, etc. , all have a certain makeup removal effect. If you don't wear makeup, you can also use them instead of makeup remover, but the same-be sure to wash them twice at night!
Finally, be sure to spend more time and wash off all the grease and dirt with plenty of clean water (the water temperature should be warm and not hot)-this is the "ultimate meaning" of cleaning the skin.
Therefore, from the perspective of internal adjustment, we should pay attention to the following three aspects:
Light and moist, no burden protection.
Even if the doctor says to you, "Stop using all cosmetics!" Please believe that safe and unburdened moisturizing and sun protection are not only necessary, but also beneficial and harmless.
If the acne is serious, you can only use simple moisturizing products and oil control products locally as needed, instead of pursuing whitening and anti-aging, even moisturizing products should not be too moist-that is not conducive to the repair and healing of acne. Low-fat or oil-free moisturizing emulsion and moisturizing gel are the best choices. If it feels dry in winter, it can be combined with moisturizing lotions such as FAN-CL, Clarins, AQUA and la roche-posay, and refreshing moisturizing essences such as -H2O+ 24-hour facial oasis essence, Vichy deep moisturizing essence and L 'Oré al all-day moisturizing essence, which can greatly enhance the moisturizing effect and is not greasy at all.
If there are only a few pimples sporadically, it is no problem to use moisturizing cream and whitening and anti-aging products, but it is still necessary to use less acne parts.
If you don't have a shiny face or acne, don't use acne series lotions (especially in winter), which will not help to repair acne, and sometimes it will have a negative effect.
All selected products should be "three noes": no perfume, no pigment and no (irritating) preservative. Finally, you should also protect yourself from the sun every day. Ultraviolet rays can also stimulate the activity of acne, which can stimulate acne marks to become spots. It is best to choose physical sunscreen products for acne skin, such as Avene natural sunscreen, FANCL30 sunscreen milk, Clinique crystal whitening sunscreen and so on. , the burden on the skin is minimal. If the acne is serious, at least use a hat to block the ultraviolet rays.
■ Do not stimulate acne and refuse acne marks.
After moisturizing, before sun protection, apply a little acne products to acne-this is a crucial step, but I don't know why, few people do it.
Topical drugs prepared by doctors, or "No.1" marked as local use in acne series: la roche-posay Acne Cleanser, Yang Ya Oil Removing Acne Cleanser, Vichy Oil Conditioning Acne Essence Cream, FANCL Acne Essence Dew, biotherm SOS Special Gel, Clinique Cleansing and Repairing Miller, L 'Oré al Acne Repair Miller, Appropriate Herbal Acne Repair Gel and Mentholatum Emulsion Acne Care. If acne begins to feel pain, add erythromycin eye ointment; You can also use la roche-posay Acne Repair Cream if you have frequent suppurative acne. As long as it is handled in time, it can eliminate acne and leave no trace.
Don't squeeze acne! If it is painless, non-suppurative and relatively large acne, you can go to the hospital for resection. If you have a big pustule, you must resist squeezing it-it will fall off by itself in a few days. The wound may be a little big when it falls off, but it is shallow. As long as you pat it with a cotton pad dipped in toner or wrap it in clean gauze for a while, the wound will soon converge and calm down. And if you squeeze acne, the wound may look smaller, but it is often compared?
Fruit contains many magical powers. Vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, combined with the mild characteristics of fruits, can bring unexpected double moisturizing effects to the skin.
Fruit mask or fruit lotion can be easily DIY at home, which is convenient and interesting. But I want to tell you, because the materials of fruit skin care products are generally natural fruits and vegetables, and because all natural products do not contain artificial additives, we should pay special attention to the shelf life, and it is best to make them now! If you can't use it all at once, you must put it in the refrigerator and keep it for no more than a week. When making, be sure to wash your hands first and keep the utensils you hold or use clean.
Generally, when I make a fruit mask, I usually add honey, pure olive oil or lemon juice to make it better for my skin. To increase the astringency and moisturizing degree of my skin and make my skin soften better. If it is dry skin, you can add a few drops of natural vegetable oil or honey to moisturize and nourish the skin, while oily skin needs a little lemon juice to converge and tighten the skin.
Dairy products and flour are often mixed in the mask. Milk can clean and whiten skin, while yogurt is rich in lactic acid, which can accelerate skin metabolism, be suitable for all types of skin, and increase skin whiteness, luster and elasticity. However, the fruit mask added with dairy products should be used and stored more carefully to avoid deterioration of the mask.
It should also be noted that not every fruit mask is suitable for you, because of different skin types and conditions! So you'd better do a skin test first. The method is to smear the finished product on the inside of the wrist and clean it after 5 to 10 minutes. If there is no redness or allergic discomfort, you can use it with confidence.
