1. Know your skin type
If you want to solve the skin problem, you must first clear your mind, and you will naturally not panic after you have a clear mind. Under the condition of knowing the current situation of your skin, you should establish correct skin care demands, and then choose targeted products. If the skin problem is more complicated, you can consult more professionals, because many people will have deviations when judging their skin problems, which will lead to the use of products that are not suitable for them, which will aggravate the skin problems. Therefore, before using any skin care products or treatments, it is the most important! Important! You should first accurately judge your skin type and existing problems.
at present, the most authoritative skin classification in the world should be 16 types of skin classification, which are oily vs. dry, sensitive)vs tolerant, pigmented)vs non—pigmented, wrinkled)vs This classification method is suitable for men, women and all races.
Only when you know your skin type and existing skin problems clearly can you improve your skin condition more effectively.
oiliness, sensitivity, pigmentation and compactness. In the following, I will refer to OSPT
for dryness, sensitivity, pigmentation and wrinkle. I will refer to it as DSPW
in the following. These two types are the most frequently 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 type. I used to be this type of skin myself, so believe me, I have experienced what you have experienced. Although this type of skin is very painful, as long as you clear your mind, adhere to scientific skin care, and give your skin time and patience, you can also have healthy skin.
what are the oily, sensitive, pigmented and compact p>OSPT skin problems? The characteristics of this skin type are:
1. It is easy to get acne, and it is easy to get acne with pus spots
2. The skin is easy to redden, and some may have red blood
3. It is easy to leave acne marks, and the acne marks are difficult to fade, and it is easy to get acne for a long time.
6. The problem of dark circles is obvious.
This is indeed a skin type that is easy to make people depressed. The skin seems to have entered a vicious circle. Either pimples appear here or dark spots appear there. The new acne marks and old acne marks have been connected into pieces, and they are often at a loss. It is useless to change many skin care products, and some have tried medical beauty, but the results are not satisfactory. People with this kind of skin suffer from depression or social phobia very much, so if you are this type of skin, you should actively adjust your mental state while recuperating your skin care.
Anyone who has experienced a bad face can develop a strong heart. Come on, babies!
The key to the treatment of this skin type 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 pile of messy wool. As long as you can sort out a head, the following problems can be solved step by step.
Improvement of inflammation. If the inflammation is moderate to severe, my suggestion is to combine oral antibiotics. At present, doxycycline is the best treatment for this kind of acne. For example, Huashan Hospital and Air General Manager like to prescribe minocycline hydrochloride (a kind of doxycycline, which needs to be used under the guidance of a doctor) for this type of people.
In addition, isotretinoin (Thales) is also a medicine that doctors often prescribe for this type of skin. It has a good therapeutic effect on improving oil secretion and inhibiting the growth of acne Bacillus, but people who are pregnant or pregnant must not eat this, which will lead to fetal malformation. In addition, this drug has a heavy burden on the liver, so you must remember to check your liver function when you eat it.
If people with serious pore blockage eat isotretinoin, they may have an outbreak, that is, the acne will get worse. Many people stop taking the medicine because they can't accept this outbreak, but in fact, the outbreak is controllable, so communicate with your doctor more. The drug 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 clean water and don't use anything else, I can responsibly tell you that this idea is wrong. Choosing targeted skin care products is very important in the treatment of this type of skin. 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 very high.
According to the survey, 6% of people will have the problem of acne recurrence after being treated in hospital, and they said they no longer trust hospitals and doctors. A good dermatologist's knowledge system should not be limited to drugs, but should also store more knowledge of skin care products, chemical engineering and international advanced knowledge of medical beauty treatment and nutrition. Because skin problems usually don't occur singly, the treatment plan should be more comprehensive. You shouldn't just prescribe some medicine. A good doctor should pay attention to the patient's skin care habits, diet structure and psychological state.
2, the choice of skin care products
In fact, there are two simple points: avoiding ingredients that are not suitable for you+choosing ingredients that are suitable for you. It's simple to say, but the actual operation is very complicated. Here I list several ingredients and products that should be avoided and suggested.
ingredients that should be avoided: cocoa butter, decyl oleate, coconut oil, jojoba oil, isopropyl, and siling (I only list a few common ones because of too many)
ingredients that help to improve inflammation: dipotassium glycyrrhizinate, nicotinamide, panthenol, and bark extract of spotted flower
the skin care products that I have tested contain the above anti-inflammatory ingredients: Olefen Soothing. Nicotinamide): I put these two together. The ingredient list is beautiful, simple and targeted, but the use effect is quite disappointing. The effect of improving redness is not obvious, and the moisturizing liquid is very general, and only 6 points can be given. It belongs to the product that is not wrong but not very helpful. < P > Nicotiana B5 essence (calcium pantothenate): panthenol and calcium pantothenate are easily confused, and calcium pantothenate is VB5. Panthenol is more helpful to acne muscles
Dr. Chengye's oxygen-enriched moisturizing gel cream (dimethyl glycyrrhizinate): it blinks my eyes, and a series of anti-inflammatory and soothing plant extracts, such as Centella asiatica, dimethyl glycyrrhizinate and Yao Jinniang, are all good anti-inflammatory and soothing ingredients, but when they are combined together, they are flat. When I use them, I still have a few pimples, which is estimated to be the result of 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 about it. Medical-grade skin care products are very suitable for moderately and severely sensitive acne muscles, which is one of my essential essences all the year round, because I can evaluate various skin care products because of my work, and I am a sensitive muscle. If I use inappropriate skin and have redness and itching problems, my skin condition will generally stabilize after a week of continuous use. Therefore, the more problematic the skin is, the better it will feel. < P > Runbaiyan Repair and Soothing Essence Milk (Spotted Flower Bark Extract): It is the same series as Dabai, but this one is added with the ingredient of Spotted Flower Bark Extract. This ingredient has a good effect on dermatitis caused by stress problems. This is also the first time that I use a skin care product containing this ingredient, and the anti-inflammatory and repair effects exceed my expectations. Generally, when I am in spring or at work, the effect is very high. It is very suitable for OSPT type skin people who are working and studying under high pressure.
In addition, I like this series because it contains hyaluronic acid with a molecular weight of less than 1, daltons, but the technical difficulty to obtain hyaluronic acid of this magnitude is very, very great. Therefore, hyaluronic acid in 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 1, daltons 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, and it is really the gospel of sensitive muscles. Therefore, Dr. Guo Xueping, the founder of this technology, is also known as the father of hyaluronic acid in China, and is also 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 role of skin barrier prevents external irritants from entering the epidermis and dermis, causing skin inflammation. Inflammatory problems such as acne, allergies and eczema appear.
Antibiotics can only help you to improve the existing inflammatory problems. Once you stop using them, your skin barrier is still in an unhealthy state. If you encounter a little irritant, your skin condition will return to before liberation overnight.
basically, there are no drugs specially designed to improve the skin barrier, so don't expect your dermatologist to help you repair the barrier. Dermatologists expect your barrier function to repair itself. Some conscious dermatologists may give you some Chuangfukang or Winona, but there are actually more barrier repair skin care products with better cost performance.
This is also the reason why I have repeatedly stressed that all skin problems should be solved as soon as possible. Don't believe what others (even your parents) told you that acne will naturally get better after you get married and have a boyfriend (girlfriend) when you grow up. Often, the fact is that acne does not get better when you grow up, and there are also 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 damage degree is above this critical point, then maybe you can recover only by the self-healing ability of the skin without using any barrier repair products.
If it exceeds this critical point (the degree of damage depends on the degree and time of inflammation), you must use the barrier suitable for you to repair the skin care products as soon as possible, otherwise your barrier damage will become more and more serious and the area will become larger and larger.
improvement of skin blockage when you have successfully passed the last two stages, your skin condition should be basically stable, with few or no acne and basically improved redness. At this time, you can choose some acid skin care products or cleaning products to strengthen the blocked metabolism of pores. This stage is aimed at solving your blackheads and hoary heads. And the pores will be further improved.
skin pigment improvement 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 financial situation doesn't allow, you want to improve the problem of acne marks and pigments by more conservative methods, you can improve it by skin care products.
Skin care products mainly improve pigmentation from two aspects
1. Inhibit melanin production: mainly prevent pigment transfer (from pigment cells to keratinocytes) by inhibiting arginase, resorcinol, kojic acid, arbutin, licorice extract, and VC and its derivatives
2. Nicotinamide and soybean components
I just want to emphasize two points about the above components:
1. Nicotinamide and soybean components. However, 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 the impurity of nicotinic acid is only a matter of concentration, and nicotinic acid is a stimulating component, which will lead to redness and sensitivity problems. That's why many people are prone to allergic redness when using products containing nicotinamide. It's not that you are building tolerance for nicotinamide as the seller said, but that the nicotinamide is impure and you are allergic to nicotinic acid. Olay's bright white essence and C15 nicotinamide are not high in purity, so it 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 ingredients 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. Chengye's 377 is resorcinol, which contains soybean ingredients and nicotinamide. My evaluation result of this product is that it has a good effect of lightening melanin, but it is not suitable for moderate to severe sensitive muscles. )
Skin care is a technical activity. Take buy buy with you and buy it. I hope this article will be helpful to you.
3. Skin care products for sensitive muscles are recommended.
