How long does it take for skin problems to get better? Girls

There is really no unified standard answer. It can disappear in three to five days for mild cases, and it is normal for serious cases to last for three to four years. I have been a skin care companion for almost 6 years and have seen too many different situations. I really can’t give you an accurate date.

Last month, a young girl who had just started working came to me. She had been exposed to the sun for two days during team building, and after working overtime for a week, she developed a red, swollen pimple, which was a little red and hot. I asked her to stop all whitening and anti-aging products, and use a mild amino acid cleanser + repair essence + repair cream every day. She relied on a hat and a mask to protect her from the sun. In just 6 days, the redness was gone and the pimples were reduced to only a few light marks.

But most of the cases that heal quickly are acute problems caused by temporary triggers. There are no major skin problems at all. As long as the triggers are removed and care is taken, the skin will recover quickly.

Many people have heard the saying that "skin has a metabolic cycle of 28 days, and conditioning can take up to 28 days to heal." In fact, this statement really only applies to completely healthy skin. If your own barrier has been damaged or has chronic inflammation, the metabolic cycle will be extended to 40 days or even longer. How can it be calculated according to the standards of healthy skin? I have met someone before who believed in the saying that recovery will be achieved in 28 days. On the 29th day, they felt that it was not working and stopped using the medical repairing lotion. They replaced it with the strong medicinal essence before. However, the barrier that was almost healed collapsed again, and it took half a year to recover.

If your skin problem has been lingering for a long time, such as cysts and acne that have been recurring for three or four years, or you have acne pits, stubborn pigmentation, or even combined with problems such as rosacea and seborrheic dermatitis, it really cannot be solved in a few months. When a girl came to see me last year, her face had been reddened by the mess of Internet celebrity acne products. Even washing her face with warm water hurt. She went to the dermatology department several times. She took medicine and applied medicine according to the doctor's instructions and added a streamlined skin care regimen I prepared for her. She occasionally had rashes in the first three months. It took a full 10 months to finally return to normal. Now I can switch to mild skin care products without any allergies.

Many people also think that the slower the skin conditioning process, the better. Fast-acting ones must have added hormones. This is too absolute. For example, if you have a red and swollen pimple that has just appeared, apply regular benzoyl peroxide gel and it will disappear in two or three days. This is the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect of the ingredient itself, and has nothing to do with hormones. You can't deliberately let the pimple stay on your face for half a month for the so-called "slow maintenance", right?

If there is any general rule, it is simply that the more urgent and new the problem appears, the better the skin foundation is and the faster it will heal.； The longer the problem drags on and the more you mess around with it, the longer it will take. Don’t look for any folk remedies that “remove acne in three days” or “reduce redness in one week” just for the sake of speed. In many cases, the speed is temporarily suppressed by hormones, and the problems that arise later can be ten times more serious than before. To put it bluntly, skin is just like human beings. It may only take a week or two if you damage it, but you have to give it enough time to repair it, right? It's faster to take your time.
