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

There is really no unified standard. For mild cases, obvious improvement may be seen in a week or two, while for severe cases, there are many cases where the symptoms persist for two to three years. I helped a few sisters organize their skin care records a while ago, and I felt particularly deeply.

A while ago, a little intern girl in the same department suffered from damage to the barrier created by the change of seasons and the whitening serum she used recently. Her cheeks were red and hot, and still felt bumpy to the touch. After being advised, she stopped all functional products. She only used the repairing essence and simple moisturizing cream every day, put a hat and mask on her face when going out, and even stopped using sunscreen for a week. In about 10 days, the redness was basically gone, and it was no longer as rough as sandpaper to the touch.

But my childhood friend was not so lucky. She had suffered from cystic acne since high school. In college, she followed the trend and bought a lot of Internet celebrity acne creams, which made her have acne-prone skin. Not only did she get cysts one after another, but she also had redness and peeling off at every turn. Even a cold wind would sting her for a long time. I went to the public dermatology department three times, followed the doctor's instructions and took medicine. I also took isotretinoin and had acne for half a month. It took almost a year and a half before I finally suppressed the roots of the acne. The red acne marks left behind are still being slowly metabolized. It will probably take half a year to fully heal.

Nowadays, many people on the Internet say that "the 28-day skin metabolism cycle can definitely correct skin problems." This is actually half right. 28 days is the epidermal metabolism cycle of healthy and young skin. If your own barrier has been broken like a leaky sieve, or if you have problems such as acne and rosacea that have involved the dermis layer or even endocrine problems, you can't expect that just changing the epidermis will be all right. That's not realistic, right? Some people think that "skin care can only be done by applying skin care products." However, the dermatologists I have contacted have repeatedly emphasized that many recurring skin problems are not on the skin at all, such as acne breakouts and chronic chloasma, which are inseparable from staying up late, high-sugar diet, and hormone fluctuations. Previously, a sister suffered from recurring acne for more than half a year, and then gritted her teeth and quit drinking a cup of iced milk tea every day. In less than half a month, the number of new acnes was reduced by half. Only by taking care of both the inside and outside can we avoid detours.

A few years ago, I believed in the propaganda of "seven days for whitening, fourteen days for acne removal". After going through a lot of pitfalls, I realized that conditioning the skin is actually similar to nourishing succulents. If it is just a lack of water and wrinkles, pour water thoroughly and let it rest in a sunlit place for two days to refresh. If the roots are rotten, you have to pruning the roots, drying them, replacing them with clean soil, and slowly waiting for them to take root again. There is no rush. If you really want to worry about how long it will take to get better, it is better to stop messing around and find out what the problem is, whether you are staying up late eating sweets while repairing it, and finding the right direction is faster. It is much faster than changing products and taking a long way.
