How long does it take to treat skin problems?

There is really no standard answer to this question. It can return to normal in as fast as 2 weeks, or it may take 1 or 2 years to see significant improvement. It all depends on what problem you have, whether you have found the right direction for adjustment, and whether you can endure it and not act blindly.

Two years ago, I went to the botanical garden for a long time in the spring. When I came back from pollen, my face was so itchy that I broke out into a dense rash. Even my foundation was so stuck that I couldn’t even see it. I thought it would take me a month, but I listened to my dermatologist friend and started using the whitening and anti-aging essence in my hand. I stopped completely. I only applied repair-type creams in the morning and evening. I put sunscreen on my face when I went out. I even used a mild amino acid facial cleanser only once at night. After about 12 days, the rash was completely gone and the redness was almost gone. I couldn’t find any trace of the previous allergy unless I looked closely.

If you encounter more difficult problems, you will not be so lucky. There is still a lot of quarrel on the Internet about this matter. Many bloggers say that skin conditioning follows the 28-day epidermal metabolism cycle, and the effect will definitely be seen in one cycle. Many people also jumped out and said that their face has not improved even after taking hormones for half a year, saying that 28 days is just an IQ trick. In fact, there is nothing wrong with both sides. 28 days is the average metabolic rate of the epidermis of healthy young people. If you only occasionally suffer from temporary barrier damage and sporadic acne, if you take care of it honestly, you can indeed see significant improvements in one metabolic cycle, but if your Skin problems have damaged the dermis, such as old acne pits, hormone-dependent dermatitis that has been repeated for several years, and fixed red blood filaments that have formed. It is definitely useless to just wait for epidermal metabolism. You have to wait slowly for the repair of the dermis, which naturally takes many months or even years.

Two years ago, I met a young girl who was born after 2000. When she was in school, she bought a whitening mask for a few yuan a piece. After using it for half a year, her face became steroid-induced. Her face became red, swollen, and hot when the slightest irritation occurred. She spent more than a year trying to find a quick repair formula, such as Internet celebrity repair essence, folk repair essence, etc. I applied all the folk remedies on my face, but it got worse and worse. Later, I simply gave up the idea of "quickly" and listened to the doctor's advice. I only used medical repair creams and rarely applied facial masks. I also avoided sweets and spicy foods. I went through this for almost 20 months. Now I finally dare to wear sunscreen and light makeup normally, and my face will not turn red every time.

To put it bluntly, skin conditioning and stomach ailments are the same thing. Occasionally, I feel cold and have a stomachache after eating bad food. I drink warm porridge for two days and it will be relieved. If I develop a gastric ulcer due to irregular eating all year round, then I can't take care of it for a year and a half? There is no unified timetable. Always looking for shortcuts to rejuvenate your skin in 7 days and remove acne in 10 days can easily turn small problems into big troubles. Knowing more about your skin condition and finding the right direction and taking your time will save you much more time than rushing for a quick fix.
