How long does it take to recover from skin problems?

There is no unified standard answer. It can take just two weeks to recover to the point where no trace is visible. Severe chronic skin problems may even require 3-5 years of long-term maintenance. The core depends on the type of problem, the degree of damage and whether the conditioning method is correct.

Take the most common occasional acne breakout as an example. If it is a red pimple that pops up after staying up late for a week and eating spicy and sweet food every day. It does not break out in patches and is not so painful that it becomes hard. Adjust your work schedule and abstain from sugar for a week, and pair it with some legal anti-acne gel. 4. The acne will disappear in 5 days, and the remaining red marks will be almost invisible after using sunscreen in two weeks. Many 996 friends around me have had this experience. Last week I was worried about acne and couldn't attend the party, but this week I dare to go out without makeup.

But if you have a chronic problem that has been bothering you for a long time, it won’t be resolved so quickly. Many people always say, "I saw a certain blogger said that sensitive skin can be cured by using a certain product in 7 days." Every time I see this, I can't help but frown. We have to respect the physiological laws of the skin. A healthy epidermal metabolism cycle takes 28 days. How can the damaged barrier and chronic inflammation hidden in the dermis be improved directly by skipping the repair process? Those quick-acting products that claim to be effective within a few days are most likely to contain illegal hormones or peeling ingredients. They are smooth and smooth when you first use them, but the backlash will be more serious after you stop using them. A young girl born in the 2000s came to me for consultation. She used to exfoliate her skin with scrubs every day to remove blackheads, and also used high-concentration salicylic acid to follow the trend. Later, her face became moderately hormonal. Her face became red and hot when she was hot, and she broke out in rashes all the time. After almost a year of trouble, I started to streamline my skin care and only used repairing creams and gentle cleansers. In the first three months, I still had acne breakouts from time to time, but it was basically stable in the eighth month. Now that the seasons change, my face is no longer itchy.

Not all chronic problems have to last for several years, such as mild to moderate seborrheic dermatitis. If the cause is found to be the excessive proliferation of Malassezia, many people can stabilize it in two or three months by using antibacterial ointments and adjusting their washing and care habits. What delays things the most is the mentality of eagerness for quick success. I have just been taking good care of my skin for a week, and when I see that there are no visible changes, I turn around and try new Internet celebrity products or go for medical beauty treatments that are not suitable for me. Instead, I destroy the barrier of my newly grown skin. I have seen many problems that could be corrected in three or four months, but they continue to recur over two or three years.

To be honest, the skin is a living organ in our body, and it is not a decoration on the wall. It can be solved in a few hours by scraping off the damaged parts and applying a new coat of paint. You have to give it enough time to repair the problems you have accumulated after years of staying up late and working on your skin, right? Instead of asking how long it will take to heal every day, it is better to pay more attention to the condition of your skin and less tossing around, so that the recovery speed will naturally not be slowed down.
