What are the methods to treat skin problems?

In fact, for most skin problems that are recurring and difficult to heal, the core of conditioning is not to follow the trend and buy Internet celebrity products, but to identify the root cause of the problem first and then adjust accordingly. Trying random methods can easily turn healthy skin into a "bad face" with repeated sensitivity.

A while ago, I came into contact with a 22-year-old girl whose cheeks were repeatedly red and had red and swollen acne that felt hard to the touch. She tried applying acid at home and applying whitening masks for half a year. When she came, her cuticles were so thin that the cold wind stung her. In fact, her problem was not oily acne-prone skin at all, but a barrier. The inflammatory reaction associated with the damage caused her to stop all functional products and use a simple ceramide cream and hard sunscreen. The redness was reduced by 70% in three weeks. Later, she applied an anti-acne gel locally, and the acne was almost flat in two months, and even the red acne marks left before were much lighter.

Many people tend to attribute skin problems to "useless skin care products". In fact, the root cause of many problems does not lie on the surface of the skin at all. For example, people who are constipated all year round and like to eat high-sugar foods have recurring cystic acne. If you only apply acne cream and keep it down for a while at most, as long as you continue to eat high-sugar milk tea and fried skewers, acne will definitely pop up after half a month. At this time, the role of internal regulation will be revealed.

Nowadays, there is quite a controversy about internal adjustment. Many professionals say that oral beauty products are a tax on IQ. Many people also posted comparison pictures of their skin after taking collagen for half a year and their skin is more delicate. My feeling after contacting it is that if you drink it during your daily routine, If you eat a mess, stay up until two or three o'clock every day, and eat heavy takeaways, no matter how many collagen drinks you drink or how many whitening pills you take, it will be useless. It is better to adjust the three meals to lighter meals, sleep enough for 7 hours a day, and it is certain that your face will not turn yellow or oily for half a month.； But if you have a regular diet and work schedule, but you still have problems with dullness and looseness, you can really see the effect by supplementing with legal antioxidants and collagen supplements. I have a sister who is a planner. She stays up late all year long to meet the plan. She has tried her best to control her diet, but her face is still slumped and yellow. I followed the doctor's recommendation and took three months of multivitamins plus astaxanthin. My face has indeed become brighter, and there are no endocrine disorders reported online.

Oh, yes, there is another pitfall that many people have stepped on. When their face feels dry, they apply hydrating masks like crazy, or even apply two masks a day. In fact, this is completely counterproductive. Just imagine the dry land. Just pour water on it. When the water evaporates, it will take away the moisture of the soil itself, making the cracks worse. You have to loosen the soil first, and then cover it with a layer of water-retaining mulch, right? The same is true for your skin. When the season changes and you feel dry, itchy and stinging, first apply a layer of repair essence with ceramides and squalane as a base, and then apply a layer of slightly stronger occlusive cream to lock in moisture. It is much more effective than applying a mask for a week. When I had allergies last spring, my face was so dry that it became powdery and sticky. After three days of doing this, the itching was completely gone. I didn’t dare to use any hormone ointments, and it slowly recovered.

Nowadays, the evaluation of acid treatment and light medical beauty methods on the Internet is extremely polarized. Some people say that acid treatment has saved their face and shut up. Some people say that acid treatment has directly made them sensitive skin. In fact, it is not a question of method at all, but a question of adaptability. For healthy skin, use about 0.5% salicylic acid to lightly apply a layer of T-zone once a week. It can remove dead skin cells and prevent cleft lips. However, if you have sensitive skin that is prone to redness, it would be strange if you use high-concentration acid to brush the entire face. The same goes for projects such as photorejuvenation. Some people have great results in brightening and shrinking pores, while others are left with darkening and redness. The essence is that they have not found the right project that suits them, and the organization that operates it is not formal.

In fact, after all, there is really no one-size-fits-all method for skin conditioning. The most useful thing is to "understand your own skin condition first" which is most easily ignored by everyone. Don't just put whatever you want on your face, it will be more effective than buying ten bottles of expensive essence.
