1, wash your face correctly.
Soap cleansing is based on alkaline soap, which has good cleaning power, but it will also destroy the sebum membrane that originally protected our skin and damage our skin barrier. Beauty seekers should choose gentle cleansing products to wash their faces, and gently wash the old waste keratin left in pores together with pollutants. If you wear heavy makeup, you need to do a good job of removing makeup and then carefully clean every corner of your face.
Do not wash your face more than three times a day for acne skin. Excessive cleaning will stimulate our sebaceous glands to secrete too much oil, which is one reason why you find that the more diligent you wash your face in summer, the more oily your face becomes. When the skin is in a weak acid state, the viable beneficial bacteria on the skin can inhibit the reproduction of bacteria that will cause secondary infection; If you wash your face with soap, it will make the pH value of your skin alkaline, but it will cause secondary injury and aggravate the situation of acne.
2, regular exfoliation and deep cleaning
Acne usually occurs when pores are blocked due to keratinization. Pore blockage will lead to sebum secretion can not be discharged smoothly, thus forming an anoxic microenvironment for bacterial growth. Therefore, the first step of acne care is to clean the blocked pores, and exfoliation is one of the methods. But deep cleaning should not be too frequent, otherwise it will irritate the skin, make sebaceous glands more developed and acne more serious. Do moisturizing care immediately after application, and apply water emulsion in time.
3. Moderately regulate sebum secretion and use products containing antibacterial ingredients.
In a word, acne is a chronic recurrent inflammatory reaction of sebaceous glands. Excessive sebum secretion cannot rule out that sebum is the cause of acne. Bacillus acne is propagated by eating sebum, that is, without sebum, there will be no acne. The exuberant oil secretion is also due to the imbalance between water and oil. Besides staying up late, it is also important to replenish enough water every day.
The acne muscle needs to be combined with internal adjustment and external use, because acne is not only related to skin quality and environment, but also related to self-endocrine. For example, irregular diet and unreasonable work and rest will make your internal disorder and cause problems in your blood circulation. Some toxins will also accumulate in your body and cannot be excreted. After a long time, these problems will show up through your skin, such as acne. Therefore, not staying up late, not eating irritating food and exercising regularly are the healthiest solutions, but how many people can do it?
Followed by skin quality. Some people say that there is a certain correlation between skin quality and the inside of the body, which also makes sense, but it is essential to care for the skin. For example, oily skin is prone to acne, so if you want to solve acne, you must first solve your own skin problems, such as oil control, cleaning, acne removal and repair and maintenance. We'd better use some facial cleanser containing amino acids, which is mild and not irritating. In addition, oily skin should pay special attention to hydration and maintain water-oil balance, so as to effectively control the appearance of acne.
Don't squeeze with your hands after acne appears, otherwise it will cause inflammation and make the skin worse. Therefore, it is best to use some anti-inflammatory and calming products after acne appears, and you can also ask a doctor to prescribe some ointment for treatment. Also pay attention to sun protection and other issues to avoid leaving acne marks and deepen acne marks.
In any case, the most important thing is yourself, and all methods are auxiliary. Only by maintaining a good mood and life can we effectively resist the appearance of acne and improve the skin.
I believe that no matter when and where, acne is the natural enemy of women's life, which not only affects their appearance, but also leaves scars and brings many other skin problems. Especially after the arrival of spring, the sun be the spirit produces hair, and the evil accumulated in the human body may also rise with the sun be the spirit, which is when acne is easy to grow. If you don't take good care of yourself, beware of acne popping up like mushrooms after rain. ...
Why do you get acne?
On the surface, the causes of acne may be excessive oil, clogged pores, mite or bacterial infection, or endocrine disorders caused by emotional ups and downs, heavy life pressure, fatigue, lack of sleep and other factors.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, acne can be attributed to three reasons: yang deficiency, blood stasis and gastrointestinal heat accumulation.
Yang deficiency: People with yang deficiency develop acne because the yang is too weak, and it runs carelessly, resulting in the contradiction of "upper heat and lower cold". Toothache, bad breath and acne on the head and face often appear, but it is still cold below the navel. The acne caused by yang deficiency is generally white in color, small in size and more in number.
Blood stasis: The color of this acne is deep purple, which will not fade for a long time. People with dark purple acne are mostly due to long-term psychological depression and poor qi movement in the body, which leads to blood vessel obstruction; People who have been seriously injured, have been ill for a long time or live in a cold environment can also lead to the "germination" of this deep purple acne.
Gastrointestinal heat accumulation: In the past winter, people's diet tended to be "warming", and many people ate hot pot every meal, leaving a lot of accumulated heat in their bodies. In this case, the acne will become bigger, the color will turn red, and sometimes it will fester. If you smoke, drink, stay up late, eat too much, it's probably because your stomach is hot and you have a big red pimple.
What should I do with acne? Internal aftercare
Yang deficiency can also regulate the spleen and stomach.
In addition to genetic factors, people with yang deficiency are often caused by using too many antibiotics or eating cold food for a long time. Bad habits such as gluttony, love to turn on the air conditioner, drinking cold drinks and staying up late for a long time can also cause yang deficiency.
To recuperate yang deficiency, it is not enough to rely on Chinese herbal medicines such as Morinda officinalis, Polygonum Multiflori Radix, Rosa laevigata, walnut meat, Lycium barbarum, longan meat and jujube. It can also regulate the spleen and stomach.
Because people with insufficient yang will have more water in their bodies. Too much water will affect the function of the spleen and stomach, while poor function of the spleen and stomach will in turn aggravate water dampness and form a "vicious circle". Among the common ingredients, yam, lotus seed meat, white lentils and coix seed can strengthen the spleen, replenish qi and ooze dampness, and help the spleen and stomach to discharge water that cannot be transported in time. We can eat more of these spleen-strengthening ingredients.
Blood stasis must first be cold-proof.
Many female friends ignore the temperature for the sake of beauty, which not only leads to long body cold time, but also leads to the growth of acne. If combined with long-term depression, it is more likely to lead to stagnation of liver qi and poor blood circulation.
Therefore, people with blood stasis will not only develop acne, but also face spots. If a person suffers from blood stasis for a long time, it is easy to develop depression and migraine. Men are also easily entangled in prostate diseases, while women are prone to problems such as breast hyperplasia and uterine fibroids.
Therefore, for people with blood stasis, it is the foundation to "break up" with acne. Even in spring, you can't take off your autumn clothes and trousers too early, and do a good job of "spring cover" to guard against the cold of spring. In addition, on weekdays, it is best to use some herbs or ingredients that promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis and dredge collaterals to make soup, such as salvia miltiorrhiza, notoginseng, perilla and ginkgo. Then the acne will get twice the result with half the effort. Of course, don't forget to keep a good mood. The influence of emotion on qi and blood in the body can not be ignored.
Gastrointestinal heat accumulation should improve living habits
First of all, we should give up smoking and drinking. Secondly, we should get rid of the bad habit of staying up late. Of course, don't eat too many supplements, otherwise it will aggravate the situation of acne. In addition, drink more water and eat more food that can clear away heat and detoxify. Hawthorn, honeysuckle, lotus root, kelp, honey and fungus are the first choice for people with gastrointestinal heat accumulation.
External aftercare
Exfoliate regularly. Long-term non-removal of facial keratin will cause the growth of closed acne, and it will also make the skin unable to absorb skin care products well. However, women with sensitive skin must not use scrub excessively, and it is enough to use it once a month 1~2 times to avoid damaging the self-healing ability of skin.
Always pay attention to moisturizing. Because, only the balance of water and oil can the skin present the healthiest state and skin quality.
Acne should not be impatient, and the formula of acne products should be mild. Natural plant active ingredients such as lavender essential oil, tea tree essential oil, plant glycoside and trehalose can maintain a healthy skin environment, effectively relieve skin discomfort and repair damaged skin, which is very helpful for improving "acne skin".
