The most painful thing about acne is repetition. If you are not careful, you will leave a bunch of ugly acne marks.
Really, the fairy's face value can't compare with those pockmarked pits, the killer of human face value!
Until two years ago, under the guidance of a dermatologist friend, Sister E combined with the health knowledge of Chinese medicine, my acne was finally uprooted, and I couldn't lift any moths anymore, so I stopped.
This time, Sister E summed up the experience of "vaccination" in recent years and shared it with everyone.
Article 1 * * * is divided into two parts: internal adjustment and external repair, including the following contents:
How to prevent acne recurrence; Life and eating habits that should be paid attention to about acne;
How to "eliminate" existing acne? How to eliminate acne marks? etc
Every word is personal practice, and some methods in it hope to inspire everyone ~
If you are impatient, you can drop directly to the bottom of the article. I have summarized all the points that need to be paid attention to in the fight against acne. You can collect them directly and enjoy them to your heart's content ~ (Am I a caring little cotton-padded jacket? )
◆ First, internal adjustment is the root to solve the recurrence of acne ~
To tell the truth, acne only talks about external application and maintenance, not internal adjustment. It's all hooliganism, treating the symptoms but not the root cause!
On the road to fighting acne, Sister E also had a sad history of blood and tears. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the growth of acne is due to improper diet and living habits, which leads to changes in the function of a certain part of the body and some physical reasons.
Sister e is located in Lingnan area. When she first arrived in Guangzhou, the hot and humid climate here, coupled with the high-pressure life of going out early and returning late, and irregular work and rest aggravated the accumulation of wet poison in the body. Once a large area of acne broke out, there was a sense of desolation.
Humid heat is a major feature of Lingnan climate.
What's more, it has left a pile of acne marks that are difficult to eliminate.
Later, through a friend's introduction, I found an old Chinese doctor to recuperate, and recommended some medicated diet soup for food supplement, slowly recuperating and slowly returning to normal. During this period, I tried all kinds of tea tree essential oils, aloe vera gel, brush acid.
From the perspective of Chinese medicine, no matter what form of acne, it is inseparable from "wet+heat".
Heat is the best solution, just clearing away heat and detoxifying. That's the hard part. "One wet is hard to get rid of", so acne is often inexhaustible, and it will come back to life in the next season. ...
Due to humidity &; Heat has different manifestations in different zang-fu organs and presents different acne.
For example, if the lung meridian accumulates heat, the acne that emerges is the red, white/black acne and papules below.
Lung governs fur and skin problems, and the shallowest heat toxicity is also related to it. This heat poison is the shallowest layer of the skin and is the easiest to remove. Just drink a cup of herbal tea.
Sister E is a typical damp heat constitution of the spleen and stomach, causing pustules and papules.
This type of papular acne is more difficult to treat than blackheads, because it is mixed with damp evil and takes a long time to recover. ...
Under the advice of Chinese medicine, I have been cooking pigeon mung bean soup for a while, and the acne on my chin has been greatly improved.
Of course, everyone's physique is different. I suggest you consult a doctor yourself, know your constitution, and know what you should eat and what you can't eat.
In addition to diet therapy, there are some small details of daily diet that also need attention. Let's start with the cliche:
Eat less sugar! Eat less sugar! Eat less sugar!
Sugar here refers to dessert, milk tea, cola, high-sugar fruit and so on. Reducing sugar is an arduous task for many people. For the sake of good skin and good health, it is still worth changing.
Sister e mentioned the importance of reducing sugar to acne muscles in the previous article. In the BBC documentary "How to Slow Down Aging", the research results of scientists are revealed: people with high blood sugar levels are more prone to aging than those with low blood sugar levels, and are also prone to acne, acne, dullness and pigmentation ... In short: sweet = fat+acne!
Insist on eating a handful of nuts every day (within 25g).
Many girls will say no sweets. How's life?
No, there are delicious and healthy nuts. A girl who works in an office like me can prepare a small packet of daily nuts (no more than 25g) every day. As afternoon tea, it can not only satisfy her desire, nuts are rich in unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E, which has a strong antioxidant effect and can also reduce the breeding of acne ~
Eat more soybeans and bean products.
Soybean is a high-quality protein that can be directly absorbed by human body. For acne muscle, soybean isoflavone contained in soybean not only has antioxidant effect, but also can effectively regulate endocrine, balance estrogen level and reduce acne and acne. Tofu, soybean milk and tofu skin are all good bean products. Have a cup of soybean milk for breakfast ~
◆ The second article, how to eliminate acne through external repair?
Sister e is divided into three steps according to the skin care steps. To sum up:
Step 1: Use gentle cleansing product+mud film to clean and dredge hair follicles. The principle is to help you remove oil and dirt from the skin surface, which can appropriately reduce pore blockage and prevent acne. Especially the ongoing inflammatory acne. Violent scrubbing and soap-based cleansing are very harmful to the skin, and may also lead to further expansion of inflammation.
Strong cleansing, such as soap-based cleansing, has too strong degreasing power and is very irritating to the skin, which is tantamount to "sprinkling salt on the wound".
If you are an oil pox muscle, you can clean the mud membrane once a week, not too often, in order to clean oil and dredge hair follicles.
Skinny party can refer to this foam-free cleansing I used before, and there is no burden to use acne muscles:
▲ECOCOCO amino acid cleanser
Step 2: Repeated acne muscle, proper daily skin care and brush acid, one of the important reasons for unblocking adult acne of hair follicles is hyperkeratosis of hair follicle mouth, which leads to hair follicle blockage. Proper use of products containing acidic ingredients can gently promote the metabolism of the stratum corneum and help relieve acne. (Sensitive muscles should be used with caution, brush acid)
One thing needs to be reminded that many girls with acne muscles will advocate "dissolving oil with oil" and buy some greasy makeup remover, which actually risks clogging pores.
Step 3: First aid during acne SOS-bacteriostasis and anti-inflammation, promoting acne recovery. During acne, symptomatic first aid can be carried out according to the following conditions:
Whitehead/Blackhead: Whitehead is usually caused by blocked hair follicles. Try products with low concentrations of salicylic acid.
Red and swollen acne/pustular acne: This kind of acne is often accompanied by inflammation, so antioxidant should be considered. It is suggested to choose some products with anti-inflammatory, bactericidal and soothing effects, such as probiotics, yarrow, tea tree essential oil, aloe, witch hazel, purslane and other ingredients.
20 16 a study shows that the combination of tea tree essential oil and resveratrol has a good anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effect, which can slow down acne inflammation. Probiotics are also the "gospel of acne muscle" discovered in recent years, which can promote the healing of acne by regulating the balance of bacteria that lead to repeated inflammation of acne muscle.
Shoushou Party can refer to this essence and save Sister E during the period devastated by acne:

Nursing care: how to eliminate the acne marks that have been formed?
After the success of acne, it is not over. Large and small acne pits and acne marks are the ultimate killers that affect everyone's face value, and acne is more difficult.
Pocket marks are divided into red and black. Black acne marks are red acne marks, which are transformed from melanin precipitation on the basis of not doing a good job of sun protection. Red acne marks are left by inflammation at the bottom after acne is eliminated.
Many people don't analyze it, thinking that all acne marks will disappear automatically, and whether they are ignored or not, they will form stubborn pigmentation.
For example, red acne marks will be more obvious in hot weather or under the stimulation of ultraviolet rays. If you don't do a good job of sun protection, under the stimulation of sunlight, it will accelerate the color sinking and turn into black acne marks.
My past experience shows that under the condition of good sun protection, the red acne marks will disappear automatically in about 3 months. If we want to speed up, we must do a good job of anti-inflammation and anti-inflammation. You can find some essence, cream or low concentration salicylic acid containing anti-inflammatory ingredients to relieve local inflammation and eliminate acne marks.
Remember the formula to deal with red acne marks: sunscreen+anti-inflammatory!
Anti-inflammatory ingredients: tea tree essence, aloe vera gel, centella asiatica, witch hazel, salicylic acid (low concentration), dipotassium glycyrrhizinate, etc.
Shoushou Party can refer to this salicylic acid, which is suitable for novice brush acid (sensitive muscles should be used with caution):
Paula Jane selected salicylic acid to eliminate acne marks essence.
For the black stubborn acne marks that have been formed, the idea of treatment is like freckle and whitening "stunts".
Keep in mind the concept of acne marks: anti-oxidation+whitening
Main ingredients: VC, arbutin, turmeric, grape seed and Glycyrrhiza glabra.
Choosing the essence and emulsion of whitening and antioxidant ingredients containing these key ingredients can help the skin to promote melanin metabolism, brighten the skin color and make acne marks dull and fade.
Skinny party can refer to this whitening essence, which combines whitening and antioxidant products such as turmeric, VC and Glycyrrhiza glabra, and is mild (for pregnant women with sensitive muscles):

Finally, acne+acne marks can be summarized as follows:
Internal adjustment of physique, radical cure and reduction of acne recurrence
Do a good job of cleaning, and choose appropriate amino acid cleansing products (preferably bubble-free cleansing).
Never squeeze acne, it will be more difficult to get rid of acne scars after squeezing.
When you just want to grow acne, brushing some acidic products can effectively prevent acne from getting bigger.
When acne progresses, apply some anti-inflammatory and anti-oxygen essence to help heal.
Acne marks, sunscreen+anti-inflammation are the key, stubborn black acne marks with whitening products!
This issue is finally finished, not easy! These thousands of words are the painstaking efforts of Sister E (the vernacular version of acne science), in order to let everyone take fewer detours. If you feel my intention, please give Sister E a few more praises at the bottom of the article, thank you ~
