What are the methods for treating skin problems, girls?

For most girls who are troubled by common problems such as acne, dullness, and sensitivity, the core logic of skin care has never been to follow the trend and buy Internet celebrity skin care products. It is to first understand your own skin tone and corresponding problem types, and then match it with your living habits. If you pile up functional ingredients, it will easily turn your face into a "problem-prone skin area."

I helped several friends deal with their skin problems in the past two years. The one who impressed me the most was a girl who had just graduated. Her T-zone had a tendency to shut up in the summer. I heard from bloggers that acid can be used to polish the skin. I even bought several high-concentration acid essences and applied them every day. Within three months, my cheeks became so red that I felt itchy even after wearing a mask. I went to the hospital and prescribed ointments for half a year before they recovered. I fell into the trap of "intervention without regard to skin type or problem".

Don’t think that your skin type is an unchanging label that sticks to your face. Many people hold the idea that “I have combination skin, so I should use oil control products all year round.” In winter, if your face is extremely dry and you still apply refreshing lotion, it’s weird if you don’t get dry lines. Take the most common acne as an example. Don’t just read the blogger’s acid treatment guide. First, find out the origin of the acne: If you have recently switched to a heavy facial cream and it’s suffocated, it can be eliminated by stopping the heavy product and using a gentle mud mask twice a week. There is no need to use acid at all. ； If you have red, swollen, inflammatory acne that is painful to the touch, first ask your doctor to prescribe some topical anti-inflammatory ointment, which will work better than any other home remedy. ； If you have regular acne every month during pregnancy, stay up less late at night and drink more sugar-free soy milk. Adjusting your endocrine system will have faster results than applying anything on your face.

Oh, by the way, you don’t have to believe all the rumors about “eating sweets will cause acne” and “drinking milk will make your face rotten”. I have a planning friend who makes milk tea every day, and her skin is still very smooth. If I eat cheesecake for three days in a row, my chin will turn red. For acne, dermatologists have also said that high-sugar and high-GI foods will only increase the probability of acne, but are not absolute triggers. You don’t have to completely cut off your favorite food to maintain your face. On the contrary, it will cause emotional anxiety and mess up your endocrine system and you will still have problems with your face.

There are also many people who think that the more skin care steps you take, the better. They work overtime until 12 o'clock and come home and have to apply a full set of functional masks, essences, and eye creams, which is euphemistically called "remediation." In fact, the skin is tired after a day and cannot absorb so many nutrients. It is like a person who has just finished running and you give him a full banquet. If he cannot digest it, he will accumulate food. At this time, clean your face with a gentle amino acid cleanser and apply a moisturizing cream, which is enough to leave some room for the skin to repair itself.

If you have large-scale redness, acne breakouts, or stinging problems, don’t search for guides online and go to the dermatology department of a regular hospital first. This is the most time-saving and cost-effective treatment method. After all, your face is yours, and the cost of messing around is much more expensive than registering.
