Adolescence has passed, and acne is still something that makes many people feel embarrassed and helpless. I believe that most people have made unremitting efforts to this end, but the results are very little. After entering the job, it is even more difficult for them to take off to carry out all kinds of “experiments” to break through the “acne barrier”. In fact, is the so-called magic recipe and magic water really that? Clinical research shows that post puberty acne mostly occurs in 20-40 years old, also known as adult acne, which is mainly caused by stress. Post menopausal acne occurs after the age of 50, mainly due to endocrine disorders and reduced estrogen. Disorderly treatment and health care for unknown reasons may be the real reason why acne does not heal for a long time. Have you committed the following “12 crimes”?
1. Wash your face excessively
Acne (especially blackhead acne) is often considered to be caused by lack of hygiene. In fact, acne has nothing to do with burial. It is the blockage of pores caused by the thickening of the stratum corneum. If the pores are open, the oil in them will be oxidized and become black. This is not burial. Naturally, it cannot be washed away. Excessive face washing will make acne more and more serious.
2. Bask in the sun
Some people say that sunlight can kill bacteria (maybe it really can). Therefore, sunbathing can cure acne. In fact, this is completely wrong. Sunlight not only accelerates the aging of the skin, makes the skin gray, rough, and produces fine wrinkles, but also damages the hair follicle wall. Therefore, sunbathing will make acne more and more serious.
3. Use acne removing products containing licorice
Licorice is a natural plant, but it has a hormone like effect, so it will take effect as soon as hormones. Licorice, once thought to have no side effects, can actually reduce skin resistance like hormones. Therefore, the skin will also rely on licorice, which will not last for a long time, and will recur, which will also produce hormonal dermatitis.
4. Use acne products containing hormones
Hormones can reduce inflammation, and they are very fast, and generally take effect in half a day. But acne is not only inflammation of hair follicles, but also clogged pores and increased oil secretion. Moreover, hormones can inhibit the immune function of the human body, that is, reduce the skin resistance. Therefore, even if it’s better, it won’t last long. It will recur soon, and it will become very dependent, which will lead to hormonal dermatitis.
5. Use anti acne products containing antibiotics
Antibiotics can kill bacteria quickly, and generally take three or five days to produce results. But acne is not only caused by bacterial infection, which usually occurs later. Bacteria exposed to antibiotics will become resistant over time, that is, they can’t kill bacteria again. Therefore, even if it is good, it can neither last nor be repeated. It is effective once or twice at first, but it will be useless and difficult to cure later.
6. Squeeze by hand
Blackheads can be squeezed out, but they are still there the next day; If you squeeze out the acne, it will get better soon, but a few more appear in other places in a few days. Therefore, squeezing (no matter what kind of squeezing) can not solve the fundamental problem, but will cause inflammation and leave permanent spots or pigmentation.
7. Suck with adhesive tape or other tools
Some bad products teach people to suck blackheads out, and they immediately lose their blackheads. However, if you use them, you will find that the blackheads are still there the next day. Because oil is produced at any time, it will be oxidized into black black heads. If you keep sucking, it will also come out.
8. Wash with vinegar and brine
Experts tell you that using vinegar (even fruit vinegar) and brine can wash away acne easily and even narrow pores. Although vinegar and salt water will have a little exfoliating effect (in fact, it is the same when you rub it with your hands and towels), that effect is only temporary, and this rough method will eventually make your face very sensitive, even turn into a red apple or become as rough as the bark.
9. Regulating endocrine
Experts also tell you that acne is caused by endocrine disorders. In fact, young people rarely have endocrine disorders. The real ones with endocrine disorders are menopausal women, but they basically do not have acne. Elevated androgens are not endocrine disorders. Androgens can make you grow taller and may promote oil secretion. This is only a theory that has not been fully proven. Therefore, some boys can’t cure acne by taking estrogen (contraceptive).
10. Use natural herbs
Up to now, there is no large-scale medical research that can prove that herbal medicines for external use can dispel acne. Even if they can dispel acne, it should be relatively slow. We all have experience that traditional Chinese medicine has a slower effect than western medicine. Then, why can pure herbs dispel acne in three or five days? Needless to say, you can also guess that it is the effect of hormones and antibiotics. This is the reason why some pure natural products have no effect after they start to work well.
11. Eliminate toxins
Experts also tell you that there are too many toxins in the body, so they are discharged to the face. Therefore, continuous detoxification can never be completed, or even more and more. Finally, the expert said that there are too many toxins in your body. You should continue and increase efforts to detoxify, but the result is that more and more toxins are discharged. In fact, it is these methods that make your acne more and more serious.
12. Rub with ginger and garlic
Ginger, garlic and toothpaste may have a little anti-inflammatory effect, but it is absolutely impossible to eliminate acne. These rude methods do more harm than good to the skin, and can only make acne worse.
If you have the above experience unfortunately, please do not try again in the future. If you have not used it, the best way is to consult a professional doctor, apply reasonable treatment or dietary conditioning methods, find the cause from the inside of the body, and cure the root cause.
