Every day we encounter a large number of acne sufferers, the vast majority of whom are unaware of the triggers of acne, not to mention how to control it in terms of diet and lifestyle habits. Therefore, the following is a small summary that we hope will help.
1. Possible triggers of acne.
(1) Excessive stress, sleeping too late and emotional anxiety.
(2) Intake of too much sugar, dairy products, starch, fried foods, fat, spicy and heavy food.
(3) No good skin care habits, incomplete cleaning of the skin, clogged pores. Or over-cleaning, washing the face 3-5 times a day, resulting in lack of oil and water in the skin, which instead induces overproduction of sebaceous glands.
(4) Self-use of row of needles to clear acne or squeeze acne, resulting in pore infection, dermal inflammation, causing scarring.
(5) Changes in endocrine secretion. Some women have increased acne before their periods, accompanied by dysmenorrhea, etc. They should check the sex hormone six items, and polycystic ovary syndrome.
2, acne patients diet strategy.
(1) Contraindicated foods: fatty, sweet and greasy, sweet drinks, fried foods, fat, dairy products.
(2) Suitable foods: seafood (rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, can reduce sebum secretion, anti-inflammatory), red vegetables (such as carrots and tomatoes, both should be cooked, otherwise not easily absorbed), high-fiber vegetables (such as celery, cabbage, etc.).
3, acne skin care.
(1) Clean the skin carefully and use a face wash containing scrubbing particles if necessary to reduce the clogging of follicular pores. It is not easy to wash your face more than 3 times.
(2) After cleaning, you must use an oil control and moisturizing cream, otherwise the skin will secrete more oil under the effect of negative feedback.
(3) If there are more inflammatory acne and sensitive skin, you should regularly use a mask with soothing effect, such as FGF mask.
(4) Acne-prone skin is prone to acne and scarring under the action of UV rays, so be sure to use sunscreen. In winter, you can choose a day cream with a sun protection factor. In the rest of the season, you must apply sunscreen externally and it is recommended to use medical skin care products.
4. Application of topical medications for acne.
Topical medications commonly used for acne, including Bansai (benzoyl peroxide) which dissolves keratin and sterilizes; Ansus (isotretinoin); Daphne (Adapalene), etc. are all somewhat irritating. If you apply it directly on the affected area and massage it in, it will cause irritation such as erythema and edema, which will cause the aggravation of “acne”. Therefore, it is important to learn the correct usage.
(1) Apply an oil-control moisturizer for acne on the entire face first.
(2) Apply the medication to your left hand in a thin circular motion on the tiger’s mouth.
(3) Dip the index finger of the right hand into the medication and dab it on the lesions one by one.
(4) Apply sunscreen to the whole face (acne skin is very afraid of the sun).
5.Medical beauty program.
(1) Open blackheads and closed whiteheads: fruit acid resurfacing.
(2) Inflammatory papules, enlarged pores, seborrhea: intense pulsed light; red and blue light; photodynamic.
(3) Persistent erythema of acne: intense pulsed light; pulsed dye laser.
(4) Acne scarring: CO2 fractional laser; pixel laser; super platform.
