Acne is perhaps the main cosmetic problem of our time. About 95% of people suffer from it at different ages. How to solve a problem? WDay.ru has collected the most necessary information.
Pimple can be dried / dried
Not true… You can dry the skin, which means, deprive it of moisture, the pimple itself, as it was, will remain inside. This method has a bad effect on the condition of the skin: due to the lack of moisture, the protective layer is disturbed and the risk of bacteria penetration increases. Sensitive skin reacts instantly, flaking and a feeling of tightness. In addition, by condemning ourselves to suffering, we do not solve the main task: to stop the inflammatory process.
Solution: often the cause of inflammation, which means the appearance of pimples, is the malfunction of the sebaceous glands. As a result, an oily sheen appears, the pores become wider. Fighting these phenomena can help. The main thing is to learn that reducing the oiliness of the skin is not the same as drying it.
If you want to have an antibacterial effect, treat the skin locally, that is, use a cotton swab to apply chloramphenicol or salicylic alcohol directly to the pimple. However, the main care should be medical cosmetics for problem skin.
The whole problem is the contamination of the skin, which must be actively cleansed.
Not true… When trying to cope with acne, we often use various aggressive agents (alcohol lotions, scrubs, etc.), but this only aggravates the problem. The already inflamed skin becomes even more irritated and dried out. Various peels and scrubs are especially contraindicated; they spread inflammation across the entire surface of the skin like hundreds of couriers. Result: redness, extensive inflammation.
Solution: you should act gently. Only gentle care will help the skin. Use a special product for oily or inflamed skin, and after cleansing, apply a special ointment (purchased from a pharmacy), salicylic acid (BHA) or benzene peroxide products to the pimples.
Makeup for acne
With regard to makeup, when choosing cosmetics, you should also give preference to medicinal products. Now even a foundation can become a means of prevention and treatment, but only when it comes to mild acne. Deep scars and blemishes, alas, cannot be masked. But light tonal emulsions will help to even out the tone and hide redness. An important aspect: cosmetics should not clog pores.
Pimples on the skin, and it should be treated
What a rarity when a pimple occurs due to improper care or excessive skin sensitivity. In 90 percent of cases, this is only a consequence of problems within the body. Therefore, if inflammation occurs on the skin, first of all, it is necessary to understand what is wrong with health in general, because what we see on our chin took 2-3 weeks to form.
Harmful: alcohol, menthol, mint, eucalyptus and lemon. After their application, the pores are narrowed, there is a pleasant sensation of chill, which causes a deceptive sense of benefit. However, all these funds provoke irritation and destroy the protective barrier, as a result of which sebum begins to be more actively produced and even more pimples appear.
Solution: special lotions for problem skin are made by cosmetologists. These drugs are anti-inflammatory and are commonly referred to as “talkers”.
What is the cause of acne?
In sexually mature women, the appearance of acne is often associated with hormonal levels. In such cases, as a rule, inflammation appears or intensifies before the onset of menstruation. But there are more serious reasons, for example, polycystic ovary disease. In any case, it is necessary to be examined by a gynecologist. After diagnosis, the doctor will prescribe treatment and, most likely, recommend taking birth control pills. By the way, sometimes acne can occur just after the end of taking birth control pills. Many of these products are officially recommended for the treatment of acne. And in addition, a low-carb diet may be recommended.
How is acne treated?
Only a doctor can prescribe treatment. Do not ignore this fact, by contacting a doctor you will save time, find the best method of treatment and certainly save yourself from the risks of making things worse, which often happens with self-treatment. The doctor will prescribe external and internal therapy, select antibacterial agents, synthetic retinoids and antiandrogenic drugs. For example, Roaccutane.
