How to get rid of closed comedones

1. Gentle exfoliation: Closed comedones are just pores where oil and keratin accumulate. Therefore, use gentle exfoliation to remove old keratin, open the pores, and allow oil to be discharged normally. This is a relatively simple and effective method.

2. Gentle cleansing: After exfoliating on the face, the skin's stratum corneum becomes thinner and the skin becomes sensitive, so it is best to use a mild amino acid facial cleanser to clean, moisturize and soothe the skin.

3. Gentle hydration: The skin will lose water briefly after washing your face, so you must hydrate and moisturize the skin in time after washing your face to balance the water and oil content in order to reduce acne. Choose a gel-like moisturizing product and combine it with massage to speed up acne removal.

4. Strengthen sun protection: Ultraviolet rays will cause keratin accumulation. Ultraviolet rays will also aggravate facial oiliness, sweating and other things that are not conducive to acne repair, so whether you have acne or not, you must do a good job of sun protection.
