How to care for acne-prone skin? Don't squeeze it with your hands

How to take care of acne-prone skin

1. When applying skin care products to acne-prone skin, you should apply them differently according to the condition of your face: for example, apply moisturizing products to dry cheeks, and apply oil-controlling and refreshing products to oily T-zone areas.

Try to avoid applying oily cream products on acne-prone areas and use lotion or gel products instead.

2. Pay attention to sun protection for acne-prone skin: Especially in summer, strong ultraviolet rays will make acne worse, but the SPF should not be too high, otherwise there will be a lot of oil, and the SPF should be controlled at around 20 times.

3. Don’t wear makeup: foundation, loose powder, concealer and other products will make the skin breathe poorly and cause acne.

4. Don’t squeeze pimples with your hands: The wounds squeezed by fingernails are in the shape of “gap”, which are far less easy to heal than the “pinhole-shaped” wounds caused by acne needles, and are likely to leave scars.

5. Don’t wash your face too often: People with acne-prone skin should wash their face at most 3 times a day in summer, and twice a day in other seasons. Over-cleansing will increase oil secretion.

If you feel that your face is sometimes greasy, you can buy oil-absorbing paper. After absorbing the oil, gently pat some oil-controlling and hydrating toner or spray on your face to achieve the oil-control effect.

6. Drink more boiled water: promote body metabolism. Eat a light diet: Spicy and greasy food promotes oil secretion.

7. Wash your hair frequently, change your pillowcases frequently, and wash your pillowcases once a week.

8. Wash your face immediately after returning home every day. Sweat, dust, smoke and other pollutants that remain on the skin for a long time can easily cause acne.

9. Get enough sleep, go to bed before 12 o'clock every day, no later than 2 o'clock at the latest, and develop a good habit of getting up early and going to bed early.
