Acne has always been the natural enemy of every little fairy. Now that winter is coming, our skin problems are experiencing another major outbreak! Blackheads, pimples and closed comedones all come knocking at your door at once. The annoying little demon of skin is starting to act up again. The red and swollen little bumps can easily affect the appearance of the face, and in severe cases can even affect your life and psychology. Can we just watch the pimples wreak havoc?

Four minefields of acne treatment

Q: Should I hydrate my skin like crazy if it’s dry?

Qiqi: Many fairies think that acne is caused by dehydration of the skin, which disrupts the water-oil balance of the skin. However, after hydrating the skin, their faces feel very dry and no effect is seen. That is because the water and nutrients have not reached a certain depth, so the effect will naturally not come out. Therefore, you must understand your skin properties before choosing products, and do not blindly choose hydrating products.

Q: Why do I still get acne when my skin is not oily?

Qi Qi: The dryness of autumn and winter causes the skin to be dehydrated. The water-oil balance is disrupted, which naturally makes it easy for pores to be clogged, and then blackheads, whiteheads, acnes and closed comedones will appear. Therefore, it is very important to choose gentle hydrating and moisture-locking products in autumn and winter. Oily skin cannot only choose refreshing products, otherwise acne will not disappear due to the imbalance of water and oil.

Q: How to fight acne with sensitive skin?

Qiqi: In fact, there are very few people who are born with sensitive skin. Most of the time, skin allergies are caused by the use of inappropriate products. That is, the skin barrier is damaged, and the repair function becomes poor, which naturally makes it easy to get allergies and redness. So you must choose products carefully and don’t pursue product effects too much.

Q: Will using different acne products and medications be more effective?

Qi Qi: Ladies who keep using different acne removal products after getting acne should be careful. Using different products at the same time is likely to damage the stratum corneum. Or you should be more careful about hormone face when taking different hormone products externally or internally. Choosing products rationally is the top priority in acne removal. Try to stay away from products containing hormones!

The battle against acne

① Cleansing

Cleansing is an important step in removing acne. Only when the skin is clean can acne be cleaned better. During the period of acne, you should use amino acid type or mild weak acid cleanser. Soap-based cleansers have strong degreasing power and the skin will be tight after washing. However, long-term use of soap-based cleansers will only make the skin more oily and clog the pores. Do not blindly pursue brands. Cleansers like CPB and Shiseido are mainly soap-based.

② Exfoliation

An excessively thick stratum corneum is also a cause of acne growth. Removing aging skin cells can restore the skin's vitality and metabolism. However, you cannot exfoliate when the skin is inflamed and purulent. For people with sensitive acne-prone skin, you should choose mild exfoliating products. Exfoliating in the right way can thoroughly clean the pores and allow skin care products to be better absorbed.
