What is the cause of hormone face and how to take care of it

Hormone face is a skin type that is very prone to allergies. In severe cases, redness and swelling will appear on the face. Do you know what causes hormone-induced acne? How to care for hormone face?

Causes of hormone face

There are many reasons for hormone-dependent dermatitis, mainly the following:

1. When treating skin diseases, the hormones used are not suitable for the indications;

2. Improper use of medication sites: The skin of the face, external genitalia, and infants is relatively thin and tender, and absorbs quickly. The use of strong hormones can easily cause damage to the skin barrier and lead to hormone dependence. Common drugs include: Compound Dexamethasone Cream, 999 Dermatitis Cream, Fuqingsong and other drugs.

3. Frequent use of medication and long history of use: Frequent and intermittent use of hormonal ointments, generally anti-allergic and antipruritic ointments.

4. Skin care products that use hormones are generally facial masks. Since hormones can reduce pigmentation in the short term and thus produce a whitening effect, many unqualified cosmetics often contain hormone ingredients. Long-term use will lead to hormone dependence. If a product makes your skin become unusually delicate and soft quickly, be careful that it may contain hormones.

5. After receiving skin beauty services, some people will experience redness and itching of the skin. In fact, this is mostly due to skin irritation and allergies. However, some unscrupulous operators often explain it as skin detoxification, and will secretly apply hormone ointments on you without telling you, which causes many people to suffer from irritation without knowing it, which is also classified as problem 3.

You don’t need to wash your face within one week of stopping the medication to avoid irritation.

If your skin is prone to capillary dilation, swelling, dryness, and redness, it is recommended that you cleanse your face at night and then wash it with clean water and wipe it with toner in the morning.

Hormonal faces are mostly prone to tightness and dryness. The toner you choose should preferably contain witch hazel extract, ceramide, etc., which can soothe irritated skin very well. It is recommended to carry toner with you. If the skin feels uncomfortable during the detoxification process, toner can be used to relieve it.
