What should I do if I get acne on my face in winter?

Why is it easy to get acne in winter and what can we do about it? Many people have not been able to find a solution.

Acne on face in winter

1. Because the weather is dry in winter, the dry climate can easily take away the moisture of the skin, causing the skin to be severely dehydrated. Dehydrated skin will stimulate the sebaceous glands to secrete more oil, causing the oil-water balance to be unbalanced. This is one of the reasons why acne is more likely to occur in winter.

2. Once the skin is dehydrated, the keratin on the skin surface will thicken. If the thickened cuticle is not removed in time, it will easily clog the pores. The increased secretion of oil is not excreted, thus inducing the growth of acne.

3. In winter, due to the cold weather and low temperature, the skin will have a certain irritating effect on the skin. Especially the skin of acne patients is more fragile and easily affected by the environment. This is also a contributing factor to the rapid growth of acne.

What to do if you have acne

1. Pay attention to cleaning

Cleansing is the basis of skin care. If cleaning is not thorough, it will cause pores to become clogged. However, do not over-cleanse and do not use exfoliating and cleansing products frequently, as this will cause our skin to become thinner and make it more fragile and sensitive. It is easier to wash your face with warm water. Towels, pillowcases and pillowcases should be washed regularly and dried in the sun for disinfection. If they are not washed for a long time, a lot of bacteria and mites will grow and harm our skin.

2. Life rules

This includes two aspects: diet and daily routine. Eat a light diet and drink plenty of water. Doing this can keep your bowel movements regular, as constipation can also cause acne. Go to bed on time, don’t stay up late, ensure sleep, have a regular life, and you will feel good, avoid acne and look better.

3. Don’t squeeze with your hands

Do not squeeze pimples or blackheads with your hands. Squeezing may cause redness, swelling, and inflammation, which is not conducive to the healing of the pimples and may also leave acne marks or even scars.

4. Skin care products to treat acne

Choose skin care products that are suitable for you. If you don’t use skin care products properly, you are prone to acne. Choose according to your skin type and don’t trust advertisements too much. Do not use acne-removing products indiscriminately.

5. Hydration and Moisturization

When the skin is dehydrated, it will be more prone to oiliness. Excessive oil on the face means that the skin is already very dehydrated. Excessive oiliness in the skin can lead to acne, so it is important to keep it hydrated. Use facial masks frequently and apply skin care products immediately after washing your face.

Although acne is a very uncomfortable thing, if you don’t know how to solve it, it may cause a great impact on your face. I still hope that everyone can take acne removal seriously and make themselves more confident.

Daily care

1. Cleanse your skin: Do not use products that are too cleansing. If the skin's own oil is removed, the skin's self-defense function will secrete more oil, causing oiliness and acne to become more rampant. Therefore, choosing a facial cleanser is very important. Choose a mild, natural, gel-like, weakly acidic facial cleanser with strong cleaning power.

2. Do a good job of moisturizing: The skin itself can only secrete oil but cannot provide the moisture needed by the skin. Therefore, it needs external sources to inject moisture into the skin. Choose moisturizing skin care products that suit you, moisturize after cleansing every morning and evening, and maintain the water and oil balance of the skin surface.

3. Choose suitable acne-removing products: In the early and middle stages of acne, choose suitable skin care products to cure acne, avoid using ointments, creams and other acne-removing products containing hormones. You can use plant-based cosmeceuticals to remove acne, which are gentle and non-irritating.

4. Deal with complications promptly: In addition to acne, blackheads and enlarged pores on oily skin should be dealt with promptly. Basic care should be done on a regular basis, such as applying facial masks and exfoliating every few days. If multiple problems occur simultaneously, essential oils can also be used to care for the skin. The powerful effect of essential oils helps oily skin control the water and oil balance on the surface.

Tips for getting rid of acne

1. Drink eight glasses of water every day. Be sure to drink a large glass of water early in the morning before eating to cleanse your stomach. (I believe many girls know this, the question is whether they can do it.)

2. Have a bowel movement every day. Keep good habits and detoxify, and eat bananas for conditioning when necessary.

3. Avoid staying up late. Staying up late is the biggest enemy of beautiful skin.

4. When washing your face, wash it thoroughly without any residual cosmetics.

5. Play computer less and do not turn on your mobile phone and place it next to your bed as it emits radiation which has a serious impact on your skin.

6. Do not squeeze pimples with your hands, let them fall off on their own to avoid leaving marks.

7. Bed covers and pillowcases should be washed regularly, otherwise a lot of mites will breed and it will be easy to get infected when you sleep.

8. It’s best to go to bed before 11 o’clock. Don't eat midnight snacks before going to bed.

9. Try to eat less food that causes irritation.

10. Don’t use skin care products indiscriminately. To use the best acne removal products, you need to understand your skin type.

11. People with acne should always clip their bangs up before sleeping. This will prevent forehead ulcers.

12. Wash your face frequently with dry palms to promote blood circulation in the face.
