Tips for removing closed comedones in autumn and winter

In fact, closed comedones are a type of acne, and there is another type called open comedones. Unlike open comedones, closed comedones are caused by clogged pores due to improper cleaning or incorrect use of techniques and dosage of skin care products such as facial masks. At this time, the pore opening is relatively smaller than open comedones, and the comedones accumulated in the pores are difficult to burst, so they are called closed comedones.

Then some girls will ask, why are the pimples on the face not called blackheads? The formation principle of them seems to be the same as that of closed comedones!

In fact, it is not the case. Pimples grow one by one and are relatively large in size; while closed comedones grow in patches, and when you squeeze the skin with your hands, white linear objects will appear, which are extremely small and thin. Those are real acne. Of course, the small bumps that feel bumpy to the touch but do not hurt when not touched, as well as those that are difficult to disappear for a long time, are also a type of closed comedones, but this type of closed comedones is more troublesome to remove.

In addition to improper use of makeup cleaning and skin care products, what other behaviors in life may lead to closed comedones?

The causes of closed comedones still need to be differentiated according to the location of the closed comedones on the face. If it grows on the hairline or T-zone, it is usually due to improper use of makeup, cleansing and skin care products; if it grows all over the face or has not been eliminated for a long time, a large part of the reason is due to unhealthy lifestyle habits.

1. Habitually touching your facial skin with your hands

Sometimes girls will unconsciously touch their faces with their hands when looking in the mirror, or they will not clean their hands properly before putting on makeup. At this time, they will bring the bacteria on their hands to their faces. Over time, too many bacteria will cause the pores to become clogged and form acne.

2. Bed sheets and quilt covers are not replaced for a long time

People spend a large part of their time in bed, and the faces come into contact with the most sheets, quilts and pillowcases. If the bedding is not changed for a long time, too much disgusting things such as waste body oil, dandruff, facial oil, etc. will accumulate. Although they cannot be seen by the naked eye, it does not mean that these things do not exist. Therefore, for the sake of beauty, you still need to replace your bedding regularly so that you can provide a clean environment for your facial skin.

3. Unhealthy food such as takeout, staying up late and other bad habits

In fact, in addition to improper use of cosmetics, cleansing and skin care products, and bedding, unhealthy eating habits are also an important cause of closed comedones. Long-term consumption of takeout, barbecue and other greasy foods will cause the body to lack vitamins from vegetables, fruits and other foods, which will slow down the skin's metabolism and make it more likely for closed comedones to develop. Bad habits such as staying up late further aggravate the slow metabolism of the skin and accelerate the formation of closed comedones to a certain extent.

4. Feeling irritable, angry, and depressed

Mood will also affect the reaction speed of human body functions to a great extent. Once you become irritable or depressed, it will easily affect the performance of the major organs in your body, which will eventually be reflected in your skin. So if possible, ladies, please keep a good mood.

Now that we know the causes of acne, what should we pay attention to in the process of solving acne?

1. Skin cleansing

When cleaning your skin, you must pay attention to cleaning it thoroughly. Don’t treat your skin carelessly just because you are in a hurry, otherwise your beauty will suffer in the end. However, it should be noted that excessive cleaning should be avoided, including the number of deep cleanings and the amount of cleaning products used should not be too much. Deep cleansing refers to exfoliation, which is generally done once a week; the amount of cleansing products used depends on the individual's facial skin.

2. Skin care

Skin care includes care such as hydrating and nourishing creams. The main purpose of moisturizing is to balance the water and oil of facial skin, so as to avoid clogging pores due to excessive oil caused by dry facial skin. The focus of care such as nourishing creams is mainly to pay attention to the dosage and brand selection. The dosage is not the more the better, but it should be based on the amount that the skin can actually withstand. Generally, the face should not feel too greasy after application; and the brand selection should be based on those that are easily absorbed by the skin.

3. Healthy living

If closed comedones still persist after you have done a good job of skin cleaning, skin care and bedding, you need to pay attention to your physical health. You can regulate the normal functioning of various functions in your body by adjusting your diet structure, exercising, going to bed early and getting up early, etc. Of course, remember to eat more fruits and vegetables, which are beneficial with no harm.
