Speaking of hormone face, people who often use skin care products and makeup products are very likely to have hormone face. Let’s take a look at what kind of face is a hormone face? How to identify hormone face:

What kind of face is a hormone face

The so-called hormone face is caused by long-term improper use of adrenal glucocorticoids on the face, which leads to skin-dependent inflammatory symptoms. Some are caused by the misuse of cosmetics containing hormones, and some are caused by improper use of hormone ointments. Now there are more and more such patients.

After using hormones, the side effects become more and more obvious, such as rough skin, dark spots, wrinkles, dry, itchy and peeling skin, red blood streaks, thinning of the skin stratum corneum, sensitive skin, etc. The skin becomes highly dependent on hormones, just like taking drugs. If hormones are discontinued, rebound phenomena such as redness, swelling, burning, dryness, itching, discomfort, and acute pustular rash may often occur. This phenomenon often occurs 2-5 days after stopping hormones and will last for several days or about 3 weeks. Because the rebound phenomenon is unbearable, many patients continue to use topical hormones, which leads to a vicious cycle. Later on, more and more serious side effects will continue to appear, and some people will become disfigured.

How to tell if it is hormone face

Criteria for identifying hormone-dependent dermatitis:

First, the triad of skin symptoms after discontinuing hormone products: dryness, itching, and redness.

Second, the withdrawal reaction of hormone dependence lasts about 2 weeks. During this period, no matter what skin care products are used, the skin will show symptoms of dryness, itching and redness. (If the hormones cannot be completely eliminated, the symptoms will recur at irregular intervals and will become increasingly severe).

What are the characteristics of “hormone face”? After using hormone products, my skin immediately became beautiful, white, and tender, and looked especially good.

What kind of "magic weapon" can achieve such an immediate effect? Only glucocorticoids! (TGCS) After using a certain topical product, my skin became exceptionally good! It became white and tender, and even skin sensitivity, red blood streaks, rashes, and acne disappeared! Such a magical product is really likable! But these products also have a common disadvantage, that is, as long as you stop using them, they will immediately return to their original state, and even worse, they will cause more serious skin problems.

If you have any of the above symptoms, then you may have hormone-dependent dermatitis! So I suggest that you don’t think that it is a good thing if your skin gets better quickly after using a certain product! This may be a precursor to hormone-dependent dermatitis!

How to care for hormone face

1. Stay away from hormone products

After being diagnosed with hormone face, you should pay attention. When the symptoms are not very serious, you must stop using hormone products and cosmetics.

2. Hydration and Moisturization

Once the skin is damaged, the stratum corneum's ability to lock in moisture becomes weaker, and the skin becomes very dry. In severe cases, the skin will peel and the face will rot, so it is necessary to replenish water in time.

3. Pay attention to seasonal changes

When the seasons change, the temperature may suddenly become colder or hotter, which may irritate the skin and aggravate the symptoms of hormone face. Keep warm and wear sun protection.

4. Pay attention to your diet

In terms of diet, do not eat spicy food, so as not to irritate the skin and make the situation worse.

5. Professional repair of hormone face

It is important to understand that the appearance of hormone face is caused by hormones, which destroy the skin's protective barrier and cause the skin to lose its protective ability. Therefore, to repair hormone face, you must repair the damaged skin barrier. Only in this way can the condition of hormone face be improved. However, this still requires the use of professional repair products to solve this problem.

That’s all I have to say about hormone face. First, let’s check if you have any of the characteristics of hormone face.
