How can I take care of acne on my face?
In addition to keeping your face clean and using the right skincare products, let me talk about dietary considerations:
1. Milk is more closely related to acne. It is currently believed that the correlation between diet and acne is more influenced by dairy products than fat, except for glycemic load. Moreover, skim milk is more likely to promote acne than whole milk, especially skim milk powder, and the exact mechanism may be related to the hormones in milk as well as IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor). Yogurt does not promote acne.
2. Avoid or reduce the consumption of sugar (sweets, beverages) and carbohydrates with a high glycemic response (refined grains such as white rice, white buns, white bread, white noodles, white porridge, etc.). Eat more whole grains and coarse grains, such as oats, black rice, red beans, green beans, brown rice, whole wheat flour, corn, millet, buckwheat, quinoa and barley.
3. Avoid foods that contain large amounts of saturated fat, especially those that also contain trans fat, such as shortbread, shortbread cookies, buttery cookies, French fries, potato chips, fried foods, butter and vegetable cream.
Acne, the scientific name for acne, is most common during puberty, and is generally believed to be related to the increased secretion of androgens in the body: the increased androgens cause the sebaceous glands to hypertrophy, and the excess sebum secreted accumulates in the hair follicles, forming sebaceous plugs, which leads to sebaceous gland secretions that cannot easily be discharged, resulting in the formation of pimples. In an anaerobic environment, Acanthamoeba proliferates within the hair follicles, stimulating inflammation of the follicles, which leads to the formation of acne.
In addition, a diet that is greasy, spicy and stimulating, frequent constipation, poor sleep quality, mental stress and anxiety, or irregular menstruation in women can cause acne to sprout.
Because acne occurs in the face, if not treated in time, or improperly treated, there are some easy to leave pigmentation or scarring, the so-called "youth is not in, acne is still" "pit" ending, the emergence of acne and left behind the "footprint" has undoubtedly become a major problem. The "footprints" of acne have undoubtedly become a major problem. So, how can we say goodbye to these pimples, acne bags, acne marks, acne pits completely? Look at the Guangdong Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital cosmetology chief physician Hu Kwai Kwai's professional advice.
Keep up with the gentle care, and take care of yourself in many ways.
1. Gentle Cleaning: The so-called gentle cleaning, not that you can not use facial cleanser, but it is recommended to use medical skin care products, because these skin care products have relatively fewer ingredients, in order to achieve effective cleaning at the same time can also reduce the stimulation of the skin. In addition, for blackheads, acne a lot of people, it is recommended to use skin care products containing fruit acids, which can effectively clean pores, remove the accumulation of keratinocytes, but also stimulate the regeneration of the skin repair, so that the skin becomes firm and delicate smooth, and containing glucocorticoid hormones, skin care products, as little as possible to use.
2. Reasonable diet: the occurrence of acne and dietary preference for spicy, stimulating food also has a certain correlation, so the diet should pay attention to avoid excessive intake of fatty, spicy, stimulating, or high-calorie food, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.
3. Regular work and rest: develop a good habit of regular work and rest, change the bad habit of often staying up late, to ensure adequate sleep, maintain a good mood, in addition, to insist on exercise, sweating, so that the body's wastes in a timely manner outside the body, but after sweating to pay attention to timely cleaning of the skin in order to keep the pores open.
4. Avoid scratching and squeezing acne: avoid scratching or squeezing acne, so as not to cause pus and inflammation of the skin in the affected area, pus breakouts, and then form lingering acne marks.
If treated properly, acne can be kept for a long time without recurrence or rebound.
1. Medication: limited effect and slow results, the treatment of drugs will usually be based on the cause of the disease and the severity of acne to choose, mainly to anti-keratinization, degreasing, anti-inflammatory based on the current more respected drugs for the treatment of acne is the Vitamin A Acid class of agents, which not only eliminates the existing pimples, acne packets, the treatment is appropriate, but also to maintain the long term acne does not recur and does not rebound.
2. Physical therapy: especially for stubborn acne pits and acne scars, these physical treatments have excellent results and are relatively safe with fewer side effects. The current physical therapy includes acne needle treatment, red and blue light treatment, fruit acid treatment, photodynamic therapy, laser treatment, water light needle, fat stem cells to fill acne pits and so on.
But no matter what kind of treatment, Hu Kwai Kwai reminds, it is best to choose to regular hospitals, so that the doctor can provide you with professional diagnosis and treatment programs, and timely control of acne inflammation, to prevent leaving a more "miserable" acne marks or acne pits.
Can not stay up late, get up and go to bed on time. Do not eat spicy food, eat light, eat more fruits and vegetables, keep a good mood, do not get angry, do not rush not dry. Reduce the exposure to ultraviolet rays of the sun, and prevent mites. Use acne cream, etc.
1. Exercising and sweating to detoxify the body will reduce the production of acne and also help acne recovery
2. Keep your diet light and eat less sweets and fried foods
3. Wash your face to wash clean, usually do not always touch your face with your hands, too long bangs and sideburns broken hair is best to get up, or rub your face also stimulate acne!
4. Healthy work and rest time, don't stay up all night
5. If you already have acne, do not use any skin care products (except for basic water milk skin care) and masks, regardless of it A few days on the natural good!
Around a lot of friends continue to fight acne for many years, and finally no matter it is also naturally good, but squeezing acne becomes a pit can not be good.
I. Early bedtime
After all, staying up late for long periods of time can lead to dull complexion, sensitivity, excessive oiliness, and other skin problems.
When you stay up late, still struggling in the first line of the hypothalamus will urge the adrenal glands to continue to work, secretion of cortisol, including glucocorticoids, glucocorticoids, you know, with a good life-saving medicine, with a bad is the skin poison.
Cortisol inhibits the synthesis of intercellular lipids in the skin and slows down the repair of the skin barrier, which is damaged, leading to accelerated water loss from the skin, the keratinocytes become dried out and no longer translucent, and your whole body will look dry and dull. The more serious consequence of the barrier don't destroy, is that the skin's door is equivalent to be opened, what bacteria irritants will enter, further weakening the skin's immune system.
This is because cortisol, the bad guy, will prompt the sebaceous glands to secrete more sebum, out of more oil, piled up on the surface of the skin, an oxidation, it is dark and easy to clog pores.
1, Cleaning
Washing your face, in my eyes, is the first step in skincare.
Of course, the prerequisite for doing this step well is to cleanse with a destructive force that is less than the skin's toughness. This way you can wash away the oils without damaging the skin's barrier protection.
Many people will struggle with the frequency of cleaning.
But really, in your daily cleansing routine, dry skin, neutral skin in the fall and winter months, just cleanse once a day.
For oily skin, or neutral skin in the spring and summer months, cleanse twice a day.
2, Moisturizing
Hydration, many people focus on. Moisturizing, not so much.
Moisturizing, which can be achieved in two ways, sealing and locking in water.
Sealing, which means putting on oil directly, covers the skin and prevents moisture from evaporating.
Water locking, which is the use of butylene glycol or glycerin, on the surface of the skin, to pull in moisture and keep it there.
I would choose a thicker cream for the fall and winter months and go straight for a full face seal. In the spring and summer, I would choose a more hydrating lotion cream for skin locking.
Don't always use a mask spray or something every day, choose a good lotion to lock in moisture.
3, Repair
I think I was on a long road to repair when I played around with acid brushing, which led to a damaged skin barrier and breakouts all over my face.
Studies have shown that many of our skin problems are linked to a reduction in ceramides, which is why our common barrier repair products contain ceramides, ceramide precursors (phytosphingosine), or similar ingredients.
If you have a miserable face, then you'd better mimic the sebaceous membrane composition to replenish your lipids with a barrier repair product. That means ceramides, cholesterol, and free fatty acids should all be supplemented.
To add, these skin care operations must be remembered.
- Sun protection must be adhered to
The fundamental purpose of sun protection is not to prevent tanning, but to prevent aging. The least serious consequence of "photoaging" is tanning. It is the enlarged pores, acne and wrinkles caused by sun exposure that really scare people but they can't do anything about it.
It seems like I've told you guys a hundred times, "Stick to the sun". But I don't mind saying it a few more times.
- It's better to quit sugar sooner rather than later.
-Sugar can make you break out. Foods high in sugar cause a rise in insulin, which affects the production of androgens and stimulates sebum production and hyperkeratosis of the epidermis, which can lead to acne.
-Sugar can make you darker. This involves a glycation reaction, where excess sugar in the body joins proteins, hand in hand, to create the brown substance AGEs.
-Sugar will age you. In fact, I can't bear to tell you that it's not the worst thing that happens when glycation occurs, but the worst thing that happens is that the object of glycation has collagen in it. The collagen that undergoes glycation gets deformed and the skin becomes saggy with it. This is why sugar ages us.
- Always wear skin care products around the eyes
The skin around the eyes secretes less sebum and has a poor ability to "self-moisturize", so you need to take care of it. In addition, the skin around the eyes is thin, so it is easy for fine lines to grow as a result of expression.
That's why the area around the eyes is an area that needs to be heavily guarded for moisturizing and sun protection.
- Don't believe in instant results.
Don't go for speed in skincare, do you know how long it takes to become a Fan Bingbing? The "instant results" advertising campaign is just to cater to consumers' greed and laziness.
The most expensive whitening serum won't make you white as Fan Bingbing, and the most high-end anti-aging products won't smooth out your wrinkles overnight. There is no such thing as a once-and-for-all skin care product.
- Drink less milk. You'll get pimples.
This is because the casein and whey proteins contained in milk raise the level of IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor) in the body, which promotes the production of oil in the skin and causes acne. And the acne treatment guidelines released in 2016 mention that excessive consumption of dairy products may cause acne, with skim milk being more risky than whole milk.
Dr. Chunyu is here to answer that question.
With the improvement of material standards, there is an increasing demand for beauty, and good skin is the basic requirement for beauty. The basic requirement for good skin is an even skin tone. And the most beauty-loving age may start from our puberty, but with the change of hormone level, acne may come unannounced, disturbing our life and affecting our psychology. Dr. Chunyu is here to tell you what you should do to deal with acne and pimple marks~
I. How to deal with acne
The medical term for pimples is "acne", an inflammation of the sebaceous gland units of our hair follicles. Pimples can manifest themselves in a variety of ways, ranging from mild to severe, such as pimples, papules, pustules, and nodules.
For acne: you can use retinoic acid ointment, once a night, after cleansing the face to use, apply and avoid light; at first there may be a little irritation, this time you can first apply moisturizing cream, followed by smearing the medicine, and then you can directly smear the medicine after getting used to it. Do not squeeze out by yourself, although there will be white oil plugs being squeezed out, the heart of the inexplicable pleasure, but may cause infection, the loss is not worth it.
For papules, pustules, nodules, etc., these manifestations are heavier than acne, because there are obvious inflammatory manifestations, and often painful, with a great impact on the appearance. At this time, you can take minocycline orally, the condition is more serious to take oral Vitamin A acid drugs, all have some side effects, the specific method is recommended to go to the regular hospital dermatology consulting. Topical can use antibiotic ointment that kills bacteria, but oral is the main thing at this stage.
2. pockmark
If acne is not dealt with during puberty, then some of the more inflamed areas can develop small pits, or what we call acne marks, even if they slowly heal.
Acne marks are actually scarring, and these marks are something that will stay with us for the rest of our lives, so it's very, very important to get the inflammation under control early on, before it's too late. But what if you already have acne marks? Don't despair, there are still ways to treat them.
A consultation with a medical professional is recommended, and there are a number of physical peels available such as acid or salicylic acid peels, as well as various types of laser treatments. However, whichever of these treatments is available, it should be done at least 3 months after the acne is completely under control and there are no new acne breakouts. Otherwise, treating acne marks while acne breaks out can be a case of one pothole not filling in the other. The treatment of acne marks is longer, more costly and painful, it is a long-lasting battle, and those who need it should also be prepared for it.
I hope Dr. Chunyu's answer can help you, welcome to pay attention to the headline number [Dr. Chunyu] to get more health science knowledge yo.

Here's a rant on some of the ways I've learned to deal with acne based on my own experience as well as what I've learned.
medical cosmetics treat the symptoms of a disease
I strongly believe that medical beauty is the best way to treat the symptoms, compared to skin care products, it is faster, safer, and able to make real significant improvements to skin problems, such as "laser" to control excessive oil, "micro-needling" to make the skin die first and then live, "chemical resurfacing" to speed up the skin regeneration cycle .... ...and so on.
Pimples, pimples collectively known as acne, the face of different periods of acne on the medical beauty have corresponding methods, but today the main talk about the care, about this problem interested students can go to see my other answers, or message private message can also be.
look after the root cause of a problem
In addition, must be through the details of daily life to make maintenance, is the real cure, the following points please keep in mind, and try to implement into the life in order to protect the skin health ah!
1. Enhancement of the body's resistance.For example, adequate sleep, good dietary habits and exercise can help increase the skin's anti-bacterial capacity. This is because high oil secretion, coupled with dust and bacteria in the air, can easily cause skin sensitization or inflammation.
2. Abstain from sugar and oil.Avoid stimulating foods such as sugary, fried and greasy foods, which can imbalance oil production.
3. Use cleansers/masks formulated with trace fruit acids or exfoliating toners for targeted cleansing of localized skin, exfoliation and skin regeneration to prevent and improve acne.Note that students with sensitive skin are not recommended to use products with harsh ingredients.
Common fruit acids include: glycolic acid, lactic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, amygdalic acid and many more.

Many people are bothered by acne on their face from puberty onwards, and these pimples also tend to stay with them into adulthood, which is very distressing.
The causes of acne, also known as acne vulgaris, are complex, and are related to heredity, hormonal imbalance in the body, excessive secretion of oil on the face, irrational diet (frequent intake of high-fat, high-calorie foods and spicy and stimulating foods), excessive mental stress, frequent staying up late, and smoking and alcohol abuse, among others.
The main measures to regulate acne are:
1, if it is from puberty on the beginning of acne, to do morning and evening wash your face, the use of mild, foam delicate rich cleansing skin care products.
2, to adulthood, the face and acne, we should pay attention to daily face cleaning, eat less high-fat, high-calorie, spicy and stimulating food, especially fried food, smoked food and so on. Eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, soy products and so on. Avoid staying up late for a long time. Because staying up all night will lead to dull skin, acne, etc.. If necessary, medication can also be used.
3, face long acne, do not use your hands to squeeze, otherwise it is easy to leave unsightly acne marks, pimples, etc., more affect the aesthetic.
4、If there are already acne marks and pimples on your face, you can consider laser treatment to get rid of pimples, scars, and so on.
Acne does not only occur during puberty, but also in people under 30 and over 15 years of age. Acne can be serious enough to cause infection or disfigurement, so it's important to treat it in a timely manner. The following four points are a few ways to alleviate acne, I hope to help you.
First, pay attention to hygiene
In fact, if you want to get rid of acne quickly, then personal hygiene is still very important. For example, the collar and bangs and so on, these will be because of the dust or oil residue and aggravate the condition or infection. So pay more attention to personal hygiene. In addition to clothing and quilts also need to be changed often, because the pillow and quilt is the most likely to accumulate impurities, so to avoid re-infection or long-lasting treatment, to change them diligently.
Second, good anti-inflammatory
It is actually a type of skin inflammation, so we can treat it with anti-inflammatory and antiseptic treatments. It is recommended to sterilize these pimples every day before going to bed.
Third, ensure sleep
Staying up late is aggravating, when you don't have enough sleep the secretion of oil will increase, then acne will keep bubbling up. Therefore, only keep sleeping, in the case of enough sleep, the body functions will automatically adjust the metabolic balance of the organs, acne will naturally slowly disappear.
Fourth, diet
The appearance of acne means that the body of the toxins a little too much, so we can through the diet of the way to sterilize Oh. The first thing is to ensure that the diet is regular, and then eat some detoxification food, cucumber, asparagus or white radish and seaweed and so on.
When acne appears, you can't ignore it, don't think it's a hurdle you're bound to encounter, but you should actively seek treatment. Hopefully, the above four methods can help you solve the problem.
Here is a list of a few common acne-related problems (2):
Q: Does acne-prone skin also have barrier dysfunction?
A: The underlying impression of people with an incomplete barrier is that they have dry, flaky skin, and significant irritation (itching, redness, tingling, etc.), which is actually not comprehensive enough. The simplest and most popular concept of the barrier is the "brick-wall structure", where both the bricks (stratum corneum cells) and the walls (intercellular lipids) must be healthy in order to ensure the integrity of the skin barrier. In recent years, it has been found that acne skin lesions show clear signs of an incomplete barrier (imbalanced lipid ratio, elevated TEWL, etc.).
Q: Does a rash on your face have to be acne:
A: Of course not, many of my friends often private letter to me after the picture found that not a few people think that their face has a red rash, pustules is acne, this is quite wrong. Acne and rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis, eczema dermatitis and other common skin diseases is very easy to appear confused, based solely on the rash this one manifestation to arbitrarily judge is very unscientific, some inexperienced dermatologists are also prone to confusion, so be sure to go to the regular hospital dermatology department, looking for experienced dermatologists, combined with further questioning and examination in order to make the correct diagnosis and treatment. So there is an important issue here, there are a lot of people reflected in the use of acne skin care products after the increase in red rash, stinging performance, in addition to consider the problem of the product, but also to think about is that, in the end, they are not acne, some dermatitis pimples as pimples, and then apply some acne medicines, not aggravate the strange.
Q: What are the principles of standardized acne treatment?
A: Different regions of the world (the United States, Europe, China, etc.) have published relevant guidelines for the treatment of acne, but in general the principles are the same. In general, the treatment of acne is still outside the drug as the main means, if necessary, with systemic therapy; for mild and part of the moderate patients, in the early stage can try to improve the targeted skin care products, if in the continued use of a few weeks after the symptoms did not improve or even aggravate the performance of the recommended to accept the professional medication; and the current first-line therapeutic drugs mostly have more or less Most of the current first-line treatment drugs have more or less side effects (dryness, flaking, etc.), this time to choose a nourishing, restorative effect of the skin care products can significantly enhance the patient's compliance, better to complete the treatment cycle.
