1, why do we get acne?
There are both male and female hormones in the human body, but male hormones are the main ones and female hormones are the main ones. Under normal circumstances, the ratio of the two hormones is balanced. The acne of adolescent girls is caused by unstable hormone secretion in the body, normal estrogen and high androgen; Adult women often do not increase androgen, but decrease estrogen, which also causes imbalance between the two hormones, leading to excessive sebum secretion and blocked hair follicles, thus forming acne. There are also several important factors that can lead to hormone imbalance and acne growth-
Deteriorating natural and social environment. Man and nature are a whole. In recent decades, the deteriorating natural environment and fast-paced social life will lead to endocrine disorders. Studies by British experts show that the age of sexual maturity of modern girls is generally one year earlier than that of a hundred years ago, which is caused by air pollution and light pollution. For the simplest example, in the natural state, the old hen hatches her eggs entirely by virtue of her own temperature, while the farm uses a large light bulb of N kW to shorten the incubation process, which shows how much the changes of temperature and light have an impact on hormones. This is an external condition that we can't change, but we can try our best to eliminate the influence of this condition with a regular and healthy life, so as to coordinate our endocrine.
Changes in diet structure. Diet has a great relationship with the growth of acne. Modern people's diet is mainly "fat and sweet", which greatly increases the chance of acne.
Genetic factors. If your parents used to have acne, you never ran away, because our constitution is largely determined by heredity. If they never have acne and you have it, then you should pay attention to improving your diet and lifestyle.
Mental state. I once saw a MM say, "My mood has a lot to do with the growth of acne. If I get angry with someone the first day, acne will definitely break out the next morning. That's accurate!" Yes, mental stress, depression, anger, etc. will all lead to "getting angry", and the result will be reflected in your face soon.
Improper weight loss. Many MM weight-loss methods are unscientific, some rely on net hunger, and some rely on hormone-containing drugs, which will change your physique and lead to acne.
In addition, acclimatization and some gynecological diseases can also lead to acne.
2. How is acne getting worse?
There are two main reasons for the deterioration of acne, one is objective and the other is subjective.
Let's talk about the former first.
Everyone's skin has normal flora, which is generally not pathogenic. However, when acne appears, there is sebum accumulation on the skin, which provides rich nutrition for the massive reproduction of these bacteria. At this time, they will easily become harmful bacteria, causing acne to worsen. The red acne is also caused by the inflammation caused by the accumulated sebum. The way to deal with this situation is nothing but to keep it clean. Wash off the sebum with warm water and non-irritating soap to prevent siltation.
Let's talk about the reasons why we make acne worse.
The first is the infection of external bacteria. In other words, it is the bacterial invasion caused by squeezing, scratching and scratching acne. Never squeeze acne! Unless you want to leave a "mark of youth" for a lifetime! Don't touch your face often, and don't touch it if it itches! You can prepare wet wipes and apply them to your face when it itches, but don't wipe them! After washing your face, you don't wipe it with a towel, but apply it to your face to absorb the water.
Then there are superstitious folk remedies and cosmetics. Aloe vera and toothpaste are often regarded as remedies to deal with acne. These things do have certain anti-inflammatory effect, but the effect is very limited. Moreover, some people are allergic to this, and they have also made anti-inflammatory and acne-eliminating masks in beauty salons. It was great at that time, and it was simply terrible afterwards! Remember, don't use your face as an experimental field. Besides, many girls abuse concealer and foundation to cover up when acne breaks out on their faces-do you want to brush your face thicker than the wall all your life or expose your ugliness temporarily so that you can have a face with easy makeup in the future? Covering is not always a long method, and applying foundation to acne is tantamount to blocking the Yellow River. When you have acne, just wash your face and apply some astringent toner or oil control gel. Remember, cosmetics that can "make a big difference" are designed for the face without problems. Do a good job of basic skin care first, and then put it on your face!
3. (Most importantly) What should we do?
In the final analysis, what I want to say is that internal cultivation is much more important than external treatment.
If there are 100 people with acne, there are 100 ways to treat it. Even if you know enough ways to treat acne, you still need a doctor to diagnose you in time. It's best to find a good doctor to see what kind of constitution you belong to, so as to prescribe the right medicine according to your own constitution. But you can't go to the doctor indiscriminately. The key is to be effective, so everyone still has to go to the right doctor and eat the right medicine.
Acne is under control now, but we should pay attention to daily care. My doctor told me that acne is like catching a cold, and its recurrence is high, so he told me to develop good living habits. He also told me that there are several kinds of acne constitutions-lung heat type, acne is papular, and to put it bluntly, it is easy to get dry mouth, upset, yellow tongue coating and typical symptoms of getting angry. You can drink more chrysanthemum tea, clear your lungs and detoxify, fight less with people at ordinary times, be calm, eat more vegetarian dishes, and it's best to stop eating meat for a month and then have a look. Drink some loquat cream when necessary.
Damp-heat type, acne is pustule type, the kind of running water, and it has pain, bad breath, constipation and other symptoms. This is also eating too well, and getting angry is unusual. It is recommended to take Jiedu Yangyan Capsule, but remember that it is dependent and cannot be eaten often, so it is better to adjust by diet. It's ok to drink a bowl of honey water in the morning. Eat more radishes. I really can't use bezoar to have a diarrhea.
Phlegm and blood stasis type. Acne is hard, cystic, usually afraid of heat, easily sweating, stool is not shaped. There is a danger of gynecological diseases. Take some medicine with Angelica sinensis. Eat more kelp, kelp mixed with celery and less chicken breast, which is for people with acne of this constitution-don't try it for people with other constitutions! Some people say that kelp can get rid of acne, which should be tailored to different people. If you are already cold, have some kelp, and you don't have to see anyone.
Deficiency syndrome constitution. Acne is easy to recur, usually dry mouth, easy to backache and burnout. Don't blame me for speaking straight. This is the result of indulgence. A harmonious and happy sex life can nourish your face, which is true, but extremes meet, and it will be reflected in your face if you overdo it. Have some astragalus.
Type of excessive internal heat and cold. This is the most difficult and difficult person to meet. I am like this. My hands are cold and my feet are cold, like a ghost, but my face is full of acne. And get tired easily. Use ginseng and astragalus to treat together, ginseng to treat cold, and astragalus to treat fire. Do not eat seafood as much as possible. Seafood is called "Yang in Yin", which is the most taboo for people who get angry and get cold.
4. Some tips
First of all, it is absolutely impossible to have a relaxed skin and a flat skin! ! ! Don't say it's allergic skin, even if it's not allergic skin, you can't even put that on! Think about it-can you put athlete's foot on your face? Also, for girls, the skin is usually good in the second week after the physiological period. Generally speaking, the week before the physiological period, the skin is the worst, and the physiological period is also very poor. After the physiological period, it will get better. In the second week after the physiological period (that is, the ovulation period, if you want to avoid contraception, you have to count this day), the skin will be good.
If acne is already serious, it is best not to use sulfur soap, because people are different from others, and what suits them may not be suitable for you. Sulfur soap mainly plays a cleaning role, which can wash away a lot of sebum and new acne. If there is no sebum environment, it will be easy to kill, but if the acne is already serious, it is easy to hurt the already fragile skin with sulfur.
In addition, the physiological acne in adolescence, as long as you don't have to pick with dirty hands, will be fine after puberty and will not leave marks; If the physiological period is stimulated by the outside world, such as eating spicy food and getting angry, it will be better after the physiological period; Inflammation caused by indiscriminate use of cosmetics must go to the hospital; Then there is the lack of certain substances in the body, which causes acne and skin allergies. Try to adjust from the diet. Although it has a slow effect, it is a long-term aftercare type. If you don't know what you are missing, you must eat everything and not be picky about food (of course, taboos are not counted).
Wash your face with non-irritating soap. Don't wash it too often. Two times a day is enough, but you should wash it twice every time. Pay attention to the fact that the towels must be clean. It is recommended to prepare two towels. After wiping your face, wash it and air it. It is best to bask in the sun, and then use the other one and use it upside down.
Drink plenty of water to detoxify. In summer, watermelons are easy to find and try to eat one a day. It is recommended to eat more tomatoes and apples instead of citrus fruits, which is easy to get angry. Green vegetables should be guaranteed to eat a bowl every day;
Drink some green tea or chrysanthemum tea every day, don't drink coffee, don't drink strong tea, eat less sugar, don't drink carbonated drinks, drink water or light tea when you are thirsty; Eat more vegetarian food and less greasy food. Meat can be boiled in white sauce, not braised in brown sauce. It is best to eat chicken instead of pigs, cattle and mutton.
Eat more corn. Boil cabbage with white radish, eat it once a week with less salt and dried seaweed, or drink it with white radish juice. When drinking mineral water, add a slice of lemon and squeeze it into the water; Drink a cup of cold boiled water when you get up in the morning, and drink it when you get up in the morning (don't brush your teeth, it doesn't matter if you brush it after drinking, no one knows. )
Also, it is sports. If you drink a certain amount of water, you will sweat more and detoxify naturally if you exercise more. Running twice every morning or jumping rope will not only detoxify, but also lose weight and keep fit. Exercise has an effect on all beauty. Also, if the skin has itchy symptoms, cook it with celery and tofu in a ratio of 2: 3, add salt, eat one or two a day and try it for a week.
Finally, the doctor also said that it is not the end of the world to keep smiling and keep a good mood. Think about how many people in the world have no time to worry about whether they have acne on their faces! Moreover, the more you are afraid of it, the more stubborn it is. Keep a confident attitude and acne will be scared away by you! Look up at the world and the sun. Sunshine is also a good way to sterilize.
