1. Remove makeup and cleanse thoroughly
To remove closed lips and acne, the first thing to pay attention to is makeup removal and cleansing. Only first Only by doing a good job of cleansing your face can you nip acne and acne in the cradle. Babies who frequently use cleansing oil should pay attention. If the cleansing oil is not emulsified thoroughly and removed cleanly, the residual mineral oil can easily become excess skin oil mixed with metabolized cutin, and accumulate in the pores to form terrible closures. acne. Therefore, when you use cleansing oil, you must remember to emulsify and clean it. When you usually wear light makeup, you can choose a cleansing water with a refreshing texture to reduce the burden of cleansing oil on the skin.
2. Exfoliate regularly
Excessive thickness of the cuticle is also one of the causes of closure. Regular exfoliation can promote skin metabolism, reduce the accumulation of old dead skin cells, and block the closure of hair follicles. Sexual acne. You can choose a mild exfoliating product on weekdays and exfoliate your skin regularly, preferably once every 10 days. Excessive use will cause the skin's stratum corneum to become too thin, resulting in redness, dryness and peeling.

We can choose some lotions containing calming, soothing, anti-inflammatory and stabilizing ingredients, and make a water film for a few minutes in the first step of skin care. If there is a small area of ????closing in a certain part of the face, it may be due to insufficient cleaning leading to accumulation of oil.

What should you pay attention to if your mouth is prone to long closing?
1. Do not over-cleanse or over-skin care. Don't be greedy when using repair products. This will prevent your skin from producing too much keratin and applying it to the opening of the hair follicle, thereby closing it.
2. For oily skin, pay attention to oil control and cleanse properly. Use products containing salicylic acid and fruit acids, reduce the frequency and duration of facial masks, and in serious cases, you should really see a doctor.
3. It is important to pay attention to sun protection, maintain a regular schedule, and do not stay up late.
4. Staying up late, eating improperly, and having poor living habits. These things can cause endocrine disorders and metabolic problems. Therefore, you must also be self-disciplined and adjust your daily routine, eating habits, and even mentality. (State of mind and emotions also affect hormone levels, which will then be reflected on your skin and even affect the health of other parts of your body).
Things to note when you have closed-mouth acne
1. If you have closed-mouth acne, don’t go to a beauty salon for acupuncture (I refer to general beauty salons, if you are a professional doctor who specializes in acne removal It can be done)
2. Don’t go to the hospital to prescribe those pseudo-good medicines (the doctor won’t care about your face. Generally, better doctors will prescribe some medicines which are relatively better, but as far as I know , most doctors will only prescribe hormonal drugs for you) Do not use drugs headed by adapalene! (It contains tretinoin, the most powerful acid that can be used, and it does have immediate effects, but this It treats the symptoms rather than the root cause, and the skin will become intolerant. This is a prescription drug. It is forbidden within one or two years if you want to get pregnant! If you don’t believe it, ask your doctor.) If you really want to use acid, don’t use this, even if you use mandelic acid or salicylic acid, don’t use it. A good face can still peel and cause severe pain (personal experience, definitely not nonsense)
3. Don’t use cleansing oil. Some people’s skin is just not suitable for it. For example, mine doesn’t emulsify well and doesn’t clean well. The mouth will close up quickly, so try to use makeup remover instead.
4. Except for hydrating masks, do not use other functional products;
5. Do not go to beauty salons for facial massage, and avoid long-term use of beauty instruments (golden sticks, refa, etc.) Acne areas;
6. Do not change skin care products frequently;
7. Please wipe off sweat on your face immediately;
8. Bedding, face wash Keep tools, including towels, face washes, etc. clean.
