Daily cleaning
1. Insist on using special face soap or cleanser for acne skin. Soap-based and alcohol-free ingredients will not cause irritation to acne.
2. Don't clean your skin excessively. Because excessive cleaning will stimulate cells to secrete more oil, forming a vicious circle.
3. Makeup remover and facial cleanser must be carried out separately, because only oily makeup remover can completely remove the same oily cosmetics.
4. Wash your face with a special sponge to make greasy skin refreshing. Rub the cleansing liquid into the palm of your hand to make foam, and then use a sponge to increase the foam; Gently brush with a sponge from the neck, around the mouth, chin, cheeks, bridge of the nose and other parts. Finally, wash away the foam with warm water and pat your face with cold water.
Cosmetic cover
If friends get together, attend an interview, or meet new friends for the first time, it will be unnatural to get pimples on your face. Here are some tips.
concealer
Prepare a small makeup broom, a box of high-quality concealer and a box of crushed powder.
Remember the order:
1. Sweep concealer on acne marks.
2. Push away the concealer with your fingers.
3. Repair the protruding or protruding part with concealer.
4. Tamp the powder until it is close to skin color, and sweep it off after one minute, which is helpful for fixing makeup and absorbing oil, and the effect is lasting.
Tips for covering your cheeks:
1. Don't apply concealer on inflamed or even purulent acne. If acne has pus or a wound, it is easy to be infected with bacteria, and it is even worse if it is not handled properly.
2. Concealer scanning is conducive to filling concave and convex scars, which is better and more obedient than finger painting.
Acne removing concealer
There is nothing to worry about using acne concealer, because acne concealer contains antibacterial factors, which can further treat and cover acne and isolate it from makeup at the same time of antibacterial treatment. When in use, the acne concealer pen can be directly applied to acne without suppuration and inflammation, and can have a good concealer effect.
Gexing makeup
Drawing a big, red and swollen single acne as a makeup ornament is an alternative makeup method. First of all, you should use acne concealer as a base to isolate makeup.
If it is acne on the corners of the mouth or chin, it can be painted as a mole.
If it is acne on the cheek, you can draw a small pattern with tattoo mark, which is lively and personalized.
If you have acne on your forehead, you can stick a small color sticker or sequins, which is very cool.
Start with daily life.
1. Do not use oily cosmetics, such as sunscreen with high oil content.
If you have acne on your mouth, please stop using fluoride toothpaste.
3. Don't eat seafood, mangoes and supplements for the time being during the growth period of acne.
4. Avoid using soap-based cleansing products, so as not to damage the acidic protective film of the skin, make the skin lose its resistance, and more likely to cause bacterial infection and produce sensitive acne.

Acne, medically known as acne.
Medicine for treating acne
1. Overview
Acne, commonly known as acne. It is a common chronic inflammatory disease of hair follicle sebaceous glands, which occurs in adolescence. There are many factors. Generally speaking, the main reason is: the increase of androgen secretion in adolescence causes sebaceous glands to swell and secrete more sebaceous glands, and at the same time makes hair follicles and sebaceous glands keratinize and embolize. The accumulation of sebum in hair follicles is called fat embolism, that is, acne. In anaerobic environment, anaerobic bacteria such as Propionibacterium acnes proliferate in large quantities, producing lipolytic enzymes, separating sebum to produce free acids, stimulating hair follicles to cause inflammation, causing hair follicle wall damage and rupture, and deposited sebum entering the dermis, thus causing different degrees of inflammatory reactions around hair follicles. In addition, heredity, endocrine disorders, lipopolysaccharide and irritating diet, high temperature and some chemical factors also play a role in the occurrence and development of acne.
Although acne does not affect the normal physiological function of human body, it affects people's appearance and causes certain psychological burden and mental stress to patients, so pharmaceutical companies pay more and more attention to the research and development of acne drugs. According to the related literature, the acne treatment drugs and their progress were reviewed.
2. Anti-acne drugs currently used in clinic.
2. 1 azelaic acid is a naturally occurring saturated linear dicarboxylic acid, which has antibacterial and bactericidal activities against various aerobic and anaerobic bacteria in skin acne. External use of 20% azelaic acid cream can significantly reduce the density of Propionibacterium in skin microspheres and hair follicles, and reduce the content of free fatty acids in skin surface fat. 20% azelaic acid cream was marketed in France by scheringAC Company of Germany on 1989, and was approved by FDA to be sold in the United States on 1996 for the treatment of acne.
2.2 cimetidine, this product is histamine h? Receptor blockers can inhibit gastric acid secretion caused by histamine or pentagastrin stimulation, and are clinically suitable for treating diseases such as gastric and duodenal ulcers and upper gastrointestinal bleeding. In recent years, it has been found that it has many functions such as immunomodulation, antiandrogen and antivirus. The mechanism of treating acne is to inhibit the secretion of sebaceous glands by blocking the combination of testosterone dioxygen and hair follicle receptors. It is effective for both internal and external use. 2% cimetidine cream is often used locally in clinic.
2.3 benzoyl peroxide, an organic peroxide, has strong bactericidal, exfoliating, acne dissolving and sebum secretion inhibiting effects, and is suitable for papular acne and pustular acne, with the common concentration of 1% ~ 10%. The drug can be used alone or in combination with other anti-acne drugs. For example, the "Bimaisen" gel of Rudong Ke Mei Pharmaceutical Company is "5% benzoyl peroxide +3% erythromycin", and the "Acne Ping" of Jilin Dongfang Pharmaceutical Company is 5% benzoyl peroxide ointment.
2.4 Adapalene, a new derivative of naphthoic acid, belongs to the third generation retinoic acid. It can selectively bind to retinoic acid receptor R, which can regulate the growth and differentiation of skin keratinocytes, thus regulating the differentiation of hair follicles and sebaceous epithelial cells and reducing the formation of acne. At the same time, adapalene can inhibit the chemotaxis of human polymorphonuclear granulocytes and inhibit arachidonic acid from being oxidized by lipids to produce inflammatory mediators, thus playing an anti-inflammatory role in the treatment of acne and improving inflammatory lesions. For example, the "Dafuwen" gel of French company Gaudemei is 0. 1% adapalene gel.
2.5 Oral isotretinoin drugs, drug tests show that this product has the functions of contracting sebaceous gland tissue, inhibiting sebaceous gland activity, reducing sebum secretion, reducing keratinization of epithelial cells and reducing propionibacterium acne, and is suitable for severe acne, especially for nodular cyst acne. For example, Terez from Shanghai Yan 'an Pharmaceutical Factory is isotretinoin capsules.
2.6 topical tretinoin, this product can regulate the mitosis of epidermal cells and promote the renewal of epidermal cells. Restore the growth and differentiation of diseased skin to normal. In particular, it can promote the renewal of hair follicle epithelium, prevent keratin embolism, inhibit protein production and make acne lesions subside. Its common concentration is 0.0 1% ~ 0. 1%. For example, the vitamin cream/gel of Rudong Ke Mei Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. is 0.025% tretinoin cream/gel, and the Bangli brand Di Wei cream of Chongqing Huabang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. is 0. 1% and 0.025% tretinoin cream.
2.7 viaminate, vitamin a ester drugs, local use can promote the differentiation and production of epithelial cells, regulate the keratinization process, inhibit sebum secretion, inhibit propionibacterium acne, and resist inflammation. For example, Chongqing Huabang Pharmaceutical's Bangli brand "Acne King" is 0.3% viaminate cream.
2.8 Oral zinc preparation At present, the mechanism of zinc preparation in treating acne is still controversial. Some people think that the mechanism of oral zinc preparation in treating acne is that there may be absolute or relative zinc deficiency in adolescence, which leads to the disorder of androgen synthase system. It is also considered that zinc deficiency makes the vitamin A transporter synthase system disorder, reduces the level of vitamin A in serum, and makes the available vitamin A in tissues insufficient, thus affecting the normal differentiation of epidermis. Some people think that oral zinc preparation is related to the fact that zinc can reduce sebum and zinc itself has anti-inflammatory effect. At present, the commonly used oral zinc preparations are zinc sulfate, zinc gluconate and zinc glycyrrhizinate.
2.9 Oral contraceptives have a strong anti-androgen effect. It competes with dihydrotestosterone in sebaceous glands, prevents the influence of dihydrotestosterone on sebaceous glands and reduces the secretion of sebaceous glands. For example, Diane -35 from Schilling Pharmaceutical Factory in Germany is "cyproterone plus androstenol", and the FDA of the United States has also approved Norgestrel/androstenol from ortho Company for the treatment of acne.
2. 10 antibiotic, whose main mechanism is to kill the inflammatory mediators produced by Propionibacterium acne. Commonly used antibiotics for local treatment include erythromycin, clindamycin, metronidazole, chloramphenicol and clindamycin. For example, 1% chlorhexidine phosphate produced by Puqiang Pharmaceutical Factory in the United States, 2% chloramphenicol liniment produced by Fuyanning liniment in Miracle, Guilin, and the "acne king" of Dianhong Pharmaceutical Company in Kunming is clindamycin+metronidazole compound liniment. The Bimaisen gel system of Shandong Demeike is "3% erythromycin +5% benzoyl peroxide". The gel system of compound isotretinoin of Steffel Company in Britain is "2% erythromycin +0.0 15% isotretinoin". The commonly used oral antibiotics for acne are tetracycline, erythromycin, roxithromycin, minocycline, doxycycline, clindamycin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. The usual dosage of tetracycline and erythromycin is 500 ~ 1000mg/ time, twice a day.
2. 1 1 Other therapeutic drugs Some medical units in China use androgen antagonists (such as spironolactone, diethylstilbestrol and estradiol benzoate)+trace hormones (such as dexamethasone)+antibiotics for topical treatment of acne, and have also achieved good clinical results.
"As long as you are young, don't get acne", a popular slogan and a short and playful youth declaration have exhausted the helplessness of youth!
According to medical statistics, only 20% of lucky teenagers can escape the ravages of adolescent acne; Up to 50% of teenagers will have acne for at least one year when they go through adolescence; As for the remaining 30% of high-risk groups, acne will always accompany you throughout adolescence, and even after adolescence, acne has no meaning of "retreat"!
Since acne is so disgusting, under the operational principle of knowing ourselves and knowing ourselves, let's first understand its ins and outs.
The reason for acne is actually very simple, just because the sebaceous glands secrete too much oil and have no control.
Sebaceous gland is an important gland in human protection system, which is located next to hair follicle in cortex. Oil secreted by sebaceous glands and sweat secreted by sweat glands combine on the skin surface to form a protective weak acid film, which can prevent the invasion of bacteria. Keep skin moist and make skin soft and smooth.
When children enter adolescence, the secretion function of sebaceous glands is touched due to the large demand for growth hormone and sex hormone. As a result, a large amount of excess oil rushed to the skin surface, some of which reached the body surface smoothly, and some were blocked by traffic jams. Due to fate, these sealed oils developed into different forms under different circumstances:
1. Blackhead
Grease blocks the hole, and before it is discharged from the hole, it is mixed with air pollution, dust and residual makeup and falls into the pores. As a result of "vulcanization" with sulfur dioxide in the air, a black, sour and hard lump is formed, which blocks the pores and gradually expands. Blackhead acne mostly occurs on the forehead, both sides of the bridge of the nose and chin.
2. Whitehead acne
Dead keratinocytes that have fallen off, are falling off and have not yet fallen off gather on and around pores, so that the gushed oil cannot be discharged smoothly. Due to accumulation and extrusion, small white spots as big as small grains of rice will be formed on the skin surface. Whitehead acne is more likely to appear on cheeks and chin.
Step 3: acne
Sometimes, the crowded pores can no longer bear the saturated pressure, and the oil, bacteria, dead cells and dust gathered in the pores are ready to explode at any time. At this time, the blood circulation waiting for combat readiness at any time also sent a large number of white blood cells for reinforcement, so there was an inflammatory reaction of congestion, swelling and pain on the skin surface.
4. Cyst
If the components of oil, bacteria, dead cells and dust particles form a small group, go deep into the ground and are deliberately destroyed, this powerful team will wander between connective tissues of dermis, attack sebaceous glands that have not been blocked, and eventually cause infection in dermis, forming a large area of inflammation such as redness and swelling on the skin surface.
What you must never do:
1. Don't wash your face often. Washing your face twice a day is a rule that you must abide by. Often washing your face will stimulate the secretion function of sebaceous glands, because once the oil on the skin surface is washed away, sebaceous glands must work overtime to play their natural protective function, so that sebaceous glands will become drier and more lively.
2. Don't over-stimulate the epidermis with scrub and astringent water scrub and astringent water, which will worsen the inflamed skin condition and aggravate the secretion function of sebaceous glands, and make the situation worse. In addition, astringent water can shrink pores and make clogged pores smaller.
3. Never pick, squeeze or pick acne. Each life cycle of acne is only 3-4 days. It will naturally disappear or fester. If you squeeze with your hands or tools, it won't help. On the contrary, it will cause secondary infection due to bacteria on your hands, or blood stasis under your skin, leaving scars that will disappear for 4-6 weeks due to the strength of squeezing. In addition, the wounds caused by digging and squeezing, after repeated stimulation, skin hyperplasia, forming raised scars.
4. Never smoke. Nicotine in cigarettes will shrink the microvascular wall, accumulate toxins in blood and lymph, and reduce the reoxygenation rate of skin cells, thus weakening the healing ability of skin and easily forming cross infection of acne wounds.
5. Eat less spicy, fried and high-calorie foods, although these foods will not directly lead to the formation of acne. But it will "worsen" the condition of acne, because these foods will increase the load capacity of the heart, reduce the quality of vitamin K in the blood, and indirectly induce the formation of acne.
Possible causes of acne:
As we said before, the cause of acne is only excessive secretion of sebaceous glands. It stands to reason that acne should disappear after puberty. But in fact, nearly 30% of people still develop acne after puberty, which is most likely caused by the following reasons:
① Endocrine disorder has always been an important culprit in inducing acne. If the secondary parts of acne always stay in chin and temple, it is necessary to see Chinese medicine or western medicine to regulate endocrine. Solving this problem is an important task.
② Digestive system problems, such as constipation, habitual diarrhea, hyperacidity and ulcer. It will lead to the accumulation of toxins in the body and the waste will not be discharged normally. At this time, the reflective part of the digestive system-the mouth; Acne will also appear on both sides of the lines.
(3) Stress, such as moving to a new home, going abroad, changing jobs, getting married, having children, taking exams, etc., will also cause imbalance in physiological functions.
Lifestyle, eating habits, sleep quality, long-term fatigue, excessive alcohol and tobacco are also chronic reasons for the cessation and recurrence of acne, and the destructive power cannot be ignored.
⑤ When the climate changes and the temperature rises suddenly, the conduction code secreted by sebaceous glands will temporarily fail, which will also cause short hair acne. If handled properly, it will disappear in a few days.
8. Drugs that stimulate certain drugs, such as oral contraceptives, diet pills, menstrual drugs, or drugs containing bromide and iodide, will stimulate endocrine disorders or cause toxin accumulation, forming the so-called "toxic acne".
7 bad habits do not pay attention to the hygiene of hair and collar; Accustomed to holding cheeks and picking faces; Incomplete makeup removal, incomplete face washing and protective day cream are the external causes of acne formation, but they are also the most common reasons.
What you have to do is:
1. Find out the cause of acne and prescribe the right medicine.
Only by thoroughly improving the causes of recurrence can we effectively control the spread of acne. Therefore, please solve the improvement fundamentally according to the induced reasons listed above.
Attention to personal hygiene
Personal hygiene habits determine how long acne stays on the face. If you have acne around your chin and mouth, please don't wear clothes with collars. The collar is a hiding place, and constant friction with the chin can easily aggravate the disaster. In addition, you should always keep the habit of combing your hair behind your ears without leaving bangs, so as to avoid the deterioration of dust and oil stains on your hair and infection with acne.
3. Keep the habit of changing the pillow towel and pillowcase every week or even every day.
Most people don't know, in fact, pillowcases and sheets are the places where dead cells, mites, dust, dandruff and other dirty things are most likely to accumulate, and long-term sleep is more likely to breed bacteria. Therefore, dermatologists strongly advocate and maintain the good habit of changing pillow towels every day, especially those with severe acne, and pay more attention to this.
4. Use less hair gel and styling liquid. If you have to use it, please be careful to isolate it from your face.
Once the fixing components in hair gel and styling liquid are sprayed on the skin, it is easy to block pores and it is more difficult to clean grease and dirt. In addition, washing your hair every day and keeping your hair clean can also improve the acne situation and prevent infection.
5. Pay attention to whether the selected cosmetics contain oily hydrophilic formula.
Friends with acne, sometimes applying some foundation moderately, can have a considerable degree of "concealer" beautification effect, but when choosing foundation and lipstick, we should pay attention to avoid oil-soluble products to avoid acne deterioration. At present, professional makeup brands have developed gouache cream, which is very suitable for oily skin. The texture is refreshing and does not increase the burden of skin oil. Best of all, this dual-purpose powder cream has the functions of foundation and powder distribution at the same time. Don't make acne more obvious because of powder distribution.
6. Do a good job in sun protection.
Once the ultraviolet rays in the sun directly penetrate the epidermis through the wound of acne, they will form black spots like ice gouges on the wound, and even after the acne disappears, they will still leave burn marks like black spots. If you are worried that the sunscreen is too oily, you can use a facial tissue to absorb the excess oil after applying the sunscreen. This will not affect the function of sunscreen, but also prevent the burden of oil.
7. Use protective articles with oil control and fat cleaning functions.
Modern beauty technology has been concerned about the real problem of oily skin. In the past, most oily skin care products can only temporarily wash off excess oil on the face, but the oily skin care products listed last summer also emphasized the functions of "controlling oil" and "cleaning fat", that is, using biochemical or plant ingredients to penetrate deep into the skin. Control the secretion function of sebaceous glands, "absorb oil" on the skin surface, transform oil, and shrink pores at the same time, thus reducing the amount of oil secretion.
8. Be patient when acne breaks out and becomes inflamed.
It's not easy to control yourself from squeezing acne. You can buy a tube of youth gel with strong anti-inflammatory and acne-removing functions, and when acne has not occurred or has occurred, use a cotton swab to soak the youth gel on acne. This can help acne dry up and accelerate the end of life. But please note: youth gel can only be applied to acne, not to the whole face, so as not to excessively stimulate uninfected skin, but to cause redness and swelling.
9. Eat more vegetables and fruits with more vitamins to ensure adequate sleep and normal eating habits.
10. A happy mood is a good way to cure acne.
Don't think that you are the only one with acne in the world. Remember, acne is just an episode in life and will soon pass. As long as you handle it correctly and don't let it interfere with your emotions, you will find it fragile!
