What causes the so-called acne marks (in order of importance)
1. Gene: Helpless genes distinguish the "three-six-nine grades" of our skin; People with good skin, no matter how they spoil their skin, will be radiant the next day. Even if we are careful, we may get acne, but with the correct skin care the day after tomorrow, we can become a good gene. It takes three years and five years of skin planning.
2. Inflammatory pigment: Acne causes skin inflammation, leading to skin redness. The red mark on the eye is the color of inflammatory pigment. This mark will disappear after 6- 12 months, and it can be accelerated by some methods, which will be discussed in detail below;
3. hand base: the acne marks mentioned in 2 are the manifestations of inflammatory pigments. If the acne is solved by squeezing and buckling, the inflammatory pigment in the epidermis will deepen to the dermis, and the acne marks that disappear every month/kloc-0 may take half a year to disappear.
4. No sun protection: the damage of ultraviolet rays makes acne marks (inflammatory pigments) difficult to heal, the skin heals slowly, and the acne marks disappear slowly;
5. Long new acne: acne is like a laser cannon, which always produces a chain reaction. Many people can grow six pimples in one area, and the pimples still grow on it (I'm going to vomit). If acne is not properly solved, acne marks will be layered. What will it become? See below;
Simple acne marks may deteriorate into acne scars. The body uses the skin next to acne to grow new tissues to cure acne. In the process of healing, the gene itself+external factors (mentioned below) will probably make the scar permanent.
The epidermis grows inward from the periphery of acne to achieve the purpose of healing. After acne heals, it may leave holes in the skin. Most people are unlikely to have potholes, as follows:
The following possibilities will increase the possibility of potholes:
1. Post-acne extrusion: This is an important cause of permanent scars, which will cause ulceration and take a long time to heal;
2. Acne has been repeated for several years: because the skin has been inflamed-ulcerated-healed-inflamed, acne marks will worsen after repeated inflammation, and there is a chance of acne pits or permanent scars;
3. Micro-plastic surgery: people with acne are eager to remove acne marks, and as a result, they will do micro-needle and needle cleaning, which will easily leave acne scars and be difficult to heal;
4. Use "three no products": Many "three no products" contain hormones or super-irritants, aiming at replacing one inflammation with another (for example, if your skin is inflamed and has acne, I will disinfect you with super concentrated alcohol/sulfur and cool you down with cold high concentrated mint. As a result, the side effects are greater than the positive effects, and the strong stimulation masks the weak stimulation of your previous acne), and I don't want to save these people (buy skin care products and cover up your previous acne with strong stimulation).
Please note that scars are caused by local skin damage, and permanence is the characteristic of scars! Permanence is the characteristic of scars! Permanence is the characteristic of scars!
Just use whitening products to remove acne marks and scars. As mentioned above, we know that most people's so-called acne marks are inflammatory pigments (they will disappear automatically after 6- 12 months without treatment). Of course, we don't want acne marks to stay on our faces for six months, so ordinary people will be eager to buy whitening products to get rid of acne marks if they have this problem, but this is all wet.
As mentioned above, acne marks are inflammatory pigments, which are visual phenomena caused by skin inflammation, not melanin. Whitening products are aimed at melanin (and 80% of whitening products are useless at all, because the concentration of active ingredients does not dare to increase, so it is impossible to whiten. Remember the rhododendron acid in Japan? Boldly increasing the concentration played a role in whitening, and as a result, two large group companies were sued for using long white spots. Do large group skin care companies dare to increase the effective concentration? Crisis public relations is difficult to deal with, think of Joker Xue), so this is why many people can't get rid of acne marks even if they use a lot of whitening products;
However, some people have successfully removed acne marks with whitening products because:
1. This whitening ingredient is also an ingredient for repairing skin inflammation, such as VC, such as nicotinamide. So it can also help skin inflammation heal.
2. The skin is fair, and the visual impression of acne marks on black butter skin is weakened.
3. Your self-righteousness (psychological effect)
The only way to really get rid of acne marks: conditioning keratin+antioxidant reversal+anti-ultraviolet.
The vernacular is: exfoliation+antioxidant essence+sunscreen are indispensable.
Read after me three times:
Exfoliate+apply antioxidant essence+apply sunscreen.
Exfoliate+apply antioxidant essence+apply sunscreen.
Exfoliate+apply antioxidant essence+apply sunscreen.
Principle explanation:
1. Exfoliation: The source of acne marks is acne. Exfoliation can help the healthy cuticle of the skin, and pores are not easily blocked, which is one of the fundamental reasons to solve the problem of acne; Secondly, the normal metabolism of inflammatory pigment is 6- 12 months, and exfoliation can help accelerate metabolism, thus eliminating acne marks faster;
2. Antioxidants: It is generally believed that applying antioxidants to the skin can reduce free radical damage mainly caused by sunlight, oxygen and pollution, maintain skin health, resist sunlight damage and improve cell function. Antioxidants have also been proved to reduce skin discomfort and inflammatory reaction and help skin heal itself. Studies have shown that antioxidants can partially reverse skin damage (the gospel of acne scar patients); So whether you want to be young or get rid of acne marks, you should wear antioxidants every day. I recommend nicotinamide and VC;
3. Sunscreen: Everyone who knows me knows that I said not to use sunscreen for skin care. Indeed, the damage of ultraviolet rays will greatly hinder the self-healing of the skin, not to mention the disappearance of acne marks. It takes 6- 12 months for acne marks to disappear. The main reason is that you don't need sunscreen. As long as you can do it well, acne marks will disappear quickly (don't buy sunscreen indiscriminately, it is best not to apply sunscreen to acne. Here are some sunscreens suitable for acne skin.
In fact, I don't want to recommend skin care products in my pure knowledge column, because I don't want to advertise other brands and make the article impure; But put yourself in the other's shoes, if I don't recommend skin care products, all of the above are useless, because the general public can look up the ingredient list to find the right skin care products if they don't learn well; So before writing the article, I specially asked @ Beauty Potato. After getting a positive answer, I recommend the skin care products recommended by each step of the trilogy of acne marks.
1. Exfoliating product recommendation
There are many ways to exfoliate, but when I say exfoliation, I mean chemical exfoliation, that is, salicylic acid, fruit acid, A acid and so on. Instead of physical exfoliation, it is a scrub, a beauty instrument, and a pig nose patch; If you love physical exfoliation, please leave, your skin will never get better; Mild and effective chemical exfoliation can regulate the stratum corneum, and research shows that salicylic acid can thicken the dermis for a long time. Those who say salicylic acid can make your skin thinner also hope that you will leave early and your brain will be washed clean.
Paula Jane selected 2% salicylic acid brightening essence.
In a word: the most classic exfoliating originator product.
Suitable for people: people with insensitive skin who are prone to acne, veterans who keep their skin horny and healthy for a long time, because this is the most effective salicylic acid.
Usage: Use every night. If the skin is dry, reduce the dosage; If the skin doesn't feel, use a lot. If it still doesn't feel, apply the cotton pad area to your face for 1-2 minutes (it's normal for ordinary people to peel their fingers for the first time, so please observe the skin feeling every two days).
Paula Jane selected men's exfoliating conditioner.
A word of praise: salicylic acid is a representative product of mild texture of toner.
Suitable for people: novices with sensitive skin and experienced veterans who want to mix more.
Usage: Novices use it as toner every night, which is very gentle and unisex! If there is no peeling, use it sooner or later;
(the rightmost one)
Paula Jane selected 5% fruit acid skin softening essence
A word of praise: a star exfoliating ingredient suitable for autumn and winter instead of salicylic acid.
Suitable for people: people who have almost no acne marks, people who are eager to use salicylic acid after using it for more than half a year.
Usage: Use as essence every night (this one contains antioxidants, so you can use this one overnight). There are many brands of fruit acid. Paula's 5% is very comfortable, soft and fruity (not essence).
Boleda professional line supramolecular salicylic acid conditioning mask
In a word, praise: new technology gives the veteran a taste.
Suitable for people: only suitable for salicylic acid veterans who have used it for many years.
Usage: Apply as a facial mask for 10-20 minutes per week; Or use it as the essence every night for the night;
2. Recommended antioxidant products
Antioxidant products are like dogs, only three refreshing ones are recommended, one is nicotinamide, the other is VC, and the other is nicotinamide +VC.
Paula Jane's selection 10% nicotinamide essence.
A word of praise: used nicotinamide products with the highest concentration but the mildest and freshest.
Usage: Because the texture is like boiled water, rich people can use it as toner in the morning and evening, and those who have no money can use it after the toner at night;
Clinique new product-fresh 10%VC ampoule
A word of praise: ampoules ensure VC activity and make people want to use them.
Usage: use it after toner in the morning and evening (remember to use it within 28 days)
Avon/Avon New Active Whitening Intensive Freckle Removing Essence15ml * 3amp
In a word, praise: the key to crying, whitening, freckle removing and acne removing products is cheap.
Usage: Use after toner in the morning and evening, one bottle for 9 days.
3. Recommended sunscreen products
Only two models are recommended, and there is one I haven't opened yet, with gorgeous composition but never used. Not recommended. Paula Jane chose age-light repair lotion SPF30+, and good sunscreen is good lotion.
A word of praise: 22 bottles in four years, boys are embarrassed to apply liquid foundation. This natural color modification is simply wonderful.
Usage: The last step before makeup every morning.
Muscle research light whitening isolation milk (refreshing) SPF30 PA++
A word of praise: the king of cheap sunscreen that is refreshing and gentle enough to cry.
Usage: The last step before makeup every morning.
If you are unfortunate enough to have severe acne scars, in addition to doing the trilogy mentioned above every day, you can greatly alleviate the overall state of your skin (it will not look so ugly compared with acne scars), you can also try:
1. Injectable skin filler: a substance used to expand or fill a cavity. The function of filler is not permanent, and it needs to be injected repeatedly after a period of time;
2. Go to the hospital for skin change: chemical skin change with high concentration of salicylic acid, fruit acid or trichloroacetic acid can improve superficial scars.
3. Laser dermabrasion: You can choose a wide range of scars, or you can try the iluminage household laser skin rejuvenation instrument. Although it can't improve deep scars, it can improve the fineness and aging of skin. Stick to my correct skin care trilogy, and it will get better and better.
Ok, the article about acne marks has been written, and the products that have been good for so many years have been recommended.
