Why does washing your face with sulfur soap cause a lot of acne?

I believe everyone has seen sulfur soap, which is a soap containing sulfur with strong cleaning and disinfection capabilities. Many people choose to use sulfur soap when washing their faces because they think sulfur soap can treat acne-prone skin and inhibit the growth of acne. Sulfur soap is also corrosive to silver jewelry. Not everyone is suitable for using this soap. Why do some people get more acne after washing their faces with it?

In this case, stop using sulfur soap and do the following:

1. Wash your face frequently. Washing your face is very important and is the first step in treating acne. Use a neutral and mild facial cleanser and wash your face with warm water to avoid clogging your pores. In summer, use a strong degreasing soap to remove excess oil from your face and wash it about 3 times a day. The skin is drier in winter, so you only need to wash it once in the morning and once in the evening. You can use a mild soap instead to prevent the skin from becoming even drier.

2. Correct maintenance methods: Overly moisturizing skin care products and covering cosmetics will clog pores and should be avoided as much as possible. Prolonged facial steaming, massage, and exfoliation can actually cause pore inflammation. When you have acne, you should reduce the frequency of use of cosmetics and be thorough when removing makeup with cleansing oil. When it comes to skin care products for oily skin, choose refreshing and breathable products.

3. A balanced diet: which foods have a direct impact on acne? It is best to eat a balanced diet and try to avoid greasy, spicy and high-calorie foods. Eat more fruits and vegetables to maintain bowel movements.

4. Pay attention to bad habits in daily life , avoid touching the areas with acne with your hands, and try to avoid touching the areas with acne as much as possible. Personal hygiene habits should also be paid attention to.

5. A bad life schedule , mental stress, staying up late, and lack of sleep will cause sebaceous gland secretion disorders and lead to the formation of acne. Try to maintain a regular life, be in a good mood, and get enough sleep.
