Can I squeeze a white pimple?

The weather is hot in the summer, and the oil secretion on our faces is very strong. Many people are prone to acne due to incomplete cleaning and improper care. Acne is distressing, and many girls can't help but squeeze it, which makes the problem on their face become more and more serious. However, some people wait until the pimples turn white before squeezing them. Squeezing pimples has risks, but can you really squeeze the pimples once they turn white? A detailed introduction will be given below.

Can I squeeze white pimples?

So the question is, why can we squeeze the pimples when whiteheads appear? What is this so-called acne maturation?

We have to start with the process of acne. Acne is caused by excessive sebum secretion and abnormal keratinization of pores, which prevents sebum from being eliminated in time and clogs the pores, allowing anaerobic bacteria - Propionibacterium acnes to multiply in large numbers, causing inflammation and redness, resulting in acne.

Normally, acne should be red and swollen. If whiteheads appear on the pimples, it means that the pores are no longer blocked. The so-called whiteheads are the sebum secreted that originally blocked the pores, but they are covered by a thin layer of keratin.

Whether it is man-made (applying anti-acne products) or naturally occurring, the appearance of whiteheads is indeed a good phenomenon. However, Teacher Xiao Douya does not like the saying that acne is mature, but likes to say that the "death date" of acne has arrived, ~(～￣▽￣)～ Many people like to squeeze whiteheads after the pimples appear. This idea is correct, but the method still needs to be particular. You can't just squeeze it with your hands. It's best to squeeze it with a clean tissue wrapped in your hands, or with a sterilized acne needle. The most important thing is that after squeezing the whiteheads, you still have to apply some anti-inflammatory drugs to avoid the recurrence of inflamed acne marks.

Of course, the best thing to do when dealing with whiteheads is to wait, allowing the sebum to naturally solidify and fall off. This way, basically no acne marks will be left, and they will disappear without any trace in about three days. It couldn't be better.

How to Get Rid of Acne

1. Never squeeze acne with your hands, because there are still a lot of bacteria on your hands, which can easily cause infection. Maintain good hygiene and keep your face clean.

Second, in terms of diet, you should pay attention to "four less and one more", that is, eat less spicy food (such as peppers, onions, garlic, etc.), less greasy food (such as animal oil, vegetable oil, etc.), less sweets (such as sugar, coffee), less hair-raising food (such as fish, shrimp, beef, mutton, etc.), and eat more foods rich in vitamins A/C/F and fiber (such as vegetables, fruits).

Third, drink more honey water. Honey can reduce internal heat, regulate the body, beautify and protect the skin. It is an indispensable helper in life.

4. Since you rest and touch the pillow for such a long time every day, the pillowcase and pillow that your face touches must be clean. It is best to wash the pillowcase once a week, and take the pillow out to dry in the sun frequently to prevent bacteria from growing.

5. Drink more water. Reasonable water replenishment is good for the skin and acne removal. Drink a glass of warm water every morning. Don't forget to drink water at work, as you sit still for a long time. Don't drink beverages all the time, it's best to drink more boiled water.

How to remove acne scars

1. Use massage to remove acne scars

Massage can promote blood circulation in the facial skin and enhance the skin's repair ability. Therefore, scars that have just shed blood can be removed by massage.

Method: First apply some skin care products with repair function on your face, then gently rub the scar with the base of your palm, do this 3 times a day, each time for about 10 minutes. If you persist in massaging for about two weeks, the scars will fade or even disappear.

2. Ginger slices to remove acne scars

Ginger has the effect of inhibiting the growth of granulation tissue and can be used to weaken and inhibit the growth of scars.

Method: Cut fresh ginger into slices, gently wipe the scar with the slices, and then apply the ginger slices to the scar area, change the ginger slices every 3-5 minutes, and repeat this 3 times. If you persist in this application for two weeks, you can fade the scar and make the skin on the scar area white and tender.

3. Apply vitamin C and vitamin E to remove acne scars

If the scar is dark in color, you can apply vitamin C on the scar. Vitamin C has a good whitening effect and can effectively reduce pigmentation in the scar area, so that the scar gradually returns to the color of healthy skin. Vitamin E can enhance the elasticity of the skin, and can penetrate the surface skin, deep into the subcutaneous tissue, and repair damaged areas. Therefore, vitamin E can also be used to remove scars.

Method: Apply vitamin C and vitamin E on the scar and gently massage for 10 minutes. If you persist for a long time, you can effectively lighten the scar.

4. Diet therapy to remove acne scars

Acne scars are largely caused by the skin's poor healing ability. There are some foods that can speed up your skin's ability to heal:

1) Lily, mung bean, snow fungus and lotus seeds all have the effect of evening out skin tone.

2) Eat more fruits and vegetables containing vitamin C and vitamin A. Vegetables: broccoli, cabbage, green vegetables, etc.

Fruits: kiwi, cherry, tomato, lemon, strawberry, etc.
