How to avoid acne?

Acne has always been a skin problem that troubles many people. Acne greatly affects personal image and will also have a certain impact on skin health. Preventing acne is very necessary. In life, you need to keep your skin clean to prevent the occurrence of acne. You can clean your face frequently, choose facial cleanser or skin care products according to your skin, and eat more light food.

How to avoid acne

First, don’t wash your face too often.

Washing your face twice a day is a rule you must abide by. Washing your face frequently will affect the secretory function of the sebaceous glands, because once the oil on the surface of the skin is washed away, the sebaceous glands will have to "work overtime" to perform their natural protective function. In this way, the sebaceous glands will become more and more impetuous and more and more active.

Second, don’t smoke

Nicotine in cigarettes shrinks the walls of capillaries, causes toxins to accumulate in the blood and lymph, and reduces the reoxygenation rate of skin cells, thereby weakening the skin's healing ability and making it easy for cross-infection of acne wounds to occur.

Third, never use scrubs and astringents

Scrubs and astringents can over-irritate the epidermis, exacerbating already inflamed skin conditions, and can also stimulate the secretory function of the sebaceous glands, making the situation worse. In addition, astringent water can shorten pores and make the openings of originally blocked pores smaller.

At this time, you can choose some non-irritating facial cleansers or facial cleansers and moisturizers for acne-prone skin instead.

Fourth, never eat spicy, fried, or high-calorie foods

Although these foods do not directly cause the formation of acne, they will "aggravate" the condition of acne because they increase the workload of the heart and reduce the quality of vitamin K in the blood, directly inducing the formation of acne.

Fifth, never pick, squeeze or pick

If you rub acne with your hands or tools, it will not only be useless, but it may cause secondary infection due to the bacteria on your hands, or cause subcutaneous bruising due to the force of rubbing, leaving scars that may take 4-6 weeks to disappear. In addition, the trauma caused by picking and squeezing, after repeated impact and the effect of skin hyperplasia, forms arched scars.

If the acne is more serious, you can go to a beauty salon or dermatology hospital for acne treatment. Standard organizations have specialized acne treatment and maintenance. If you are at home, without disinfected equipment and environment, don't play tricks on your face.
