How to eliminate acne?

Acne is the most common skin problem. There are many factors that cause this phenomenon, such as endocrine disorders leading to increased oil secretion, or it may be due to dietary factors, lack of sleep and other personal behavioral problems. And because of the active secretion of sebaceous glands, many people with oily skin also suffer from acne. So how do we get rid of these annoying acne? We should have different solutions for different groups of people. For example, for oily skin, we should wash our face with neutral soap at least three times a day to reduce oil accumulation on the face. In addition, we should also start with our usual small habits, such as smoking and drinking less, and try not to use some inferior cosmetics. Here is a detailed introduction to how to eliminate acne.

1. Reasons

1. Dry stool

Constipation, failure of clear air to rise and turbid air to descend, lead to the rise of toxic air and toxins, mouth and tongue ulcers, swollen and painful gums, hoarseness, oily skin, and inducing acne, seborrheic dermatitis, and seborrheic alopecia.

2. Dietary factors

People who prefer spicy, greasy, seafood, fried foods and tobacco can stimulate the hypertrophy and proliferation of sebaceous glands, secrete large amounts of sebum, and induce acne.

3. Oily skin

The sebaceous glands secrete vigorously, which easily becomes a nutritional environment for acne bacteria, hair follicles, mites, etc., causing infection.

4. Drug factors

(a) Long-term oral contraceptives.

(b) Pharmacological androgens or hormone-like substances.

5. Drug use

Drugs are very harmful to the human body. After taking heroin, people will experience restlessness, anxiety, hot and cold sensations, goose bumps, tears, runny nose, sweating, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc. It can also cause mental and physical dependence on people. When our body is damaged by drugs, it will show up on the skin, which will provide conditions for the growth of acne!

6. Environmental factors

Pollution from air, soil, water, food, noise, radiation, etc. often puts the skin in a tense defensive state, slowing down skin metabolism, causing skin resistance to decrease and easily inducing acne.

7. Cosmetic factors

Long-term abuse of cosmetics will stimulate the sebaceous glands, accelerate keratinization and blockage of hair follicles, and thus induce acne.

2. Effective methods for treating acne

1. People with oily skin

Wash your face at least three times a day with neutral soap to reduce oil accumulation on your face. Sulfur soap is the best, but ordinary soap is also fine, but scented soap and acid soap are not suitable.

2. If you have acne, don’t squeeze it with your hands

This will cause the hair follicle opening to enlarge and the skin to become rough. When you need to squeeze out blackheads, be sure to use a sterilized suction device and wash your hands.

3. To reduce irritation to the face

Try to use a neutral hair lotion when washing your hair, and avoid letting wet hair cover your face after washing.

4. Pay attention to your diet

Eat more vegetables of all kinds and less fat and greasy foods. Sugar, smoking and drinking can also easily induce the formation of acne and should be consumed in moderation.

5. Massage therapy

Gently stimulate locally along the foot kidney meridian from bottom to top more than 10 times. Use your palm or a brush to stimulate the meridians along the bladder meridian from top to bottom 5 times.

6. Traditional Chinese Medicine

9 grams of depilated loquat leaves, 9 grams of mulberry bark, 9 grams of honeysuckle, 12 grams of selfheal, 3 grams of coptis chinensis, 9 grams of scutellaria baicalensis, 30 grams of pumice (pre-boiled), and 3 grams of raw licorice, add water and boil, take one dose per day. It has the functions of clearing lung heat, removing lung wind, resolving phlegm and softening hard masses. According to legend, the Crown Prince of the Qing Dynasty suffered from acne and was cured by following this recipe.

The best way to prevent acne

1. The Sun

Frequent exposure to direct sunlight not only causes damage from ultraviolet rays, but also activates the secretion of sweat glands and sebaceous glands, clogs pores, and accelerates inflammation. So be sure to do a good job of sun protection.

2. Iodine

Foods high in iodine (such as seaweed) should be avoided during acne outbreaks.

3. Swimming

The disinfectants and bacteria in the swimming pool can irritate the skin, so avoid swimming if you have acne.

4. Drinking

Alcohol makes the blood become weakly acidic, which indirectly causes acne problems. Drinking alcohol will accelerate blood circulation and trigger acne.

5. Massage

Facial massage can certainly promote blood circulation, but if there are inflamed pimples on the face, massage will make them worse or even infect them with more bacteria, so don't do beauty massage when your face is full of pimples.

6. Frying food

Fried foods contain a lot of oil. If the oil secretion is blocked or infected by bacteria, acne will develop!

7. Smoking

The toxins in smoke cause endocrine disorders, which lead to acne outbreaks. Quitting smoking is an essential step in preventing acne.
