How to Get Rid of Acne

Acne is a major skin problem that troubles many adolescent boys and girls, because once acne appears on the face, it is difficult to cure, and it will greatly affect a person's appearance. Therefore, how to remove acne-type pimples is a method that adolescent boys and girls should learn. Next, I will introduce to you some specific methods for removing acne-type pimples.

Acne, a familiar yet unfamiliar word, because it is a little difficult to distinguish between acne and pimples, but acne is something that many young men and women will have on their faces. After distinguishing what is acne and what is pimples, how to remove acne becomes the biggest worry.

In fact, blackheads and pimples are collectively called acne. Acne is one of the most common diseases in cosmetic dermatology. It often occurs in adolescence and is also called acne, pimples or blackheads, folliculitis, and usually occurs on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders and upper arms. The main clinical manifestations are whiteheads, blackheads, inflammatory papules, pustules, nodules, cysts, etc.

1. Why do blackheads appear on the face? Is there a difference between blackheads and pimples?

There are five main reasons why acne appears on your face:

1. Excessive secretion of sebaceous glands (wet and sticky skin is easily contaminated by dust and unclean substances)

2. Incomplete cleaning (improper makeup removal and cleaning lead to blocked hair follicles)

3. Heredity (related to genetic genes)

4. Staying up late (the body's sympathetic nervous system does not get enough rest and changes occur, affecting abnormal secretion of sebaceous glands)

5. Climate (humidity and heat increase sebaceous gland secretion)

There are 4 differences between acne and pimples:

1. Different category characteristics

Acne is mainly divided into whiteheads and blackheads, which are generally small white or black protrusions and are more numerous; while pimples are generally redder and can appear alone or in patches. Pimples can also be divided into red and swollen acne, cystic acne and clustered acne.

2. Different causes

The causes of acne include genetic factors, incomplete skin cleansing, excessive secretion of sebaceous glands, staying up late, hot and humid climate, etc.; while the causes of acne include oily skin, excessive oil secretion, serious environmental pollution, spicy and greasy diet, oral contraceptives, staying up late, etc.

3. Different scope of problems

Acne is formed because a large amount of sebum and waste accumulates, causing pores to become clogged and then decomposed by bacteria. If not treated in time, it will develop into pimples. In other words, acne and blackheads can appear at the same time, and acne is the next stage of development of blackheads. When treating acne, you must also treat blackheads to completely eliminate acne.

4. Different treatment methods

The treatment methods of acne are more focused on cleansing the skin. For example, exfoliate regularly, control oil and moisturize the skin, deep cleanse, etc.; while the treatment of acne should not only pay attention to oil control and cleansing of the skin, but also pay attention to calming and anti-inflammatory of the skin, eliminating bacterial infections, etc.

2. External application and internal adjustment method to remove acne and skin care

External application:

1. Salt water flushing:

Salt water has anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects, and can inhibit acne to a certain extent, and is especially effective for early-stage acne. Use 15 grams of salt water to rinse the acne areas at the corners of your mouth 1-2 times a day, and the formation of acne can be inhibited in 2-3 days. However, be aware that salt water with too high a concentration can cause skin dehydration, which can make acne worse.

2. Steam face cleansing :

Fill a large basin with hot water, hold your breath, place your face on the basin mouth, wrap it tightly with a wet towel, and steam your face. Repeat this several times and then wash your face with warm water. Do this 2 to 3 times a week to keep facial pores unobstructed. Results will generally be seen in two weeks.

After steaming your face, you should not leave your pores exposed to the air all the time. You should immediately use toner to moisturize, clean and tighten the pores, reduce the formation of blackheads and acne, absorb excess oil secreted by the skin, and keep the skin fresh and smooth.

3. Fresh milk:

Boil half a cup of fresh milk, wait until it is warm, wet a cotton ball with it, and gently apply it on your face. After a while, the milk will penetrate into the pores and soften the blackheads. Wash it off with clean water and then gently squeeze out the blackheads. A small amount of vegetable oil can be added to milk, which can help remove acne faster without leaving any marks.

How to prevent it?

1. Pay attention to skin cleansing. For acne-prone skin, proper cleansing of the skin is particularly important. Choose a mild cleanser that is close to the acidity and alkalinity of your skin. It would be even better if it contains a moderate amount of salicylic acid to remove acne. When cleansing your face, you should not only focus on the cheeks. The area around the mouth is easily neglected, which provides a breeding ground for acne at the corners of the lips.

While washing your face, you can use the fingertips of both hands to gently massage along the skin texture for 3-5 minutes, then wash it with warm water to thoroughly remove dust and grease on the skin.

2. Choose suitable cosmetics. Oily or powdery cosmetics can easily make the skin more oily and clog the pores. It is appropriate to use water-based skin care products that contain more water and have a moisturizing effect. Before going to bed, you should thoroughly remove the day's makeup and avoid applying nourishing creams, ointments, etc. before going to bed, so that the skin can be relaxed, unobstructed, and breathe fully at night.
