What should a thirteen-year-old girl do if she has acne on her face?

Acne is a common thing in our lives. It usually grows on people's faces and other places. Although the actual impact on health is very limited, it can affect the image and make beautiful people become very ugly. Acne usually starts to grow during puberty and starts to grow vigorously in young adulthood. Let’s take a look at what you should do if a thirteen-year-old girl has acne on her face?

Acne is mostly caused by two reasons. One is that the skin is oily, the sebaceous glands are overdeveloped, and the sebum secretion is excessive. If the pores are clogged or oil cannot be discharged smoothly due to other reasons, the sebaceous glands will continue to secrete, and sebum will accumulate in the pores, causing bulges and pimples.

You should wash your face frequently with warm water and sulfur-containing soap several times a day to reduce oiliness of the skin. The skin's greasiness decreases, and the chances of dust and other dirt falling on the skin being sticky are also reduced, which can effectively prevent the blockage of the sebaceous glands and secondary infection of bacteria. In addition, do not squeeze acne with your hands, do not use oily cosmetics, do not apply external ointments casually, do not use external ointments such as dihydrotestosterone, Felocell Cream, and Enfu Cream, otherwise it will cause steroid-induced acne, and do not use bromine or iodine drugs, otherwise it will cause wart-like papules and proliferative acne. Eat less fat and sugary foods, less fried foods and irritating foods such as onions, garlic, and peppers, eat more fruits and vegetables, and prevent constipation and indigestion. These are all helpful in alleviating acne.

Precautions

1. Go to bed early and get up early, live a regular life, and ensure adequate sleep. Keep the affected area clean. Do not abuse cosmetics and drugs.

2. Do not eat spicy or irritating foods. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Drink plenty of water.

3. Build confidence, don’t be sad, don’t be distressed, and be in a good mood.

Daily cleaning

1. Insist on using facial soap or cleanser specially designed for acne-prone skin. It does not contain soap or alcohol and will not irritate acne.

2. Do not over-cleanse your skin. Because excessive cleaning will stimulate cells to secrete more oil, forming a vicious cycle.

3. Makeup removal and cleansing must be done separately, because only oil-containing makeup removers can completely remove oily cosmetics.

4. Use a special sponge to help wash your face to make oily skin refreshed. Rub the cleanser in the palm of your hand to create foam, then use a sponge to increase the foam; gently brush the sponge from the neck, around the mouth, chin, cheeks, nose bridge, etc., finally rinse off the foam with warm water, and pat your face with cold water.
