Acne in autumn is fierce and doesn't seem to diminish with the change in weather. How to get rid of annoying acne and keep your skin fresh in autumn?
1. Whether you wear makeup or not, you should cleanse your skin with a neutral facial cleanser that contains makeup remover and has strong oil control ability, at least twice a day. After washing your face, you can use a toner with astringent properties or a refreshing toner to wipe your face. Use an exfoliating cleansing mask at least once a week to clean your pores. Remember not to wash your face more than 3 times a day.
2. For oily skin with excessive sebum secretion, avoid massaging the face to prevent stimulating sebum secretion.
3. People with oily skin should not only wash their faces frequently but also wash their hair frequently because the oily scalp can cause acne at the hairline.
4. It is best not to have bangs or let your hair fall on your face as this can easily irritate the skin and cause acne.
5. After going out or exercising, make sure to thoroughly clean your skin to keep it clean and dry.
6. Avoid using foundation or makeup to cover up acne on your face. This can easily clog pores and have a counterproductive effect.
7. Try not to touch acne on your face with your hands, as this can easily irritate the face and cause folliculitis.
8. Pay attention to sun protection. The UV rays in autumn are still strong and can damage the skin structure, making the skin sensitive. It not only worsens acne but also causes damage to the skin. Therefore, even if you don't apply skincare products, be sure to apply sunscreen before going out.
9. Your diet should be as light as possible. Avoid spicy foods, alcohol, smoking, and arbitrary consumption of supplements. Many Chinese herbal medicines, such as Astragalus, Cinnamon, Cinnamon Twig, Goji Berry, or commonly used female tonic formulas like Si Wu Tang and Si Wu Wan, can easily trigger acne.
10. Develop good lifestyle habits, exercise more, ensure regular sleep patterns, and drink more high-quality dairy products to improve intestinal function.
11. Make sure to get enough sleep, relax, and avoid liver fire rising, which can cause hormonal imbalances.
12. Drinking more water and eating more vegetables and fruits are also beneficial for beauty and acne elimination.
13. Try to avoid oily, sweet, and spicy foods, and avoid consuming too many foods with artificial colors and flavors, as well as foods containing caffeine, such as strong tea, coffee, cocoa, and chocolate. These foods can easily stimulate sebum secretion and cause endocrine disorders, leading to more severe acne.
14. People who are prone to acne around the mouth should pay attention to the use of toothpaste, as fluoride in toothpaste can easily trigger acne. Try to choose fluoride-free toothpaste and make sure to clean the residue of toothpaste around the mouth after brushing.
Principles for selecting skincare products for "acne-prone" individuals:
1. Avoid using skincare products with strong oiliness.
2. Temporarily remove all additional essences, such as whitening essence or anti-aging essence.
3. Don't rush for quick results and use facial cleansing products excessively or excessively, as this can cause skin dryness or tightness.
4. If the acne is not severe, you can continue to use makeup, but choose a thicker powder and pay attention to the cleanliness of makeup removal.
5. You can use a dedicated oil-control product.
