What to do with combined acne

Closed comedones, also known as whitehead comedones, are a skin disease that is difficult to treat. The main cause of the disease is that the skin's stratum corneum is too thick. This type of acne is often not easy to appear. When treating closed comedones, you must be patient, exfoliate regularly, do deep skin cleansing, and pay attention to skin moisture retention. If the condition is serious, you should go to the hospital for regular treatment.

What to do with combined acne

1. Exfoliate regularly

Excessively thick stratum corneum that clogs pores is an important cause of acne. Choose the right exfoliating product and clean your facial skin thoroughly regularly to keep your skin healthy. Oily skin should exfoliate once a week, combination and neutral skin should exfoliate once every 3 weeks, dry skin should exfoliate once every 4 weeks, and sensitive skin should exfoliate once every 4 weeks if the skin is in good condition. The exfoliating product used each time must have small particles to avoid causing damage to the skin. Stop exfoliating if the skin is in a sensitive period.

2. Regular deep cleaning

It is best to choose a mud-like deep cleansing mask, which can absorb dirt from the pores. Deep-sea mineral mud and natural clay have very good effects in cleansing dirt and pores, allowing the dirty and black acne to be slowly cleaned, and the skin surface will become smoother and less rough. In addition, every time after using a cleansing mask, you should apply a toner with astringent effects on your face to prevent the pores from becoming enlarged.

3. Hydration and Moisturization

Imbalance of skin water and oil is also a cause of acne. After cleansing your skin with facial cleanser every day, apply toner and lotion, and use a moisturizing mask two to three times a week to regulate the water and oil balance of the skin and create healthy skin.

4. Remove makeup thoroughly

If the makeup residue is not removed thoroughly, it can easily clog the pores on the face and cause closed comedones. Be sure to choose the right makeup remover every night to thoroughly clean your face. After using makeup remover, you need to use facial cleanser to clean your face.

5. Squeeze acne correctly

If you squeeze pimples yourself, be sure to use the correct method. After cleaning the skin, use two clean cotton swabs to press hard on both sides of the acne until the linear secretions in the acne are removed. After each squeezing, you need to use a new cotton swab to clean the wound, and then apply a mild, soothing toner to the wound (soak the cotton pad with toner) for about 5 minutes. Although the cotton swab will not cause hard injuries to the skin, there will still be signs of redness and swelling, which will generally recover after half an hour.

6. Regulate oil secretion

People who are prone to acne often have large pores and oily skin. Therefore, the best way is to regulate the imbalance of oil secretion. For example, salicylic acid, azelaic acid, azelaic acid, fruit acid, etc. can help dissolve the stubborn oil and dandruff accumulated in the pores, prevent acne, metabolize keratin, and make it difficult for old dead skin cells to accumulate on the surface of the skin.
