How long does it take for skin problems to get better

There is really no unified standard. Mild ones, such as sudden redness during the change of seasons and redness and swelling caused by eating spicy food, can be cured in 1-2 weeks if you find the right method. If you have sensitive skin, deep-rooted chloasma, or recurring cystic acne that has been suffering for several years, you will not see a stable improvement after 3 months of primer. It may take half a year or more to completely adjust.

A little girl came to the studio a while ago. She went to the botanical garden for a long time in the spring. Her face was so hot that she could fry an egg due to pollen and the sun. She also had a dense rash. Her skin was good, and she had never used strong drugs or other drugs indiscriminately before. product, I asked her to stop all facial cleansers and functional essences, only wipe her face with warm water every day, apply a repair cream, and only wear hard sunscreen when going out. On the 4th day, she sent a message saying that the redness was basically gone, and within a week, the rash was completely gone, without leaving even a mark. But there is another old customer who has been with me for almost a year. When she was in college, she blindly followed the acid trend and used the 7-day whitening mask sold by WeChat merchants, which turned her face into red bloodshot sensitive skin that would turn red and peel when touched. She was really good and followed the plan I gave her. , I don’t change products blindly, I don’t do anything blindly. In the first two months, it just stopped itching when the season changed. I didn’t turn red when I blew the wind. It was only in the third month that the redness visible to the naked eye was reduced by half. Now it’s almost a year before I dare to occasionally put on a light foundation and go out.

There are two factions arguing very fiercely on the Internet. One faction says that "the skin metabolism cycle is 28 days, and all improvements must wait for at least 28 days to be seen." The other faction says that "with the right method, results can be seen in three days, and the wait 28 days are just business tactics." In fact, there is nothing wrong with what both sides say, but the corresponding improvement dimensions are different. If what you want is a somatosensory improvement such as fading redness after sun exposure and instant hydration, there is no need to wait 28 days. If your face is red from the sun, apply a qualified medical cold compress and most of it will fade in half an hour. You can’t just wait a month, right? But if you want to completely repair the damaged skin barrier, let the collagen in the dermis grow to smooth out fine lines, and slowly metabolize the melanin in the dermis to remove blemishes, then you must follow the skin's own renewal rhythm. You can't just apply something to change your skin in three to five days.

Many people are anxious. They have just applied the repairing essence for two or three days and find it has no effect, so they immediately switch to another one. Instead, they irritate the skin that is already slowly adapting and recovering. In fact, this is the same as when you raise succulents with rotten roots. If you cut off the rotten roots and replant them in loose soil, you can't just pull them out the next day to see if new roots have grown, right? You have to give it some time to recover, right? Two years ago, I acted like a monster. I applied high-concentration salicylic acid for a week, which left half of my face open and closed. I was so anxious that I tried every remedy, but the longer it lasted, the more it grew. Later, I simply put it away and stopped all functional products. I used an amino acid cleanser to wash my T-zone every day, applied a basic moisturizing lotion, and only wore a hat and mask when going out without sunscreen. After about 10 days, my closed mouth started to shrink, and it disappeared after more than 20 days. After that, I dared to slowly add the whitening essence back.

Of course, I don’t mean to make you wait stupidly. If you use a certain conditioning product or method and it doesn’t get better after a week or two, but it becomes redder, more itchy, and has more acne breakouts, then don’t wait for the 28-day cycle. Either the product is not suitable for your skin type, or the method is wrong. Stop immediately and look for the reason. Don’t turn a small problem into a big trouble. In fact, after all, conditioning the skin is the same as nourishing the spleen and stomach. It is not something that can be rushed. Don't stare at the mirror every day and count the days, and feel more about the condition of your skin. It is less itchy, less prone to redness, and less oily. In fact, it is moving in a good direction.
