How long does it take to get better after treating skin problems

There is really no unified standard answer. Mild inflammatory papular acne and transient sensitive redness may be completely gone in 2-4 weeks. Hormone face and severe cystic acne that have been repeated for three to five years may require a year or two of treatment before they can be said to be completely stable.

The normal metabolic cycle of our skin is about 28 days. If you are over 30 years old or have long-term hidden damage to the skin, this cycle will be extended to 40 days or even longer. The speed of conditioning cannot be faster than the basic law of metabolism. A while ago, my best friend used a certain Internet celebrity's strong medicinal essence to suffocate her entire face and mouth. She stopped all irritating ingredients and only used a mild repairing cream and low-concentration salicylic acid cotton pads twice a week to wipe the area. After 21 days of application, there was no graininess at all, and not even red acne marks were left. But a few years ago, my mother randomly bought freckle masks from WeChat merchants and developed hormone-dependent dermatitis. In the first three months, she suffered from repeated redness and heat. It was only in the eighth month that she dared to use ordinary moisturizing lotion. Now, almost two years later, she finally dared to occasionally put on full makeup that lasted for six or seven hours.

The opinions on this matter on the Internet are actually quite polarized. One kind of people like to advocate "7 days of microdermabrasion, 14 days of lightening". This kind of thinking is basically IQ tax. Either it adds glucocorticoids, mercury and other prohibited ingredients to quickly exfoliate the skin, or it uses before and after photos to fool people. After using it, it will make the skin worse. ; There is also another extreme statement, which says that the skin has the ability to heal itself, and you don’t need to wait for any product to heal. This is too natural. For example, if you have severe acne with a clear Propionibacterium infection, and you don’t intervene, the inflammation will continue to go to the dermis, and it is easy to leave permanent acne pits and marks, but it will take more time to repair.

Many people always feel that they are slow in recuperating. In fact, most of them have fallen into the trap of "repairing and dying at the same time." Let’s just say that a little girl I received a consultation a while ago applied a repairing essence according to the plan I gave her. She stayed up until two or three o’clock every day to watch TV dramas. She also went to eat spicy hot pot with friends on weekends. She applied three or four replenishing masks a week to over-hydrate her. She told me that her redness was still not gone after a month of conditioning. Can you blame this on the ineffective conditioning?

Speaking of skin conditioning, it is actually a bit like raising succulents. If it is just wilted due to lack of water and a little red from the sun, just water it thoroughly and put it in a cool place for two days. If the roots are rotten and the leaves have turned to water, you have to dig out the rotten roots and dry them, then replant them in loose soil and slowly repot them. You can't expect to pour "fairy water" on them and they will be plump and plump the next day, right?

If you really want to see results quickly, there is no shortcut. First, find out the root cause of your skin problems. Don’t follow the trend and change products, and don’t repair and repair at the same time. Sticking to the rules is much more effective than searching everywhere for “how many days will it take for you to get better”.
