How long does it take for skin problems to get better?

There is really no unified standard. Mild and transient skin problems can subside in three to five days to a week. Chronic skin problems that are deep and long-lasting can only be said to be "completely stabilized" by months or even years.

There is a lot of quarrel on the Internet about this. Some people say that their redness due to allergies can be cured by applying a repairing mask the next day. Those who say that conditioning will take several months are all selling products like Jiaqiao. Others say that their bad face has not healed in two or three years. Those who say that "results can be seen in a week" are all liars. In fact, there is nothing wrong with what they say, but the skin problems they encounter are not the same at all.

A while ago, I met a young girl who had just graduated. She had an acute allergy to a niche facial mask given by a friend. Her whole face was swollen and shiny, and she was covered in small blisters. She was crying and worried about leaving scars. I asked her to stop all functional products and only apply saline for 5 minutes every day, then apply a layer of mild repair cream, and weld the hat and mask on her face when going out. After 12 days, her face was completely smooth, and there was not even a red mark left. But there is also a sister who works in foreign trade. She used high-concentration fruit acid for half a year to remove chloasma. She also used several Internet celebrity whitening pills of unknown origin. She suffered severe barrier damage + rosacea. Her face was always as hot as if she had a hot water bottle, and she also had dense pimples. In the first three months of her backlight rash, she had good symptoms and bad symptoms almost every week. Sometimes she felt her face was no longer red the day before, but the next day it was back to its original shape after a cold wind blowing and staying up late. After more than 9 months of hard work, she finally dared to apply it normally and go out in isolation without having to cover her face with a mask at all times.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the epidermal metabolism cycle of our healthy skin is originally 28 days. If you are over 30 years old, or your skin has been damaged for a long time, the metabolic cycle will be longer. If the problem is just a temporary irritation on the surface, such as a sudden sunburn or two inflammatory acnes after eating spicy food, and the dermis has not been damaged, then the recovery will be faster. ； If the barrier has been damaged and there is latent chronic inflammation in the dermis, then the skin must be given enough time to grow new healthy cuticles and slowly suppress the deep-seated inflammation, right?

Don’t be too anxious. I’ve seen many people change products blindly after using it for half a month without seeing any obvious results. Apply acid today and exfoliate tomorrow, which only makes their face worse. If the conditioning program is truly symptomatic, even if it is a chronic skin problem, you will see signs of improvement in two or three months. If there is no improvement after three months of conditioning, it is probably because the method is wrong. Just stop the adjustment program immediately. There is no need to hold on and waste time.
