How long does it take for skin problems to get better

In fact, there is no unified standard answer. Small temporary problems may resolve in three to five days, while old problems may even take three to five years to slowly return to a stable state. Individual differences can vary dozens of times.

A while ago, a girl born in the 2000s came to me to ask about after-sun care. She went to Sanya for three days and did not apply enough sunscreen. Her face was red and hot and she had a few small rashes. I asked her to stop all functional products and only use a mild repairing cream and physical sunscreen every day. She even used facial cleansers only at night. As a result, she took a photo without makeup on the fifth day. The redness was basically gone, the rash was almost gone, and she recovered in less than a week.

But this kind of good thing only happens to people whose skin is good and the problem is only temporary. If their own barrier has been damaged for a long time, or even has problems such as hormone-dependent dermatitis and severe acne, there is no point in rushing.

Some people say that after using a certain product, their acne disappeared in three days and their skin became two shades whiter in one week. This situation is not completely non-existent, but either it happened to be the right product for their skin type, and only a slight exfoliation is needed to improve surface problems, or the product secretly added prohibited ingredients. At the time, the skin looked smooth and delicate, but in fact, it forcibly peeled off a layer of the stratum corneum, and subsequent redness, acne breakouts, and sensitivity problems will come to your door. A girl I met before used Internet celebrity quick-acting anti-acne cream. At first, she only had a few aunt acne occasionally, but in the end she developed a hormonal face that became hot and swollen when exposed to cold or heat. She was followed up by a dermatologist for almost two years before it gradually stabilized.

Speaking of skin conditioning, it is really similar to raising potted plants. If you forget to water the leaves and the leaves become wilted, water them thoroughly and let them sit in a cool place for two days before they can bloom. If the roots are rotten and the soil is hardened, you need to change the soil, prune the roots, and slowly slow down. It is normal to not see any changes for ten and a half months. You can't just cut off the rotten roots and expect them to bloom the next day, right?

In the past two years, I stayed up late for more than two months in a row while working on a project. I also blindly followed the trend of applying high-concentration acid, which made my face shut up and turned red at every turn. I went to a tertiary hospital to register as a specialist. The doctor prescribed ointment and told me to streamline my skin care. , quit sugar and dairy products, I saw almost no obvious changes in the first month, and the acne still occurred. In the second month, new acne gradually stopped, and in the fourth month, the acne marks were almost gone. It took me half a year to return to the state where my face was not bad even with any makeup.

If you really want to improve your skin, don't always focus on the "how many days it will take". First, find out where your problem is. This is better than anything else. After all, our skin care is to cultivate long-term healthy skin, not to pursue a false good state in a few days.
