Let’s look at the five principles that we must follow to escape the pain of adult acne. 1. Clean cleansing considering your skin barrier You must wash away the sebum and waste without squeezing pimples because forcing your hand to squeeze pimples can increase inflammation and lead to acne scarring. And if you put on color makeup to cover acne or acne scars, you should wash them off more meticulously because the color cosmetics can block your pores and make acne worse. If you are doing double cleansing that is cleansing twice using oil and water-based cleanser, it is good not to wash your face like that because it can damage your skin barrier by overly irritating your skin and make acne worse. 2. Do not use oil cleansers that may leave residue on your skin. Cleansing is a very important factor in acne. If you don’t wash away all the dust, cosmetic residue, sweat, and sebum on your skin properly, they will get tangled on your skin to block pores and cause acne. Above all, if you don’t remove the color makeup properly, inflammation gets worse or you may get comedone. Especially if you’re an acne sufferer, you shouldn’t use an oil cleanser to remove makeup. You’d better use light cleansers such as foam types or powder types that contain antibacterial ingredients and are less oily and irritating because oil remains on your skin and is likely to cause problems. You should also pay more attention to the areas around your nose or hairline where makeup residue is likely to remain and wash them clean. When you wash your face, avoid rubbing too hard or exfoliating too much, as this can irritate your skin and lead to inflammation. 3. Use cosmetics that contain ingredients that can relieve acne. It is helpful for people with adult acne to use products containing Tea Tree Oil, Salicylic Acid, Azelaic Acid, Niacinamide, Zinc-PCA, and Piroctone Olamine that have skin-soothing and anti-inflammatory effects. Tea Tree Oil is known to have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, Salicylic Acid effectively dissolves dead skin cells, and Azelaic Acidacid helps soothe inflammation. Niacinamide, known as a whitening ingredient, is very effective in relieving inflammation. The Zinc-PCA, a natural moisturizing factor, controls sebum secretion because it kills acne germs, reduces sebum secretion, and minimizing enlarged pores. In addition, Piroctone Olamine, an antibacterial component, eliminates the causative bacteria of acne and controls sebum secretion. For women in their 20s who have greatly increased the types of cosmetics they use, it is good to check ingredients thoroughly when purchasing cosmetics because more ingredients come into contact with their skin, which is more likely to cause skin irritation. 4. Avoid cosmetics that contain five ingredients that aggravate your acne. Typical ingredients that adversely affect acne include Bees Wax, Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Peanut Oil, and Petrolatum. These ingredients can exacerbate acne by supplying oil to oily skin and increasing sebum secretion, so if you have acne, you should refrain from using cosmetics containing these ingredients. 5. Should eat foods that help you improve your acne. Vitamin A, Vitamin B (such as B2 and B6), Vitamin C, and other minerals-rich vegetables and fruits such as cabbages, lettuces, carrots, tomatoes, apples, and grapes help improve acne. In addition, fish containing omega-3 can help improve acne. However, high-fat and high-sugar foods that increase sebum secretion such as chocolates, dairy products, and junk foods make acne worse, as shown in the above results, if possible, so it is better to avoid eating such foods. And having regular eating habits helps relieve acne.
