Does using cleansing oil help clear acne? Doctor: There will be more acne and acne!
Will using cleansing oil to clear acne actually lead to more acne? Dr. Hu Yixuan said that acne and acne are caused by the excessive secretion of oil and keratin in the skin. Now that oil is already produced, applying excess oil to your face will actually cause damage to your skin. When massaging the face with cleansing oil, the oil can soften the acne and clear out some of the acne by “oil dissolving oil”, which may irritate the skin and cause burden.
Dr. Hu Yixuan further explained that the ingredients of cleansing oil are mostly mineral oil and synthetic oil. For skin prone to acne and acne, it is more likely to aggravate the problem of acne and acne. Even if you don’t use cleansing oil, use jojoba oil and coconut oil instead. Oil and other vegetable fats may also cause skin burden. Especially if the above-mentioned oils are not cleaned away, they may continue to irritate the skin and make the skin more greasy.
Dr. Hu Yixuan reminds that if you use products with high oil content on your face, you usually need to use products with stronger cleaning power to wash off the excess oil. However, excessive cleansing will damage the skin’s stratum corneum and destroy the sebum membrane, leading to more Skin problems. Therefore, if your skin is acne-prone or blemish-prone, you can use makeup remover milk, makeup remover water, makeup remover and other products with lower oil content when removing makeup.
How to properly remove makeup and care for your skin? Doctors revealed three key points: use enough, emulsify enough, and cleanse thoroughly
Dr. Hu Yixuan said that if you want to remove makeup from your face, you need to pay attention to three key points:
The amount of makeup remover products must be sufficient. Not using enough makeup remover means makeup will easily remain on your face. If makeup is not removed completely, your skin quality will not only become worse, but it will also lead to clogged pores, acne and acne.
Complete the emulsification step. The emulsification step is to mix the makeup remover with water until it appears milky white. This step will change the “surfactant” in the makeup remover to make it hydrophilic, helping to cleanse the makeup deep in the pores.
Use facial cleanser after removing makeup. No matter which kind of makeup remover you use, remember to use facial cleanser to wash away the remaining substances after removing makeup, but you don’t necessarily need a facial cleanser with strong cleaning power.
Finally, Dr. Hu Yixuan reminded the public that for those with severe acne and acne problems, it is recommended to use light makeup and makeup that is easy to remove. Do not use heavy makeup to cover up skin problems. Cosmetics are products used on healthy skin. If you have skin problems, you should find out the root cause of the problem to avoid increasing skin irritation. The Taiwan Food and Drug Administration also reminds that the correct use of makeup remover products can remove residual makeup on the face and maintain healthy skin. However, you must still pay attention to whether your skin type is suitable to avoid irritation, allergies, peeling and other skin health problems.
