How long does it take to heal skin problems

In fact, there is no unified standard answer at all. Mild sudden skin problems can get better in three to five days, while chronic and deep-seated injuries are common for half a year or even longer. It all depends on the type and severity of the problem, and whether you can follow the right rhythm of conditioning.

Last week, my colleague stayed up late for three days in a row to catch up on a project, eating spicy crayfish every meal. She developed red and swollen pimples next to her cheekbones that were painful to the touch. She did not apply harsh medicines, but used a gentle cleanser every day and applied a soothing mask for three days.

But if you have accumulated old problems for several years and still expect to "change your face" in ten and a half days, then you have really been deceived by exaggerated skin care product advertisements. Let me just say that a girl with a hormone-prone face that I helped follow up before bought a 99 yuan 10-box whitening mask for a cheap price. She kept applying it for more than half a year. When she got hot, her face became as red as Guan Gong. She also broke out in small rashes and discharged yellow water. She just started to use the mask. The treatment was repeated frequently in the first two months, and she cried and said she wanted to give up. Finally, she patiently streamlined her skin care and adjusted her daily routine. It took a full 8 months before she could finally use a mild moisturizer normally. Now that the season changes, she is no longer so itchy that she can't sleep.

There are always people who argue with me, saying that a certain blogger changed his skin after half a month of acid treatment, so why is it so slow to get to me? Either the person has a slight thick cuticle and long closed mouth, and the problem itself is not serious, or the microdermabrasion filter is turned on enough, and if you really follow their method and mess with it, your face may get ruined faster. If you really have severe acne and go to the dermatology department of a tertiary hospital, the doctor will first prescribe you oral and external medicine for three months of observation. You may also experience an acne breakout period in the middle. There are not so many good things that can be seen immediately.

In fact, the metabolic law of our skin itself is here. The metabolic cycle of the epidermis of healthy skin is about 28 days. If the dermis is damaged, the repair cycle will be directly extended to more than half a year. Just like when you plant succulents, if the roots are rotten, you must first cut off the rotten roots and let them dry, and then plant them in new soil slowly. You can't just pull them out two days after planting to see why no new leaves have grown yet, right? Many people are just too hasty and change products after using them for two or three days without seeing any effects. The barrier that should have been maintained in three months has been delayed for a year or two and still not fully healed.

Don’t just listen to what other people say about how long it will take to heal and then use it on yourself. The same is true for tanning. An 18-year-old high school student may get rid of it after half a month. A 30-year-old office worker has a slow metabolism and may still have marks for two or three months. These are all normal individual differences. Oh, by the way, there are also those natural spots and deep chloasma, which can only be faded slowly and cannot be completely eliminated. If someone tells you that in a month or two, the spots you have had for more than ten years can be eliminated, then you must not believe it. It is most likely a strong medicine with banned ingredients. The risk of using it to ruin your face is much higher than the chance of removing the freckles.

In fact, there is really no need to ask "how long will it take for my face to get better" every day? Take a bare-faced photo with the original camera every week to see if the redness is lighter and the acne is less frequent. These small changes are all moving in the right direction. It doesn't matter if you go slower, it is better than messing around and ruining your face.
