How long does it take for skin problems to get better

There is really no unified standard answer. Among the cases I have seen as a skin care guide for 7 years, mild transient problems can be relieved in 3 days, and severe chronic skin problems can be stabilized in 2 or 3 years. The core depends on the type and severity of the problem, and whether you really follow the skin's conditioning rhythm.

Small temporary problems, such as the redness caused by not using sunscreen when going to the beach on the weekend, the redness and swelling caused by staying up late at night, and the small sting caused by temporarily changing skin care products. These are all "little emotions" of the skin. They only temporarily irritate the stratum corneum and do not damage the deeper layers. If you stop the functional products and apply a mild repair cream thickly for two days, it will basically disappear. Last week, I had three chin pimples after eating a very spicy hot pot. I applied 20% azelaic acid twice and then layered the repair essence. On the third day, there was only a light red mark left, which was completely invisible due to social distance.

But if the problem has sunk to the dermal layer, there is really no rush. For example, moderate to severe inflammatory acne that has been recurring for three or four years, hormone-dependent dermatitis caused by the blind use of Sanwu products, and years of red blood streaks caused by a naturally thin stratum corneum. These cannot be solved by applying something on the surface. It is equivalent to the "immune barrier" under the skin being messed up, and it has to be broken back little by little according to the skin's metabolic cycle. I worked with a junior girl before. In high school, she blindly used Wechat's "Special Effect Whitening Cream" to get a hormonal face. She became red and hot when she was hot, and itchy pimples broke out when the seasons changed. She went to the dermatology department of a tertiary hospital three times. In addition, she strictly avoided irritating ingredients every day, and gradually streamlined her skin care regimen for 16 months. Only then did she finally dare to use ordinary moisturizing lotion. Before, even if there was a strong wind for half an hour in spring, she had to go home and apply a repair mask for half an hour to recover.

Is the “28-day skin rejuvenation” that everyone is clamoring about now reliable? In fact, it is not all IQ tax, it depends on the corresponding needs. People with a healthy skin barrier have a dull complexion after more than half a month. They use some reliable VC and nicotinamide products and do sun protection. It happens that 28 days is the complete metabolic cycle of the epidermis. You can indeed see a significant brightening effect. It is not an exaggeration to say "skin rejuvenation". But if someone tells you that 28 days can get rid of the pits you have had for five or six years, and can completely cure the sensitive skin you have had for ten years, then you can just block them. It is 100% IQ taxed.

I have also seen many people get anxious halfway through the treatment. They always feel like "I've been using it for half a month and it's still not better." They turn around and switch to other strong medicines or go for medical beauty treatments that are not suitable for them. It should have taken three months to heal the barrier, but it took more than half a year to keep repeating it. In fact, it is the same as drinking ice cold water when you have just caught a cold. If the treatment is slow, you can't blame the treatment method for not working.

There is really no need to stand in front of the mirror every day and watch the changes. Find a regular dermatologist or a reliable conditioning plan. Stop messing with your face and follow the rhythm of your skin. On the contrary, you will get better faster.
