How long does it take for skin problems to get better?

I have been working in the skin care industry for almost 5 years, and I have come into contact with anywhere from 1,000 to 800 skin cases. To be honest, there is no unified standard answer to this question. Mild skin problems can be significantly improved in 2 weeks, and there are many people who have serious chronic problems that persist for three to four years.

A schoolgirl who was in the same club stayed up late for three consecutive days during the final week and ate several spicy hot pot meals. Her cheeks broke out with red pimples and her mouth closed. Before, she always thought of using thick concealer to cover her face, which became more and more serious. Later, she was advised to stop all makeup and functional products, and use warm pimples every day. I used it with amino acid cleansing + repair essence + light moisturizing lotion. I relied on hats and masks to protect myself from the sun when I went out. I even switched to sugar-free milk tea. In less than 20 days, my face was smooth to the touch, and most of the red marks were faded. Even with light makeup, it was almost impossible to tell that I had a previous acne breakout.

But if your skin problem has existed for several years, or has damaged the dermis, or is even strongly bound to internal problems such as endocrine and immune problems, then the conditioning cycle really cannot be short. I met a 30-year-old sister before. She bought a 100-yuan "whitening and rejuvenating kit" from a friend circle for cheap. After using it for half a month, her face was glowing white, but her face turned rotten after she stopped using it. After being diagnosed with hormone-dependent dermatitis, during the first three months of treatment, she had recurring withdrawal reactions of hotness and rashes. Strictly Following the dermatologist's instructions, even the skin care products were all medical dressings prescribed by the hospital. It took a full year and 7 months before I could finally use ordinary moisturizing products without having to go to the hospital every time the season changed.

There is a lot of quarrel on the Internet about this matter. One group says that by adjusting the 28-day epidermal metabolism cycle, one can change the face in a month. The other group says that skin problems cannot be cured at all and can only be maintained for the rest of life. In fact, both opinions are a bit too absolute. The former deifies the basic metabolic cycle of the epidermis. If pigmentation and scars in the dermis have already appeared, or you have polycystic or recurring acne or chloasma caused by thyroid problems, just applying skin care products for 28 days will definitely be useless. If you don’t even find the right direction for conditioning, you won’t see any results no matter how long you delay. Most of the latter are people who have been through a lot of pitfalls, or who slacked off as soon as they got better. I have seen too many people who just stayed up late eating barbecue just after their acne disappeared for a week. They dared to use new whitening essences just after their sensitive skin stabilized for half a month. After repeated attempts, it didn't work, so they naturally felt that it was "not good". In essence, they still haven't done a good job of consolidating it, and they haven't figured out their skin's tolerance.

A few days ago, a girl came to me and asked me why it took only half a month for other people to get rid of their acne. She had applied it for three months and there was no movement. When I asked, I found out that she was still drinking full-sugar milk tea until two o'clock every day. Do you think this can cure it quickly? To put it bluntly, conditioning time is never calculated, it is accumulated by your own actions. Don’t wash your face eight hundred times a day and look in the mirror to see if it is better. Emotional anxiety will easily aggravate skin problems. On the contrary, relaxation will make the skin better faster.
