Publish Date： 2025/1/8
I thought that after enduring the hot summer, acne wouldn't bother me anymore, but what I didn't expect was that in winter, acne would continue to turn into a demon, causing me a lot of trouble. Why do pimples still skyrocket in winter even when facial oil secretion decreases?
What is acne
From a medical perspective, "acne" is a manifestation of acne. Its causes are complex and intricate, involving multiple aspects such as abnormal sebum secretion, blocked hair follicle openings, bacterial infections, and inflammatory reactions.
Reasons for frequent occurrence of acne in winter
In winter, the temperature drops sharply and the humidity is low, causing the skin to lose water quickly. In this case, the skin's defense system will be activated. In order to get rid of dryness, the skin will secrete more oil to maintain balance. Once the oil secretion is too high and the hydration and moisturization are not done properly, it is easy to cause acne problems. In addition, people like to eat greasy and high calorie foods in winter. Although they satisfy their appetite, their skin is affected, which can lead to a series of acne outbreaks.
How to do good skin care in daily life
Cleaning work should be done well
Friends who may experience acne due to dryness should pay extra attention to cleaning and avoid excessive cleaning to avoid damage to the skin. It is recommended to use mild skincare products. At the same time, it is recommended that everyone regularly air dry clothes, bed sheets, and duvet covers when the weather is clear, and ensure that laundry is washed in a timely manner. This can not only improve sleep comfort, but also effectively prevent various skin problems.
Moisturizing and hydrating should be done in a timely manner
The ideal state of the skin is a balance of water and oil, with sufficient moisture and appropriate oil in the stratum corneum, so as not to stimulate sebaceous glands and secrete excessive oil due to dehydration, causing acne. So, to calm the "little emotions" of acne sufferers, it is necessary to do a good job of moisturizing and hydrating.
Protect the skin barrier well
When the skin appears dry and peeling, it means that its barrier function has been damaged. Once the skin barrier is damaged, it can cause a series of skin problems. Therefore, it is recommended to choose products containing ingredients such as glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, ceramide, and carbomer, which help maintain skin moisture and repair damaged skin barriers.
Laiwo Medical Warm Reminder: If you have acne, do not squeeze it. Squeezing pimples may cause inflammation to spread, worsen infections, and even leave scars that are difficult to eliminate. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to a healthy diet, maintain a good daily routine, and adhere to scientific skincare practices in order to keep the skin in a healthy state and avoid acne problems.
