[Acne skin care]
Acne is often a problem in adolescence, but more and more people are suffering from “adult acne (U zone type)” caused by stress.
People with excessive sebum secretion and people with hormonal imbalance tend to develop pimples, and if they are crushed with fingers or covered with hair, they will get worse, and even if they heal, they will leave scars. It is important to take proper care of acne that has occurred so that it does not leave a mark.
◆ 5 precautions to prevent pimples from getting worse ◆
[1] Face wash
Wash your face morning and night with a mild cleanser . Scrubbing is strictly prohibited! The facial cleanser lathers well and gently cleanses as if washing with foam.
Leaving it unrinsed can irritate your skin, so don't forget to rinse your hairline, chin and neck as well.
When it dries, sebum tends to clog up, making it easier to get pimples. Moisturize after washing your face .
[2] Do not hide
Covering up pimples with makeup or hair clogs the pores, making it easier for acne-causing bacteria to grow. Be careful not to cover up your pimples with makeup or hair .
[3] Meals
Be careful not to take too much sugar and animal fat (butter, cheese, etc.). Let's take vitamin B2, B6, C positively .
Vitamin B2: liver, oysters, shiitake mushrooms, eggs, etc. Vitamin B6: soybeans, bananas, sardines, etc. Vitamin C: fruits such as strawberries and kiwis, vegetables such as tomatoes and broccoli
[4] Stress
Mental stress tends to disturb the autonomic nervous system and increases the secretion of sebum. Let's try to relieve stress with light exercise such as stretching .
[5] Sleep
Sleep is very important for your skin. It is effective to sleep soundly in the first three hours of sleep.
Studies have shown that exposure to bright light from a smartphone or TV before going to bed disrupts the secretion of sleep-related hormones and reduces the quality of sleep. Avoid bright lights such as smartphones and TVs before going to bed . If possible, it's best to get away from your smartphone or TV two hours before bedtime, but even if that's difficult, it's a good idea to turn down the brightness of the screen and keep your eyes slightly away from the screen.
It is commonly seen in people in their 20s and 30s.
Even though you have pimples, the surface of your skin tends to be dry and dry. It is mostly seen in working women.
Due to the disturbance of metabolism, old keratin remains on the skin without peeling off, making the skin thick and bulky and prone to sebum clogging.
In addition, sebum secretion may be excessive due to hormonal imbalance caused by stress.
It tends to be seen in all seasons, regardless of the season .
It can appear on the outside of the face, called the U-zone, such as the cheeks, lower chin, and nape of the neck .
■ U zone countermeasures
It is recommended that you take medicine that will condition your skin.
It is basic to clean the areas where pimples are likely to form, but it is related to the deterioration of the stratum corneum function due to physical condition and stress, so it is important to care for the condition of the stratum corneum.
Moisturize the dry keratin , suppress sebum secretion, and try to provide nutrients that increase metabolism .
Boost your metabolism! Foods rich in cysteine : edamame, honey, tofu, persimmon, etc.
Features of the T-zone type
It is commonly seen in people in their teens to early twenties.
As the body grows during puberty, the balance of hormone secretion changes. The balance of sebum secretion is disturbed and sebum is excessively secreted. Excessive sebum secretion clogs the pores, where bacteria multiply and cause inflammation.
It becomes easier to do from spring to summer .
It occurs mainly on the inside of the face, where there is a lot of sebum secretion, such as the T-zone from the forehead to the nose and cheeks. 
■ T-zone countermeasures
Medications that regulate excess sebum are recommended.
Use an ointment that softens keratin such as sulfur and makes it easier to excrete sebum , but if it does not improve, use oral medicine.
The most important thing is to remove excess sebum. Be careful not to eat too much sugar and lipids, which increase sebum secretion.
Also, wash your face regularly to keep acne-prone areas clean . However, for areas where pimples have formed, especially those that are red due to inflammation or pimples that have purulent and pale yellow pus, do not use facial cleanser and simply wash with water or lukewarm water. Let's keep it.

★ First, clean your back in the bath!
When washing, lather the soap well and wash with a soft towel so that it is wrapped in foam. Scrubbing with a stiff brush can damage the surface of the pimple and make it worse. Rinse thoroughly so that no residue remains.
Also, one of the causes is that the shampoo when washing your hair is not properly washed off, so if possible, wash your body after shampooing.
Also, if you take a quick bath with just a shower, you may not be able to remove the dirt from your pores.
Soaking in lukewarm water will open up your pores and make it easier to remove dirt and sebum. People who only have a shower in the bath should be careful. Try soaking in the bathtub to remove sweat, dirt, and sebum.
Relaxing in the bathtub and warming up your body improves blood circulation, boosts your metabolism, and even relieves stress.
* Don't forget to moisturize after bathing
For those who are concerned about the stickiness of the sebum on their backs, a lotion containing sulfur is effective. For dry or sensitive skins, use a hypoallergenic moisturizing lotion
★Are the bedding and pajamas clean?
Sweating while sleeping is also said to be one of the causes of back acne. Do you change pajamas and sheets frequently? Choose pajamas made of breathable material such as cotton, put a bath towel on top of the sheets, and change the bath towel frequently.
