Skin symptoms of over-cleansing

Nowadays, everyone cleans their skin regularly, especially those with oily skin. If they don’t clean their skin every day, their skin will often appear oily and look very unsightly. However, when cleansing your skin, you should be moderate and use skin care products that are suitable for your skin regularly, but avoid excessive cleansing. So, what are the skin symptoms of over-cleansing?

For oily skin, always wanting to get rid of the oily look on the face can easily lead to over-cleansing of the skin.

Excessive cleansing may cause the following skin lesions:

1. Adult acne: This is because washing your face too much may cause an overreaction of the sebaceous glands. At this time, if the moisturizing product does not penetrate into the skin but remains on the skin, acne may occur.

2. Seborrheic dermatitis: characterized by flaky red scales on the scalp or T-zone.

For sensitive skin, the skin itself is very fragile. If it is over-cleansed, it is easy to develop the following skin lesions:

1. After washing your face with hot water, you will feel a burning sensation.

2. There are red spots on the cheeks, the skin is extremely dry, applying skin care products may hurt, and the skin loses elasticity.

How should we take care of our skin after over-cleansing?

1. First of all, you should stop using all cosmetics and choose hypoallergenic skin care products. Wash your face with warm water, then pat your face with cold water. Choose a gentle skin care product, such as Avène, which is specifically designed for sensitive skin. Furthermore, do not exfoliate and do not use facial cleanser now. Just clean your face with clean water, supplement vitamin E and vitamin C, and eat more foods rich in collagen to enhance the skin's resistance.

2. Do not take medicine without authorization. If you have skin problems, do not go to the drugstore to buy allergy ointment without first being diagnosed by a dermatologist, as this will harm your skin. Because it is effective in suppressing skin inflammation temporarily, but long-term use will produce side effects and endanger health.

3. To strengthen the skin's resistance. Methods include getting enough sleep, eating a balanced diet, maintaining a harmonious mood, reducing skin irritation, and paying attention to sun protection.
