Is the recurring hormone face a result of metabolism?

Nowadays, people take certain medications due to various health problems. Medicines, especially Western medicines, contain certain hormonal components. If used in excess or improperly, they can cause various problems in the human body. Hormone face is a relatively common problem. Many patients with hormone-induced facial problems will have repeated recurrences. So, is the repeated recurrence of hormone face caused by metabolism?

1. How many days is the skin metabolism cycle of hormone face?

The normal skin metabolism cycle is about 28 days. This 28-day skin metabolism cycle refers to the time from cell division to shedding from the basal layer to the stratum corneum of the skin's epidermis. During this process, the skin will metabolize some waste and form a new cell layer for protection.

The skin of patients with hormone-dependent dermatitis is unhealthy and their skin functions cannot function normally, so their metabolic cycle is slower than normal. The skin metabolic cycle of patients with mild hormone-dependent dermatitis is 28-54 days, and the skin metabolic cycle of patients with severe hormone-dependent dermatitis is 72-74 days.

2. Treatment methods for hormone face

When you first stop taking hormones, in order to prevent rebound and worsening of skin lesions caused by the sudden withdrawal of hormones, you should avoid all external stimulation at this time and you do not need to wash your face within one week of stopping the medication. Avoid irritation. At this time, the original skin lesions will worsen, the inflammation will be more obvious, and it will feel extremely painful, but you must also endure and not use any hormone drugs. It is best not to use any external medication.

You can start washing your face after the second week. At this time, it can also be called a bare face, but relatively speaking, it only means washing your face with clean water, without using facial cleanser, soap, etc., and you do not use any makeup after washing your face. It should be said that this is also called naked face. But reduce the frequency of washing your face. You can wash your face once when you wake up early in the morning. If there is a lot of dust on your face during the day, you can wash it before going to bed.

But you must remember to use all kinds of cosmetics with caution. Many netizens say that washing your face every night can make your skin less dry. You can try it.

Everyone's situation is different. Generally speaking, at least after all skin lesions have healed and there are no symptoms for at least one month, you can try using less irritating facial cleansers and cosmetics. When using skin care products, you should start with facial cleanser. Wash your face once every night, and begin testing at the junction of your face and neck. If there is no problem in this area, you can gradually use it on a larger area, but please be extra careful. In addition, you should use a weak acid or neutral facial cleanser.

3. Hormone face maintenance method

1. You must maintain a good attitude and be determined to overcome hormone face. Don't just seek temporary results and use cold spray or hot compress methods, which will only make hormone face worse. When washing your face, you can use water that is about body temperature to clean your face.
