Acne is a common skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is caused by a variety of factors, including hormonal, digestive, and bacterial issues. According to Dr. Le Vi Anh from the Department of Dermatology – Skin Aesthetics at Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital, acne is a disease of the sebaceous gland hair follicles that presents in various forms of lesions.
Sensitive skin occurs when the skin’s natural barrier is compromised, leading to increased water loss and easier penetration by external agents. Factors such as UV exposure, pollution, and harsh ingredients in cosmetics can worsen sensitive skin. Proper cleaning and moisturization are crucial for maintaining healthy skin. Dr. Vi Anh identifies 10 common skin care mistakes that can increase acne and sensitivity. These include improper cleaning habits, using harsh products, leaving makeup remover on the skin, not moisturizing oily skin, and using too much acne medication.
It is important to tailor skincare routines to different areas of the face and avoid overusing products. Preemptively pursuing anti-aging treatments can also harm the skin. Understanding and correcting skincare mistakes early can improve the health and appearance of the skin. By taking proper care of our skin, we can maintain beautiful and radiant complexions that are free from acne and sensitivity.
