Although Brother Tian in Guangxi is 56 years old, he attaches great importance to his appearance because he was scolded ugly by others when he was a child. The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is to wash my face, and it's not a simple wash.
Uncle Tian will use different brands of facial cleanser to clean his skin every day, sometimes several times a day, Aunt Tian always advises him not to wash his face so often, but it will hurt the skin, but Uncle Tian does not think so, but thinks that Aunt Tian is not like a woman, and will not maintain it at all.
But he recently felt that there seemed to be a small condition on his skin, not only a rash, but also small blisters all over his body, the more he looked at it, the more terrible it became, Brother Tian immediately called his wife to the hospital for a detailed examination.
Test result: skin cancer. The doctor's analysis may be related to Brother Tian's excessive skin care habits. Hearing this, his wife couldn't help but start crying, "I have long advised you not to wash your face all the time, but you just don't listen, now that you are diagnosed with cancer, what can you do in the future!"
1. Be vigilant: Excessive skin care may be at risk of cancer
We should all have a correct understanding of skin care, that is, according to the state of our skin to judge the number of cleaning, if too clean, it will cause a burden on the skin.
In the process of washing your face and bathing, your already fragile skin may be damaged, and at the same time, bacteria and fungi may take advantage of the weakness and cause the risk of skin infection. This kind of skin damage often leads to a weakened immune system, which in turn can lead to skin cancer.
But in life, many people care a lot about cleaning their skin, not only to help us remove dirt and oil, but also to enjoy the process of skin care. So, how do we properly cleanse our skin?
Avoid using excessively hot water
Using too hot water can damage the sebaceous film, causing water to be lost too quickly. Patients are advised to use warm water for facial washing in their daily life as much as possible to avoid adverse effects on the skin.
Control the amount of time you spend washing your face
The washing time should not be too long, generally no more than 5 minutes. Because washing for a long time may disrupt the normal balance of microflora on the surface of the skin, which can lead to a series of skin problems.
Massage the face appropriately
A proper facial massage stimulates blood circulation, speeds up metabolism and helps remove dirt and cuticles. However, it is important to master the correct technique and pay attention to the right amount of force, so as not to damage the delicate skin by excessive friction.
2. Don't be careless, these conditions or signs of disease appear on the skin!
Cleansing is an important step in daily skin care, and with cleansing products in hand, skin problems can be solved easily, and we can look bright every day. However, when using cleansing products, we may encounter some abnormalities, and this is when we need to be vigilant. Do you know what are the symptoms that indicate a problem with your skin?
Symptom 1: Burning sensation
When using hot water or alkaline detergents, it can cause the stratum corneum to thin and expose the dermis, causing a burning sensation.
Symptom 2: Decrumation
The use of harsh cleaning products can cause damage to the skin, causing epidermal cells to slough off too quickly, which in turn can cause scaling. This may be associated with conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, etc.
Symptom 3: Rash
A rash is the appearance of erythema, pimples, and other symptoms on the skin, which can be caused by an allergic reaction, such as an allergy to certain ingredients of a cleaning product. In addition, it can also be due to other reasons such as viral infections, medication side effects, etc.
3. These 3 types of people, skin care should be cautious!
In the fast-paced modern life, cleansers have become a must-have for many people's daily skincare routines. Every morning and evening, people cleanse their faces with cleansers to remove dirt and makeup residue and keep their skin clean. However, for certain groups of people, there may be some potential risks associated with cleansing the skin. So, who is not suitable for clean skin?
1. Sensitive skin sufferers
People with sensitive skin are often highly intolerant, and any external physical or chemical factors can trigger an allergic reaction. Alkaline soaps or alcohol-based cleansers used for cleansing can have a stimulating effect.
2. People with skin diseases
For people with skin diseases, such as psoriasis, eczema, etc., the skin is already in a pathological state, and excessive cleansing at this time will destroy the skin's natural barrier function and aggravate the condition.
3. People with alcohol allergies
The skin of people with alcohol allergy has an abnormal immune response to alcohol, and the use of alcohol-based cleansers can cause symptoms such as local edema, erythema, and blisters. In severe cases, anaphylaxis can occur, including life-threatening conditions such as difficulty breathing and low blood pressure.
