Medical experts talk about popular science | The "hormone face" that is hard to guard against

"Hormone face" is caused by the long-term use of hormone-related drugs on the face, which causes the skin to become dependent on hormones. During use, various skin problems are rapidly and significantly improved in a short period of time. Some whitening, freckle removal and anti-wrinkle products like to add hormones. Masks, cosmetic lotions, makeup removers, foundation liquids, eye creams, etc. may contain hormones. These hormone cosmetics show that the skin will quickly become white, tender and smooth. After long-term use, if you stop using them, you will experience symptoms such as skin redness, swelling, dryness, itching, rashes, and red bloodshot.

| How can you prevent yourself from getting “hormone face”?

First, when facial skin problems occur, you must first seek help from a professional dermatologist and use medications in a standardized manner under the doctor's guidance. Don't be afraid of the word "hormone" and don't rely on hormone drugs in large doses for a long time. No matter what hormones you choose, try not to use them on your face for more than 2 weeks.

Second, be sure to read the product packaging carefully before purchasing and using cosmetics. Cosmetics approved by the state should indicate their ingredients on the packaging. Do not buy or use products that do not have ingredient labels or have ambiguous ingredients.

Third, avoid going to informal beauty salons for long-term skin care and unclear medical beauty projects, and take scientific skin care. If there are signs of skin sensitivity, try to reduce skin irritation, for example, avoid overheating or overcooling or air-conditioning environments, avoid exposure to the sun, and cold wind. Avoid taking long hot baths and saunas. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Avoid mood changes. Maintain a happy mood and get enough sleep. At the same time, pay attention to sun protection. Patients with light sensitivity should pay attention to eating less coriander, celery, mud snails, rapeseed, spinach, lettuce, lettuce, buckwheat, figs, mushrooms, etc.

Once you find that you may have "hormone face", you should go to a regular hospital's dermatology department for treatment. Do not abuse drugs, or use folk remedies or secret recipes. The treatment of hormone-dependent dermatitis takes at least half a year or longer, so it is particularly important to cooperate with the doctor's treatment. Professional dermatologists will give different treatment plans according to the different degrees of hormone-dependent dermatitis, and provide scientific skin care suggestions to protect everyone's "face".
