Twenty-year-old Miss Wang has an enviable neutral skin. Not long ago, her cheeks were covered with pimples, and she turned into purulent acne when she reached her menstrual period. She went to the clinic for help. The amount of oil on her skin is quite normal, and no other suspicious factors can be found. After detailed consultation, she found that she was working in a clean room. She believed that the cleansing oil could thoroughly cleanse the tiny dirt in the air. After using cleansing oil for a period of time, these symptoms appear. The doctor asked her to stop using it for two to three weeks, and her condition was under control.

 

Ms. Yang, who often has to put on makeup and has oily and sensitive skin, has improved her skin problems to a certain extent after medical treatment. However, she used cleansing oil for maintenance to avoid acne. When she returned to the clinic three months later, her entire forehead was symmetrical. Chains of small acne. The condition improved after discontinuing cleansing oil and medication.

 

　　 Dr. Zheng Ruling, director of the Department of Dermatology at Nanmen Hospital in Hsinchu, Taiwan, said that this type of oil acne occurred as early as 1980. Many women who were not acne-prone at that time developed pimples and even severe pustular pimples within a few months after using moisturizing skin care products, only to discover the mineral oil added in skin care products. It is acne-causing.

 

After the report was released, many cosmetics and skin care products discarded mineral oil and switched to ingredients that are less likely to cause acne. Even in the June 2003 issue, mineral oil is still listed as an acne-causing factor. Recommended for acne and oily skin. However, in recent years, some cleansing oil products designed for removing heavy makeup with mineral oil added have been strongly promoted as cleansing products for all skin types. As a result, patients who misuse cleansing oil are flooding in outpatient clinics.

 

　　 Dermatologist Peng Yubin pointed out that many of these patients are in serious condition. In order to let the acne and pus contained in it flow out, the doctor must draw a small knife on the lesion.

 

How common is the use of 　　 cleansing oil? Zheng Ruling said that since last October, a survey of nearly 10,000 questionnaires among outpatients found that nearly 50% of women who work in the park and are between 25 and 35 years old have the habit of using cleansing oil. Recently it has even reached 70% to 80%.

 

　　 She emphasized that cleansing oil is not unusable, but it must be used appropriately. For example, in acne special clinics, up to 60 to 70% of patients use cleansing oil as a weapon to fight acne, which is worrying.

 

　　 She said that the cleansing oil can indeed dissolve oily makeup such as mascara, eye shadow, non-marking lipstick, etc.; but it cannot be deduced by analogy. It is believed that the cleansing oil can dissolve acne. Because acne contains oil and old cutin, cleansing oil can dissolve the oil in the hair follicle, but it cannot solve the stuck cells.

 

　　 Not only that, after dissolving the skin oils, it may also cause foreign oils and keratin to get stuck together, causing more difficult pimples and acne, so do not want to use cleansing oil to dissolve acne.

 

 

　　 As for the oil acne that has occurred, Zheng Ruling suggested to stop using cleansing oil first, and then use oral medicine and topical medicine to control inflammation. Then use the third-generation A acid that has been paid by the health insurance to normalize the renewal of keratinous tissue.

 

　　 After the condition is improved, it can be used at intervals, or the mixed lotion can be used at a ratio of one to one in summer or one to three in winter to keep the skin keratin renewed and normal. More importantly, don't use cleansing oil as a weapon against acne and acne!
