Make-up, work overtime, face acne

Lina is a senior white-collar worker. In order to maintain her good image in the customer, she wears makeup every day and uses a variety of cosmetics to cover up a little flaw on her face. She earns a lot of money, often visits high-end beauty shops and makeup cabinets, and has used many cosmetic products. Her meticulous decoration and decent dressing have won praise from everyone. Everyone praised her for her presence in the face, and her youth is not old. Recently, however, Lina found that her face gradually developed some pimples, acne, pustules in some places, one batch went on, and the other batch went on. At first, she thought that she was eating and getting angry. She tried to adjust her diet and eat food that she was good at, but it didn’t help.

After Lina went to the hospital for examination, the doctor pointed out that this is "cosmetic acne" caused by cosmetic clogging of the hair follicle mouth, such as improper use of foundation cream, scrub and other products, or the use of cosmetics with excessive bacteria, including Hormone cosmetics, or products used do not match the skin quality.

Professor Feng Aiping from the Department of Dermatology, Union Hospital, said that general cosmetic acne occurs after 1 week to 1 month of use of cosmetics. Some of them are caused by chemical substances, causing local allergies, which damage the protective layer of the skin and easily induce an increase in bacterial infection. It can also cause inflammation of the hair follicles. It is characterized by inflammatory papules, pustules or cysts on the face, which are characterized by remission and recurrence. Professor Feng suggested that Lina should try to reduce the amount of makeup and actively treat the existing skin lesions, otherwise it would ruin the beautiful face due to cosmetic acne and cosmetic dermatitis.
