How long does it take to treat skin problems and restore good skin texture?

There is really no unified standard answer. You can see significant improvement in as fast as a week, and as slowly as half a year or even longer. I have been doing skin management for almost 7 years, and I have seen too many people go to extremes.

Last week, I received a girl who was just a sophomore. She went to the beach with her classmates the day before and forgot to reapply sunscreen. Her face was red and hot from the sun, and a dense rash broke out on her cheekbones. I applied a soothing medical mask to her and prescribed a prescription drug. I used Duoyin's Repair Essence and told her to only wash her face with warm water when she got home, not to put on any foundation or makeup, and to replace ordinary sunscreen with physical sunscreen first. She sent me a message on the fifth day, saying that her redness was gone, her face was no longer rough when touched, and she was basically back to her previous state.

But if the problem has been accumulating for a long time, then there is really no rush. There used to be a 40-year-old sister who used Sanwu anti-freckle products indiscriminately when she was young. Later, she followed the trend and applied acid frequently, which made her face severely sensitive. She became red and itchy at every turn, and even ordinary sunscreen stung her face. When she came here, she almost gave up. I told her to at least be accurate. She took her time to prepare for half a year, and she was able to calm down. During this time, she never bought any popular Internet celebrity products. She just applied the repair cream according to the plan, and wore a mask and hat for physical sun protection. It took more than 7 months to finally be able to apply sunscreen normally, and her face would not be ruined when the spring breeze changed the season.

There were people on the Internet who used to argue with me, saying, "I saw a certain blogger said that you can change your face in 28 days, aren't you trying to trick me by taking half a year?" In fact, these two statements are very quarrel online now. One side said, "Quick-acting skin care is all IQ tax, it will take at least three months to see the effect," while the other side said, "Using the right products, skin can be peeled off in 7 days." It's true that no one deliberately lied, and the two sides are not the same thing at all. If you are talking about temporary superficial problems, such as sunburn, temporary acne, and yellowish gas after staying up for two or three nights, then improvement can be seen in three or four days, not to mention 28 days. After all, the epidermal metabolism cycle of healthy adults is only 28 days, and these small problems will disappear quickly as metabolism progresses. But if there are problems that have damaged the dermal layer, such as old acne pits, hormone dependence, and deep-seated chloasma, it really cannot be solved in one or two metabolic cycles. Just think about it, the skin barrier is like the exterior wall of your home. It is just stained with a little dust on the surface, and it will be clean after a few minutes of wiping. If the bricks inside are crispy, then you have to slowly dismantle the damaged parts and re-build them, and you have to allow enough drying time. How can it be completed in a few days?

Many people like to focus on "when will it be good" during treatment, looking in the mirror every day to look for flaws, which makes them prone to anxiety. When they are anxious, they try products randomly, which ruins their good-looking face again. I had a customer before who had already taken care of his sensitive skin. He bought it with the intention of giving it a try and applied it for two days because his sensitive skin was almost healed. He bought it and applied it for two days, but the red rash broke out all over his face. He had to use it for more than three months before returning to the previous state.

In fact, you really don’t have to worry about the specific time. You just need to pay more attention to small changes in skin care every day. For example, after washing your face, it used to be tense for a quarter of an hour, but now it softens in five minutes. Before, you would get three or four pimples after eating spicy food, but now your cheeks are just a little red after eating. These are all signs that things are getting better. Taking your time is much faster than rushing for quick results.
