Info topic of the day: maskne, or acne caused by frequent mask wearing 😷 This is often due to acne mechanica, which is caused by friction against the skin and a build-up of oil and bacteria resulting in clogged pores and inflammation. Best practices to avoid maskne include: - changing masks daily - sticking to a basic skincare routine: use a gentle cleanser and avoid occlusive creams as well as irritating peels - wearing minimal make-up - using a cotton pad with toner or micellar water as a facial wipe after strenuous activity - benozoyl peroxide application to easily affected areas (nose, chin) as a preventive measure Cheers to better skin, and take care of yourselves and your loved ones! 💪🏼😊 #maskne #acnetreatmenthk #iplhk #everkeenhk #drlisachan #acne #acnevulgaris #folliculitis #ipl #intensepulsedlight #陳筠華 #陳筠華醫生 #oilpainting #painting #cosmeticdermatology #skincare #skincareroutine #medicalaesthetics #aestheticmedicine #maskinducedacne #maskwearing #covid_19 #covid #everkeen #drlc #drlchk

Follow @girlstyle.presslogic 每次M到下巴就爆瘡？⠀ .⠀ 臉上出現粉刺或暗瘡 (acne) 十分令人困擾，而其實不同部位出現的暗瘡成因都不一樣，根據外國媒體《Medical News Today》"What to know about acne face maps"一文，指出當毛孔被死皮細胞和油脂阻塞時，就會發展成暗瘡，並會出現白頭或黑頭。下面就讓我們了解在不同部分出現的暗瘡的成因： .⠀ 1 - 髮際線和太陽穴 (Hairline and temples)在髮線和額頭附近出現的暗瘡，有可能因為使用了某種頭髮護理產品所引起。 . 假如是因頭髮護理產品所引起的暗瘡就是髮油暗瘡 (pomade acne)，不同護質的男性和女性都會受影響。當油性或蠟狀的頭髮護理產品接觸到臉部附近的皮膚，毛孔會被阻塞，導致暗瘡爆發。⠀ .⠀ 而在美妝或個人護理產品中的某些成分，尤其是撫平頭髮的產品，有可能會引致生暗瘡⠀ .⠀ 你可使用更簡單的配方，或避免選用有這些成分的護髮產品，可能有助預防在髮際線附近和太陽穴生暗瘡。⠀ .⠀ 2 - T字部位：額頭、鼻和下巴 皮脂腺產生皮脂，這種油性物質可滋潤和保護皮膚，但若果皮脂分泌過多，就可能會導致生暗瘡。過多的油分分泌，可能代表在這個區域生暗瘡的機會更高。 .⠀ 在一項包括914名暗瘡患者的研究中，研究人員發現皮脂分泌和T字部分暗瘡的數量有關。生暗瘡的年青人一般在U字部位周圍有更多暗瘡，覆蓋臉頰和下巴，而不是在T字部位。⠀ .⠀ 3 - 臉頰⠀ 由於摩擦皮膚可引起機械性暗瘡 (acne mechanica)，並導致臉頰出現暗瘡。舉例來說，當一個人將手機靠在臉上、在睡夢中靠著枕頭移動、或帶著有下巴帶的頭盔等，就可能會發生這種情況。不過機械性暗瘡不只會在臉頰上出現，在身體不同部位都有機會出現。⠀ .⠀ 4 - 下頜 (Jawline)科學家傾向將出現在頜骨周圍的暗瘡，和荷爾蒙的浮動連結，不過這個說法也遭受到其他研究人員的攻擊和反駁。直到現時為止，暫時未有證據證明頜骨位置和下巴周圍生暗瘡，是否就代表荷爾蒙失調。 . 研究發現，39至85％的生暗瘡的女性在月經前，暗瘡情況會惡化。可是，由於很多暗瘡患者都沒有荷爾蒙異常的情況，因此有可能是油腺對荷爾蒙的敏感性增加而導致。⠀ .⠀ 治療方式 細菌，發炎和多餘的油脂都可引致暗瘡，你可選擇一系列的治療方式，包括在藥房購買局部治療的藥物，又或尋找含有以下成分的藥物，針對治療暗瘡，包括：⠀ 過氣化苯甲醯 (Benzoyl peroxide): 通過對抗痤瘡丙酸桿菌 (Propionibacterium acnes bacteria)治療暗瘡⠀ 外用視黃醇 (Topical retinoids): 可以減少面部多餘油脂，有助疏通毛巴⠀ . 水楊酸 (Salicylic acid): 主要用於疏通毛孔⠀ 至於發炎的暗瘡 (inflammatory acne)，尤其是一些嚴重的個案，醫生有可能會處方抗生素對付細菌，減少發炎。⠀ .⠀ 而一般可以是以口服或外用的抗生素。口服維他命A酸 (Isotretinoin) 或是異維A酸 (Accutane) 都可作治療，而一般需要4至5個月，不過所需時間因人而異。不過口服維他命A酸可能有嚴重的副作用，患者在開始治療前應和醫生討論，並在醫生的監督下服用藥物。⠀ .⠀ 此外，醫生有可能會建議你服用複方口服避孕藥來治療暗瘡。專家認為，避孕藥可能通過減少可能通過皮脂分泌產生暗瘡的激素，以發揮效用。而在使用6個月後，複方口服避孕藥可能和口服抗生素一樣有效，而其他只含孕酮的避孕藥可能會使暗瘡惡化。⠀ .⠀ 預防 你可以每日輕輕地洗臉1至2次，以及在運動出汗後，用溫和的洗臉乳和溫水洗臉。你要避免頻繁接觸臉部，由於經常擦拭皮膚也可能導致暗瘡，因此你一定要睡在乾淨的床單和枕頭套上。⠀ .⠀ 在使用油性或蠟狀頭髮護理產品後，要保持頭髮遠離面部，這或能減少髮際線附近的暗瘡。另一方面，保持健康生活方式、做充足運動和吸收良好的營養等，都可有助預防暗瘡的生長。進食低升糖指數的食物都可能有助對抗暗瘡。⠀ ⠀ .⠀ #女生扮靚靚⠀ .⠀ FB: PressLogic-GirlStyle女生日常⠀⠀ 『 💌如果妳都有打卡靚相／情侶甜蜜照想同讀者分享 📷即刻 #presslogicgirlstyle 或tag我哋或inbox比小編！ 我哋會係女生日常嘅IG同大家分享💕 』⠀ .⠀ #hkig #hkgirls #beauty #lyrics #hkiger #love#sisters #lovemygirls #hklife #hkboy#hkgirl #hkboys #hkgirls #852 #hkcouples#hkstore #hkonlineshop #hklover#mygirls

By now, most of us know the importance of washing our face after a sweat sesh. But it turns out it’s actually more important to cleanse before. Especially, if you head to the gym at the end of the day or after work. At that point of the day, you have dirt, oil, bacteria, pollution, skin care products/SPF and makeup (if you wear it) already on your skin. Then, when you combine all of that with sweat it significantly enhances the risk and production of clogged pores and acne. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Plus, there is a phenomenon called "acne mechanica” which is acne caused by heat and/or rubbing on the skin. It can develop anywhere on your face or body and common causes are the friction from wiping your face with a gym towel, back acne from your sports bra or where athletic equipment sits on the skin like a chin straps from a helmet. So what to do to prevent this? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ P R E - W O R KO U T • Wash your face - sorry, wipes don’t count unless you are doing a proper cleanse directly after. • Only apply a light moisturizer or SPF if you are working out outside. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ D U R I N G • No touchy - bring a clean towel to blot the sweat off your face and try to avoid touching your face with dirty hands. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ W E L L N E S S  T I P : Skip antiperspirant deodorant while working out - it plugs your sweat glands. Let your body do it’s natural thing and excrete junk from our body. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ P O S T - W O R KO U T • Hit the showers - cleanse your face and get out of those tight fitting sweaty clothes ASAP. • Hydrate - sweating dehydrates the skin and if your body is dehydrated you have a higher salt content in your sweat which can actually irritate skin. So drink up and don’t skip moisturizer post workout. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ B O N U S  T I P : Clean your ear buds with rubbing alcohol to prevent blackheads or zits in your ears. It happens! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Reposted from & credited to @babeandbeauty⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #babeandbeauty #esthetician #estheticianblogger #aesthetician #skin #skincare #workingout #acne #workoutacne #skintips - #regrann
