The dermatologist explained the rules of care for acne, rosacea and oily skin

Alexandra Soldatova, a cosmetologist, pediatric dermatologist, and a leading specialist in the Semeynaya clinic network, spoke about the rules of skin care for acne, rosacea, and increased fat content. The specialist explained which remedies and procedures help control inflammation, maintain skin balance and protect the face in the summer. All the details are in the Izvestia article.

Methods of combating rashes

There are specific recommendations for each type of "problematic" skin. In case of "acne" with subcutaneous inflammation, Soldatova advises using external remedies with an antibacterial component, for example, a gel with clindamycin. If the rash is accompanied by complaints about the gastrointestinal tract, it is necessary to consult a gastroenterologist.

When small pustules appear, the specialist recommends wiping your face with bottled water mixed with salicylic or camphor alcohol in a ratio of 9 to 1. To combat comedones, azelaic acid products can be added to night care. If there is no effect from self-care within 30 days, you should definitely consult a doctor.

Phototherapy and retinoids

Sensitive skin and rosacea require professional treatment. Soldatova notes that it is better to start preparing for the hot season in autumn. Phototherapy in the autumn-winter period helps to reduce vascular manifestations, reduce sebum production and prevent facial swelling.

Excessive fat content may be associated with endocrinological pathologies, for example, increased testosterone or hyperthyroidism. External retinoids or peeling courses are used to prevent this condition in the cold season.

Skin protection in summer

In summer, the dermatologist advises using mattifying creams and wipes. Fluids or care products with SPF 30 are suitable for protection from the sun in urban conditions. If you plan to stay in the sun for a long time or work at the window, you should choose products with a protection factor of 50.

Intoxication, burns, lost time, and exacerbation of ailments are the main disadvantages of self—medication.

For combination skin, when oily areas are combined with dry areas, Soldatova recommends using specialized gels and foams for washing. If the skin is over-dried and the products cause a burning sensation, it is worth starting with rulers for sensitive skin, but if discomfort persists, you need to consult a specialist.

Help with hyperhidrosis

In cases of increased perspiration of the facial skin, botulinum toxin injections are recognized as an effective method. The procedure is carried out zonally in a strong dilution, which allows you to act exclusively on the sweat glands.

The specialist emphasizes that such injections will not affect the facial muscles and will not cause complications. In addition to injection therapy, for hyperhidrosis, you can try the same daily care methods as for oily skin.
