Skin problems such as acne and sensitivity can be caused by a variety of factors, including improper cleaning or skin care, overuse of cosmetics, and premature anti-aging. Acne is a disease that affects the sebaceous gland hair follicles and presents in different forms of lesions. The causes of acne are diverse, including hormonal, digestive, and bacterial factors.
Sensitive skin occurs when the skin’s natural barrier is compromised, leading to increased water loss and easier penetration by external agents. Factors such as UV exposure, pollution, and harsh ingredients in cosmetics can worsen sensitive skin. It is important to take care of your skin properly by avoiding harsh products and leaving makeup remover on the skin.
Dr. Le Vi Anh from the Department of Dermatology – Skin Aesthetics at Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital advises against using too much acne medication or preemptively pursuing anti-aging treatments. Instead, she recommends tailoring skincare routines to different areas of the face and avoiding overusing products. Understanding and correcting skincare mistakes early can improve the health and appearance of the skin, helping maintain beautiful and radiant skin.
