How long does it take for skin problems to get better

There is really no unified standard answer. In the cases I have come across, it can be completely stabilized in 10 days and half a month, and it can even take a year to fully return to a healthy state.

A while ago, I helped my best friend to change her seasonal sensitivity. After she suddenly cooled down, her face always turned red and stinging after washing, and it felt as rough as sandpaper. I asked her to stop using all the whitening and anti-aging essences on her hands, and even replaced her facial cleanser with an amino acid one. She only applied ceramide cream and wore a mask and hat to protect herself from the sun every day. After 12 days, she returned to her previous smooth state, and even the redness was mostly reduced. But last year, she had superficial acne marks caused by high-concentration salicylic acid. She had three fractional laser treatments and applied strict sunscreen and repair products. It took her half a year to barely notice them.

There are quite two opinions on this matter on the Internet. Some people claim that the skin metabolism cycle is 28 days, and all problems can be cured. Others claim that as long as you use the right strong medicine, all problems can be solved by skin rejuvenation in a week. Both of these opinions are actually quite unrealistic. 28 days is originally the epidermal metabolism cycle of healthy skin around the age of 18-25. If you are already 30+, or your barrier has been completely damaged, or you even have problems such as hormone-dependent dermatitis, the metabolism rate is much slower than that of healthy skin. How can you still be stuck at the 28-day time point for recovery? I have been in contact with a sister who has a hormone-prone face. She had a rebound reaction in the first two weeks after following the doctor's advice. The redness and burning were worse than before. If she had believed in the 28-day package gimmick and gave up on changing products halfway, she would probably still have recurring allergies.

Of course, not all problems need to be treated for a long time. If you just stayed up late at night and got a few pimples, or you have a few pimples after eating a spicy hot pot, as long as you don't squeeze them randomly and apply a mild acne spotting gel, they will disappear in three or four days without even leaving any marks. There is no need to go through a lot of complicated treatment procedures.

To be honest, many people feel that skin conditioning is slow. Part of it is that the problem itself has been delayed for too long and has become stubborn. The other part is really caused by themselves - they are obviously adjusting the barrier. Today I saw a whitening serum review and couldn't help but try it on my face. I saw a tutorial on acid peeling tomorrow and tried it again. The skin was supposed to be healed in three months, but it took more than half a year and it is still red and sensitive. I really can't complain that the conditioning is useless. If you really want to get better quickly, you should first find a professional to figure out where your problem lies, and just follow the plan and don't mess around. It is much more useful than looking in the mirror every day and worrying about "when will you get better?"
