To address acne, it is important to first keep the skin clean by choosing a facial cleanser suitable for oily or combination skin, avoiding excessive cleansing that may disrupt the skin's oil-water balance. Maintain healthy eating habits by reducing intake of high-sugar, high-fat, and spicy foods, and consuming more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins and fiber to promote the body's detoxification. Ensure adequate sleep and avoid staying up late, as sleep deprivation can increase sebaceous gland secretion and worsen acne. In addition, moderate exercise to promote metabolism can also help improve skin condition. If acne is severe, do not squeeze the pimples arbitrarily, as this may cause inflammation or leave scars. Instead, consult a professional dermatologist who can recommend appropriate acne treatments or prescribe professional therapies based on your skin type.
