It is not only oily skin that develops closed comedones and pimples. Although oily skin is more prone to pore blockage due to excessive sebum production, thereby leading to closed comedones and pimples, other skin types such as combination, sensitive, and acne-prone skin can also develop these issues under certain conditions. Additionally,不良生活习惯,饮食习惯,环境因素等也是导致闭口和粉刺的重要因素 (unhealthy lifestyle habits, dietary habits, and environmental factors also significantly contribute to the development of closed comedones and pimples). Therefore, maintaining skin cleanliness, eating a balanced diet, following a regular作息 routine, and avoiding excessive squeezing of the skin are all crucial for preventing and treating closed comedones and pimples.
