Umxholo

• Uphengululo lwe

Emva kokubandezeleka ngenxa yokuqhawuka kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo, ndenza injongo yam ukucoca ulusu lwam kunye nenkqubo yokunyamekela ulusu ekholejini. Nangona kunjalo, okoko kwavela i-COVID-19, ulusu lwam beluyingxaki, ukutsho okuncinci.

Ndingaqinisekanga ngonobangela wako, ndakrokrela ukuba kungenxa yokunxiba imaski (hi, imaski) okanye ukonyuka koxinzelelo. Ndiyathetha, masinyaniseke, bonke ubomi bethu buye batshintshelwa ezantsi kwezi nyanga zidlulileyo. Xa ndiphuma ixesha lam, ukuphuma kuyabonakala kwicala lobuso bam. Inyani yokuba oku kugqabhuka kutsha kwakuvela esilevini sam, ezidleleni, nasebunzi yayiziimpawu kum zokuba yayingeyiyo iacne yam yesiqhelo yehomoni. Ngaphandle koko, ukugqabhuka bekukwayizits ezinkulu kakhulu kunento endiyifumanayo kwixesha lam. (Idibeneyo: Yintoni iCystic Acne, ngokuchanekileyo?)

Ngaphandle kokuphela kolu hlaselo lutsha (okanye ubhubhane, ngenxa yaloo nto), ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba lixesha lokuba nditshabalalise kwaye ndifumane unyango lwam olungcwele lwamabala amabala.

Makhe ndikunike imvelaphi encinci: I-acne yam ayizange ibe mbi ngokwaneleyo kangangokuba ndandifuna ukufumana iyeza kwi-dermatologist (🙏🙏🙏), kodwa kwakungemnandanga ngokwaneleyo ukuba ndifuna ukuyisusa (ndithetha, akukho mntu. uyonwabela ukufumana amaqhakuva). Ngaphambili, ndiye ndazama olunye unyango lwamabala nge-benzoyl peroxide (enye yezona zinto zicetyiswayo ngederm kunye nezithako ezisebenzayo kwi-acne). Ngelixa bezisebenza ngempumelelo ekususeni uqhekeko, iziphumo ebezingalindelekanga-ezinje ngesikhumba esomileyo, ukutsha, kunye nobomvu-bezingakulungelanga oko. Kum, iziphumo ebezingalindelekanga zodlula kakhulu izinto ezilungileyo zokukhupha iqhakuva okanye ezimbini. I-Benzoyl peroxide yomelele ngakumbi kunonyango ebendilufuna; Ndifuna enye esebenzayo kodwa yayinobulali ngakumbi (kwaye ayizukungcolisa iipillowases zam kunye neetawuli, ngalo nto).

Ndifune iingcebiso kubahlobo, usapho, kunye noogxa kwishishini lobuhle lonyango lwe-salicylic acid evela kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zeempawu. (Ukuba i-benzoyl peroxide yi-MVP ye-acne, i-salicylic acid yindoda yasekunene.) Abantu bafunge nge-Mario Badescu's Drying Lotion (Thenga yona, $ 17, ulta.com) (eza nenkolo efana nale ilandelayo), Ukhetho luka Paula I-BHA 9 Unyango (Yithenge, i-$ 43, i-dermstore.com), i-Coca kwaye icace i-Advantage Spot Treatment (Yithenge, i-$ 6, amazon.com), kunye ne-Origins Super Spot Remover (Yithenge, i-$ 19, i-ulta.com). Ngelixa zonke ezi mveliso zazikhuthazwa kakhulu ngabantu endibaziyo, andizange ndizifumane zisebenza. Eyona nto ebebonakala ukuba bayayenza kukuyenza mandundu amazitsi nobuso bam, beyenza ibembi ngakumbi kunoba bendinolushiya lodwa ulusu lwam. Andizange ndiyiqonde eyona nto yayithethwa yile hype—ngaba yayindim okanye ngaba ezi mveliso zazingasebenzi?

Ekugqibeleni, kwafika i-EradiKate Acne Treatment kaKate Somerville (Yithenge, $ 26, katesomerville.com). Ngaphambili bendikhe ndathenga, ndazama, ndazithanda ezinye iimveliso zeKate Somerville (bona: "ubuso bemizuzu emi-2" obungakholelekiyo), ndiye ndabona ukuba ndizakuzama oku. Yeyiphi eyona nto imbi inokwenzeka? Ndandingazi, le mveliso yayiza kutshintsha ubomi.

I-brand ithembisa ukuba i-EradiKate iya kuphelisa ngokufanelekileyo i-zits, inciphise ububomvu, kwaye ithintele ukuqhambuka kwexesha elizayo. Yenziwe nge-10% yesalfure, kunye ne-beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), kunye ne-zinc oxide. Ngokudibeneyo ezi zithako ezisebenzayo zonke ziyancomana ngokusebenza kunye ukulwa ne-acne yangoku kunye nokuthintela i-acne yexesha elizayo.

Izithako zihlole: I-Sulfur isetyenziselwa ukuphelisa i-acne kunye nokukhusela ulusu kwi-acne entsha ngokuthintela ukukhula kwebhaktheriya i-Propionibacterium, eyona nto ibangela ukuba i-acne ibonakale. Le mveliso inelona nani liphezulu lesalfure elivunyelweyo kulawulo lwamabala amabala kuLawulo lokutya kunye noLawulo lweziyobisi. Njengemichiza exfoliant, ii-BHAs zinciphisa kwaye zingavali pores kwaye zisebenze njenge-anti-inflammatory kulusu. Ngokugcina ii-pores zakho zicacile ukungcola kunye nokugqitha kwe-sebaceous filaments (iiplagi zeoyile ze-oyile kulusu lwakho), unethuba elingcono lokugcina ukuphuma kwakho kubuncinci. Okokugqibela, i-zinc oxide iyiminerali yendalo ebonelela ngolawulo lweoyile ngokunciphisa imveliso ye-sebum (i-oily, i-waxy substance eveliswa lusu lwakho). Imveliso encinci ye-sebum ilingana nokudumba okuncinci, okunceda ukukhawulezisa inkqubo yokunyanga amabala.

Ukusebenzisa, udibanise i-cotton swab kwibhotile uze usebenzise i-dab encinci kwi-zit ekhulayo okanye ekhoyo ebusweni bakho. (Ingcebiso yePro: Musa ukugubha ibhotile kuqala!) Ukufumana iziphumo ezilungileyo, sebenzisa ebusuku emva kokucoca. Oku kuvumela imveliso ukuba isebenze umlingo wayo ngelixa ulele. I-EradiKate yoma epinki kwaye ayityebanga kakhulu kulusu lwakho. Ngentsasa, vele uhlambe imveliso eseleyo ngesicoci okanye amanzi akho.

Ukuqala kwam ukusebenzisa i-EradiKate, ndabona i-zit enkulu icutheka ngesiqingatha sobusuku. Ndacinga ukuba oku kuhle kakhulu ukuba yinyaniso ngoko ndazama kwakhona kwi-zit entsha kwiintsuku ezimbalwa kamva. Kwenzeka into efanayo. I-zit yam ayizange iphele ngobukhulu kodwa ububomvu buncitshiswe kakhulu. Ngaphandle kwayo nayiphi na imveliso, ihlala ithatha i-zits zam malunga neveki ukuba ihambe yodwa. U-EradiKate wayeyinqumle inkqubo yokuphilisa malunga neentsuku ezintlanu ukusukela oko yanyamalala i-zit emva nje kweentsuku ezimbini.

Nangona i-Drying Lotion ka-Mario Badescu ifana kakhulu ne-EradiKate ngokumalunga nombala kunye nokuhambelana (zombini iingqayi ezincinci ezine-pink sediment ezantsi kunye ne-alcohol ecacileyo yotywala phezulu), amacandelo afana kakhulu-zombini ziqulethe isulfure. , i-zinc oxide, kunye ne-salicylic acid-kodwa iziphumo zahluke kakhulu kum. Ngelixa uMario Badescu weza enconywa kakhulu ngabantu abaninzi endibaziyo, mna khange ndibone iziphumo kuyo. Ndifumanise ukuba ayisebenzi ekususeni ii-zits zam. (Nangona kungacacanga ukuba yeyiphi na ipesenti yesalfure kwilosisi eyomileyo kaMario Badescu, inyani yokuba i-EradiKate inepesenti ye-10 ephumayo inokuba sesona sizathu sokuba.)

Ndiqale ukusebenzisa i-EradiKate kaKate Somerville malunga neenyanga ezimbini ezidlulileyo kwaye, ngokungafihlisiyo, ndisabambekile. (Buza nje bonke abantu endikhe ndancokola nabo ngako kwezi veki zimbalwa zidlulileyo.) Nangona ndingenakuthembisa ukuba wonke umntu uya kuba nemiphumo efana nendaye ndayifumana, ndiyayazi indlela ebendichukumiseke ngayo—kwaye ndicinga ukuba iifoto ziyazithetha.
