How long does it take to restore normal skin color after treating skin problems

There is no unified standard answer at all. It can fade away in as fast as 2 weeks, and it may take a year or more to fade away. If you don’t use the right method, some stubborn pigmentation may stay with you for several years.

The two girls who came to my studio a while ago both had red and dull cheekbones from going to music festivals in the summer. They both have combination oily and acne-prone skin. The age difference is less than two years, and their recovery speed is ten times faster. One is to go home and apply ice to reduce redness on the same day after sun exposure. For the next three weeks, I wore a hat and mask even when I went downstairs to pick up express delivery. I applied the repairing essence every night and then layered a layer of mild VC derivatives. When I came back for a follow-up visit in less than 20 days, my face had returned to its previous uniform state, and even the red acne marks left by the previous acne had faded by half. Another girl had a big heart. She thought it was just a little red after sunburning and didn't take it seriously. Within two weeks, she went rafting with a friend. When she came back, she followed the trend and used high-concentration acid to whiten her skin quickly. She directly made the barrier sensitive and red. The brown discoloration on her two cheekbones has been sinking for almost 8 months now. She still has to do photorejuvenation every month to slowly fade away. Now she regrets that she didn't take care of it at that time.

Nowadays, the opinions on the Internet are quite polarized. Some people pat their chests and say that they will definitely get their mother's skin back in 28 days, while others are anxious and say that as long as the pigmentation lasts a lifetime, it will never go away. In fact, both of these are quite ridiculous. The former is a mechanical application of the 28-day cycle of skin epidermal metabolism, without considering the difference in the degree of damage and follow-up care. If you have a darker skin tone and go out every day at noon without applying sunscreen, let alone 28 days, 280 days may not be able to get back in vain; the latter is too exaggerated. As long as it does not damage the dermal layer, stubborn spots or age-related burns, most surface dullness can be slowly metabolized with proper care. The difference is nothing more than speed.

Speaking of it, this is actually very similar to stains on your clothes. Just rub the iced Coke on it with a wet paper towel and there will be no traces. If it has been left for two or three days and has dried into the fibers, you have to rub it with laundry detergent for a long time to remove it. If the stain has been left for more than half a year, you may have to soak it in bleach and send it to the dry cleaners many times to slowly remove it. The longer it is left and the deeper the stain is, the more effort it will take to deal with it.

I went to the beach last year and didn’t wear sunscreen on my neck. The back of my neck was tanned two degrees and I even got a rash. At that time, I didn’t dare to apply whitening products blindly, so I applied repairing lotion every day. I wore a turtleneck or a silk scarf when I went out. I didn’t even dare to use hot water on that area when I took a shower. It took about a month and a half to slowly match my complexion. If I had tried to use acid at that time, I don’t know how long the marks would have stayed.

If you really want to restore your skin tone to an even tone quickly, don't keep asking "how long will it take to get better?" Weld sunscreen on your face first, and don't mess with the already fragile barrier. It's much more reliable than hoarding a cabinet of whitening essences.
