La Mer's legendary cream series can repair dry and damaged skin in a short period of time. A variety of textures are suitable for different skin types, softening the signs of aging and revealing a youthful glow. But why does La Mer cream turn into mud?

Why does La Mer cream rub into mud?

It may be that the stratum corneum on your face is too thick, and you applied the facial cream directly without exfoliating; or this La Mer facial cream is not suitable for your skin type; or the order of use is incorrect, and you should not apply the facial cream before the toner is completely absorbed, otherwise it will easily cause rubbing into the skin.

Several reasons for rubbing face cream into mud

1. No exfoliation

When using skin care products, if you use facial cream directly without exfoliating, it is easy to rub off the skin because the stratum corneum is equivalent to a layer of aging skin covering our face, so it is easy to rub it off if you rub it hard. Therefore, it is very important to use some exfoliating products regularly. It is recommended to exfoliate once a week. It is not necessary to do it too frequently, otherwise it will cause the stratum corneum to be too thin and reduce the skin's resistance. To exfoliate, you can directly use a cotton pad to dip an appropriate amount of cleansing liquid and gently wipe your face, especially the T-zone, forehead and chin which are prone to oiliness. After use, you will find that your skin becomes very smooth and delicate, and it will not rub off when you use facial cream.

2. Using inappropriate skin care products

If you have the habit of exfoliating frequently, you should consider whether it is caused by the inappropriate skin care products you use. You can try changing to some more refreshing and moisturizing creams, because sometimes if the skin care products are too sticky, it is easy to rub into mud. Especially for girls with oily skin, it is not suitable to use overly greasy creams, and you should choose some moisturizing ones.

3. Improper use order of skin care products

Improper use of skin care products can also lead to rubbing. The normal order of using our skin care products is to clean the skin with makeup remover or makeup remover water first. Whether you are wearing makeup or not, you should "remove makeup" first, because this can better remove the dirt in the pores and the excess oil remaining on the face. Then use facial cleanser to clean the skin. Only thorough cleansing can keep the skin clean and refreshed, and better absorb moisture and nutrients from other skin care products. Next is toner. Toner can be poured onto cotton pads and used. It not only saves usage but also does not cause pollution. It can also serve as a good secondary cleansing agent for the skin. Next comes the essence, lotion or cream. Remember not to apply facial cream before the toner is completely absorbed, otherwise it will easily become muddy. When using skin care products, we all follow the rule of "small molecules first, then large molecules", so as to avoid the skin not absorbing and causing the product to become rubbed into mud.

Tips for applying facial cream

Only by mastering the correct technique of applying facial cream can you better avoid the phenomenon of rubbing into mud. First, after applying the facial cream on the face, you should draw circles from the inside to the outside to cover the entire face. Then use the fingertips of both hands to gently press, pat, and massage to promote absorption. However, be careful to be gentle, otherwise you may hurt yourself. The last step is the care action to lift the facial contour. Gently pat the upper part of the cheek with the palm of your hand, then fix the palm of your hand on the cheekbones on both sides, and then use the fingers of both hands to gently push and rub the facial skin from the outside to the inside from the upper lips on both sides. Repeat several times to achieve a good effect of lifting the face.
