The secret to good skin: these two skin care tips must be mastered by heart

We are born with good skin, which is like the tender white of a freshly cooked egg. But later, many sisters were exposed to the sun. Life stress, irregular work and rest schedules and other reasons can cause the skin to become dull and lifeless. As we age, the skin becomes increasingly dehydrated and dry. Some sisters used skin care products indiscriminately when they were young, causing their skin to become more and more sensitive. So, how do you develop good skin?

The secret to good skin

First of all, you can remember a motto: clean in moderation, moisturize or control oil, use a combination of sunscreens, long-term anti-oxidation, balance microorganisms, and see a doctor if you are sick.

You can also remember a motto: to maintain skin stability, avoid indiscriminate use. Daily sun protection and moderate cleansing. Try to control the temperature, humidity, and dryness. Surface flora, pay attention to balance.

Clean with moderation

The skin is a "living tissue". It produces oil, sweats (to regulate body temperature), produces vitamin D, blocks ultraviolet rays, defends against the invasion of harmful substances, coordinates with microorganisms on the surface of the skin, and mobilizes the body's internal immune system...

These functions are very complex and delicate, so "cleaning" the skin does not mean bleaching, disassembling and washing, or cutting it into pieces and then rinsing it clean - if you clean it roughly for a long time, many functions of the skin will be damaged, eventually causing skin inflammation and damage to health.

The recommended cleaning method is to clean the skin in a controlled manner under protection. Before cleansing, we recommend applying jojoba oil (with added vitamins C and E) to the skin and leaving it on for a few minutes before rinsing.

The advantage of doing this is that it uses the very special structure of jojoba oil (very similar to the sebum secreted by the skin itself) to form a protective film on the skin surface. At the same time, the good fluidity of jojoba oil can help loosen the "keratin plugs" in the pores that are originally difficult to flow out, and gradually wash them away through this lubrication.

After protection, you can choose your favorite cleaning products for cleaning, but we still recommend a gentle cleanser.

After cleansing, it is best not to leave a "astringent feeling" (dryness, tightness), but a slightly moisturizing feeling, which can be considered moderate cleansing.

Moisturizing or oil control

For dry skin (skin that still feels tight an hour after cleansing without applying any products), moisturize quickly after cleansing. Such products are relatively easy to find on the market, from the gentle and breathable Dabao SOD honey, to the repairing Qichu children's cream, to the rich and nourishing Fresh Sister Cream. You can choose according to your budget and needs.

Oily skin is more troublesome (if you don't apply any product after cleansing, you will feel oiliness within half an hour or even fifteen minutes), because there are not many products on the market that can effectively control oil, and they are often expensive.

According to our experience, SK-II's Fairy Water, Topix's Green Tea Antioxidant Essence and Neutrogena's Retinol Night Cream all have relatively good oil control capabilities (although they all claim to be anti-aging or whitening products). We can analyze the specific reasons in another article. Due to limited space, we will just give an explanation here.

Persistent moisturizing and oil control can reduce the possibility of low-intensity skin inflammation (subclinical inflammation). Not only can it make the skin appear translucent and radiant in the short term, but in the long term it can also avoid skin stress, reduce damage to collagen and elastin, and maintain a youthful state for a long time.
