9 tips for hydrating and moisturizing your skin

3. Oil control + moisturizing to maintain healthy neutral skin

Many people with oily skin often focus too much on removing and controlling oil, but neglect moisturizing. Especially for those with acne-prone skin, focusing only on treating acne and being afraid of using too many "moisturizing" skin care products that may lead to acne growth is actually a wrong concept. The skin surface has a layer of sebum film that can safely lock in the moisture and nutrients needed by the underlying cells. However, if the sebum membrane is damaged by excessive cleansing, a large amount of moisture and nutrients will be lost, causing the decline of healthy cells and making acne more serious. Please remember that oil-control and acne-treatment products can still be used topically, but the entire face must still be applied with skin care products containing moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid to maintain an oil-water balance. If the texture of an overly moisturizing lotion makes you feel uncomfortable, for basic skin care, you can just use an essence with highly effective moisturizing ingredients to help replenish and lock in moisture.

5. Sunscreen first to lay a good foundation for supple skin

Moisturizing and sun protection are things that women should never slack off on in the process of striving for beauty! After the age of 25, skin condition begins to deteriorate, the sebum membrane that protects the skin on the outermost layer gradually collapses, and skin cells are under attack from both inside and outside, with ultraviolet rays invading from the outside and the hidden danger of massive water loss from the inside. When cells are in an unstable period, if the continuous damage to cells by ultraviolet rays can be reduced, healthy cells will maintain normal operation and dry skin will improve. Therefore, taking into account both sun protection and moisturizing becomes the primary goal of skin care for women in their 30s. Sun protection is necessary all year round. If you sit in the office for a long time, you can choose a sunscreen with an SPF of SPF30. If you are a worker who is often on the road, you need to choose a product with a high SPF of SPF50. Both products should be reapplied at any time to completely block the damage of ultraviolet rays.
