Steps for applying skin care products Correct use and precautions of skin care products

After the age of 25, the body's metabolic cycle lengthens and metabolic capacity decreases, especially for women, whose aging rate begins to accelerate. The most obvious manifestation is the emergence of skin problems. How to better care for the skin needs the attention of beauty-loving female friends.

Methods/Steps

Cleansing: First use cleansing oil/water to remove hard-to-remove impurities left over from daytime makeup; then use cleansing milk to wash the skin to remove dirt.

Exfoliation: Because the normal metabolism cycle of the human body is 28 days, with the increase of age, the metabolism time gradually prolongs, and the dead skin in the skin's stratum corneum cannot fall off normally, which will block the pores and cause a series of skin problems. Therefore, exfoliation is a necessary step. However, it is important to note that: (1) Exfoliating cream can be used only once a month. Using it too frequently may damage the skin. (2) The quality and price of exfoliating creams on the market vary greatly. We strongly recommend that you do not save money. After all, if you only use it once a month, an exfoliating product that is too cheap will not achieve the purpose of exfoliation.

Balance: Water is a must. Choose softener for dry skin and toner for oily skin. But what many people don’t know is that the water used here is to neutralize the acidity and alkalinity of the skin, so that the skin can better absorb the nutrients in the subsequent skin care products.

Hydration: Because the water molecules in the toner/softener in the previous step cannot actually enter the skin cells, the hydration effect cannot be achieved at all. The hydrating products recommended here are: essence, essential oil, or stock solution, among which the hydrating and absorption effects increase in sequence.

Efficacy realization: For functional products used for specific problems such as dullness, dark spots, acne, red blood streaks, etc. caused by lifestyle habits, environment, climate, physical condition, etc., essential oils or original solutions are still recommended here, but essential oils cannot be used independently because single essential oils must be compounded before they can be applied to the skin. The effect after compounding will be discounted to a certain extent. Therefore, I personally recommend the more direct and single original solution extracted from natural plants. For example: Licorice controls oil and inhibits melanin, removes spots and whitens the skin; lavender controls oil, removes acne and lightens scars; chamomile can fight allergies; and sea buckthorn has a significant effect on red blood streaks. For this, friends need to follow the advice of doctors or beauticians to make a choice based on their own situation. If there are no special skin problems, you can choose repair care products at this step. Friends with good skin and who don't like trouble can skip it.

Moisturizing: You can use moisturizing lotion/cream here. Its main function is to lock in the moisture that has been replenished before and prevent it from being lost.

Isolation/sunscreen: You can choose isolation products for this step, and use sunscreen products instead in summer. Their main function is to isolate pollutants in the air and ultraviolet radiation.

Applying powder: The main purpose of this step is to cover blemishes, so friends can do it according to their own needs.

Precautions

Hydration and moisturizing are two different concepts. Hydration is to fill the skin cells with water, while moisturizing is to prevent the loss of existing moisture in the skin.

Lotion and cream cannot be used at the same time. Lotion is essentially the same as cream, but it has fewer nutrients than cream. Usually, the effect time of lotion on the skin is 2 to 3 hours, while that of cream is 6 to 8 hours. In summer, we sweat a lot and wash our faces and put on makeup frequently, so lotion will not be wasted. It is recommended to use lotion in summer and cream in spring, autumn and winter. The overlapping use of lotion and cream will isolate the nutrients of the cream from the lotion, preventing the skin from absorbing nutrients better.

BB cream is a combination of isolation and powder products. If you want to keep things simple, you can use one step instead of steps 7 and 8.
