How to hydrate your skin in winter? Analysis of several common misunderstandings about hydration in winter

Today I will introduce to you several common misunderstandings about hydration in winter. Friends who are still hydrating incorrectly, please take a look below to see if you have made any of these misunderstandings. Let’s take a look together.

How to hydrate your skin in winter

It is essential to make a hydrating mask every night; use more moisturizing lotion, body cream, etc.; the drier the weather, the more vegetarian you should eat if you want good skin; drinking more water is the fundamental issue. Let the body drink enough water to better hydrate the skin, which can help detoxify and hydrate the skin at the same time.

Several misunderstandings about water replenishment in winter

Hydration Mistake 1: Repeated use of moisturizing products

Many girls take out lotion or cream immediately when their faces become dry, but what about the skin care products left on your face? The original skin care product residue will prevent and affect the effect of subsequent application, and repeated application is likely to cause dirt residue to cause clogged pores and acne. Therefore, you should first soak the cotton pad with lotion and gently wipe it on your face, and then replenish water and moisturize, so that it will have sufficient hydrating effect.

Hydration misunderstanding 2: Drinking a lot of water

Many people either don't drink water or only drink a glass of water at a time. This is a very wrong behavior. The more water you drink, the more frequently you go to the toilet. Sometimes it may take away electrolytes and minerals in the body, affecting the skin's water-locking effect. Drink water frequently and in small sips, 2-3 sips each time, to ensure enough water intake evenly throughout the day. Drinking honey water can increase water storage capacity.

Hydration Misconception 3: Taking a Bath for a Long Time

Frequent bathing can easily damage the natural sebaceous glands on the surface of the skin, leading to accelerated oil loss and aggravating the problem of dry skin. It is best to take a shower in winter. Each bath should not exceed 15 minutes. If you take a bath in a tub, it is best to control the time within 20 minutes. It is best to apply moisturizing skin care products after taking a bath.

Hydration Mistake 4: Frequent Mask Application

Generally speaking, facial masks play more of a "first aid" role in hydrating the skin. We cannot rely too much on moisturizing masks, otherwise the skin will easily lose its protective ability and become sensitive and rough. It is best to apply the mask 2-3 times a week. 10-15 minutes each time.

Hydration Mistake 5: Frequent Exfoliation

Although exfoliation helps remove dirt from the epidermis and helps the skin regain its radiance, frequent exfoliation will make your stratum corneum thinner and thinner, eventually leading to a decrease in the skin's water storage function, making the skin vulnerable to damage from the external environment.

Our hydration is to replenish keratinocytes. If you remove all the keratinocytes, how can the cells absorb water and replenish themselves? In winter, you only need to exfoliate once every 3-4 weeks. In winter, you need the protection of the cuticle and there is no need to exfoliate frequently.
