How to take care of your skin correctly? The correct skin care steps are crucial

Many people say that they have used so many skin care products but have not achieved any skin care effects. In fact, your skin care steps are wrong. Then let’s look at the correct skin care steps with me below.

How to take care of your skin correctly

Generally speaking, the correct skin care steps are as follows: (makeup removal) - cleansing - toner - essence - lotion - eye cream - face cream - (sunscreen) Makeup removal is one of the important steps in skin care. If the makeup is not removed cleanly, it will easily clog the pores, breed blackheads, acne and a series of skin problems. Therefore, once the makeup is not removed cleanly, all subsequent skin care will be in vain. The correct makeup removal steps are particularly important.

Correct steps for removing makeup

Eye makeup - eyebrow makeup - lip makeup - base makeup

It should be noted here that when removing eye makeup and lip makeup, it is best to use special eye and lip makeup remover products, so that the makeup removal effect will be more thorough.

Cleansing

Cleansing is the first step in skin care in the morning. It is best to use warm water to wash your face, because it is easier to clean the dirt on your face. Finally, rinse it with cold water, which is more conducive to shrinking pores.

After cleansing your face, press it dry with a wet towel. Never air dry it, as this will make your skin dry more easily!

Next, you should start using skin care products, which is what we usually call lotion. The function of lotion is to cleanse again to restore the acid-base value of the skin surface. Toners mainly include toner, softener, astringent, moisturizing water and so on.

How should we choose lotion?

The editor recommends: use astringent for oily skin, use toner for healthy skin, use softener for dry skin, use astringent for the T zone of mixed skin, and use sensitive water or repair water for sensitive skin.

Essence

Essence can promote the absorption of subsequent skin care products, replenish the skin with sufficient moisture, and some also have the function of brightening the skin tone, so it must not be missing in the skin care steps!

Usage steps: first take an appropriate amount of essence on the palm of your hand, follow the direction of facial lymphatic drainage, from the central axis of the nose to both sides, divide the entire face into three areas: forehead, cheeks and chin, apply the entire face, and finally gently pat with your hands until fully absorbed.

Lotion

Lotion is also a skin care product commonly used in skin care steps. Its main function is to form a thin and breathable protective film on the skin surface to prevent moisture loss.

Usage steps: When applying the lotion, start from the cheeks, to the corners of the mouth, upper and lower jaws, etc., and then apply it to the entire face to give dry areas double moisturization. Apply gently from the center of the face outwards.

Eye Cream

Eye cream is the step that many girls tend to overlook during their skin care routine. Some people also think that eye cream is only for older women, but this is not the case. The skin around the eyes is more fragile and ages faster, so we need to use eye cream as early as possible. Girls around 20 years old can start using eye cream~

The needs for eye cream for each age group are different, so we need to choose according to our own needs!

cream

Facial cream is the last step in our skin care process. The difference between facial cream and lotion lies in the amount of water content. The water content of lotion is slightly higher than that of facial cream. However, both of them have the function of hydrating and moisturizing, but facial cream is thicker.

Sun protection

After completing the above skin care steps, the next step is sun protection! Sunscreen is not just for summer, it should be applied all year round.

Generally speaking, we should apply sunscreen 15 to 30 minutes before going out. If we want to better protect our skin, we need to reapply sunscreen about every 2 hours when we go out.
