Common skin care misunderstandings Five common skin care misunderstandings and solutions

In the process of skin care and learning about skin care knowledge, people may ignore the differences in skin types and believe in many "little Amway" and "little folk remedies". This will not only fail to achieve the desired skin care effects, but may also damage the skin. Today, I’d like to share with you five common skin care misunderstandings and solutions.

Myth 1: Applying a facial mask for a long time can replenish water

The editor's friends like to apply facial mask for a longer time every time, thinking that it can relieve dry skin and provide more moisturizing and hydration.

But in fact, applying a facial mask can quickly and efficiently moisturize and hydrate the skin, but in general, the effective nutrients in the mask have been absorbed by the skin within 10-15 minutes, and the moisture content is reduced. If you continue to apply it on the face for a long time, it will absorb the moisture in the skin and cause the skin to become dehydrated and dry.

Myth 2: Acne-prone skin needs a strong hydrating mask

Many girls with acne-prone skin use a strong hydrating mask on their face every time they get acne, thinking that this will reduce oil production and replenish moisture. But in fact, acne-prone skin is not suitable for using paper-based hydrating masks with high essence content due to its active oil secretion. The high nutritional value provides nutrition to the bacteria, causing acne to spread and grow. Acne-prone skin should use mineral clay, mud masks, moisturizing masks and sulfur-based therapeutic masks.

Myth 3: You can’t use anything on sensitive skin

Some time ago, I heard with my own ears a friend with sensitive skin being told that the skin is too fragile during the sensitive period, and it is best not to use any skin care products and let the skin repair itself.

But in fact, the main problem of sensitive skin is that the skin is too dry and allergic to the environment. The skin temperature is easily increased, which doubles the loss of water. Sensitive skin generally has the problem of too thin cuticle and has poor ability to lock in moisture and nutrients.

Usually you should pay attention to: 1. Reduce the burden on the skin; 2. Improve the skin's ability to protect against the outside world; 3. Lower the temperature of the skin and reduce water loss.
