Skin care tips Six skin care tips to make the skin absorb efficiently

Today I will introduce to you six skin care secrets to help your skin absorb better. Come and learn with me quickly.

Skin care tips

The key to whether the active ingredients can be effective is absorption. For example, whitening ingredients usually need to penetrate into the deepest basal layer, while anti-wrinkle ingredients need to penetrate into the deeper dermis to be absorbed.

However, these transdermal technologies are the work of R&D personnel. To enhance the absorption of active ingredients, we can start with skin care techniques. Follow me to master the following six tips to easily double the skin's absorption!

1. Let your skin drink enough water

When the skin absorbs a large amount of water and is fully hydrated, its barrier function decreases and effective ingredients can more easily penetrate through the stratum corneum cells. In order to avoid insufficient moisture in the skin and affect the absorption of cosmetic products, you can use toner first to allow the skin to absorb enough moisture.

Or, if you don't want to spend extra money to buy a bottle of water, you can also simplify it and make full use of the hydration of your skin when washing your face on a daily basis: start the skin care steps as soon as possible after washing your face, don't wait until your skin is dry before applying skin care products, and don't do skin care without washing your face.

2. Polishing the cuticle

An excessively thick stratum corneum not only causes rough skin and dull complexion, but also affects the absorption of cosmetic ingredients. If the absorption "distance" of the stratum corneum becomes shorter, the active ingredients will be able to enter the skin more easily and better exert their efficacy.

The main methods of exfoliation are physical scrub and chemical exfoliation. The physical polishing method is to use products such as facial cleansers or scrubs with abrasive particles. The chemical renewal method mainly uses products containing fruit acids to accelerate the renewal and shedding of the stratum corneum.

3. Leave the product on your skin for a while

The concentration of active ingredients directly affects the absorption effect. If the product does not stay on the skin for a sufficient amount of time, the absorption effect will be greatly weakened. For example, the essence itself has a very high concentration of active ingredients, and it can achieve the greatest effect if it is fully absorbed. However, if you proceed to the next skin care step, such as applying lotion, immediately after applying the essence, the two will mix and artificially dilute the product with a high concentration of active ingredients, which will greatly affect the absorption of the effective ingredients and thus affect the product effect.

In addition, after the product is applied to the skin, the moisture and certain special oils evaporate, which also increases the concentration of active ingredients and helps absorption. In order to allow enough time for moisture to evaporate and for the effective ingredients to be absorbed, the essence needs to stay on the skin for a while.
