How to take care of your skin properly How to take care of your skin properly

Do you know the dosage, techniques, and correct order of skin care products? I heard that many people are still in a confused state. To be honest, for a long time I myself didn’t know how to care for my skin. Now let’s take a look at how to use skin care products correctly.

Dosage cannot be saved

Whether it is makeup remover oil, cream, lotion, dew or ointment, you should not skimp on the amount. This is the only rule in the entire skin care process: "the more the better" (of course, it cannot be excessive, a little waste is allowed, but it cannot be wasted to the point of being outrageous).

Because if the amount of makeup remover is too little, it will not be able to clean thoroughly, resulting in residual dirt, and it will increase friction (especially for dry hands and face), causing endless burden on the skin.

Facial cleansing products

Foaming cleansing products, whether they are pastes, emulsions, lotions, soaps, etc., must be fully foamed on the palms of your hands or on a foaming net before applying to the face.

Don't think that non-foaming products have strong cleaning power. In fact, not only can they not remove the dirt in the pores, but they also have great impact. Whether it is a foam cleanser or a non-foam cleanser, first apply the foam or cleanser to the forehead, nose bridge, chin and the junction of the face and neck, and finally to the cheeks. The cheeks are often washed excessively, resulting in a thin stratum corneum.

Prepare a cup of hot water

This is especially important to remember in winter. Prepare a cup of hot water in advance. After washing your face or applying toner (if there is a scrubbing toner process), hold the cup with both hands, and hold the mouth of the cup against your face for a while (not too long). Over time, the effectiveness of skin care products will be infinitely improved.

There are two reasons. First, after your hands are warmed up, applying skin care products and massaging the skin will greatly speed up the absorption of the products and soothe the skin. Second, the hot air slightly steams the skin, which helps the skin to be soft and moisturized and opens the pores, which also helps to absorb skin care products. Be careful not to get too close, everything should be done in moderation.

Point-by-point correction

Eye cream is the product that needs to be applied in small amounts, more than essence, and regardless of texture. The skin around the eyes is very small and thin. If you always massage in circles from the inside near the bridge of the nose to the outside of the temple, over time it will increase the burden on the initial area and cause premature aging and even pigment accumulation of the skin around the eyes.

This is also a question that many people wonder. They use excellent eye cream and have always been very aware of anti-aging, but wrinkles appear very early under their eyes, while wrinkles above their eyes and at the corners of their eyes are not so serious. The correct way to divide the dots is to try to divide it into 4-5 points from the inside close to the bridge of the nose to the temple, and massage from the inside to the outside in sequence. If it doesn't work, apply it back and forth, and press the remaining amount on the upper eyelid.

Facial mask

Facial masks and exfoliating products are definitely not something that the more the better. No matter how gentle the exfoliating product is, the frequency of use should not exceed once a week. As for facial masks, the use cycle of cleansing masks is slightly longer, moisturizing masks is slightly shorter, whitening and anti-aging masks are in the middle, but it is best not to use them more than 3 times a week.

As long as the mask is not wash-free, it can be washed. I told you that it is wash-free. It is best to at least rinse it briefly with clean water before going to bed, or wipe off the remaining substances with a tissue/cotton pad. Otherwise your face will become a great bait for attracting dust at night. Of course, if you don't feel sticky or heavy, you don't need to clean it.
