The more you use skin care products, the worse your skin may be. How to determine whether your skin barrier is damaged?

The more and more frequently you use skin care products, the worse your skin may be! Why does my skin get worse after using so many skin care products? I found that it all comes down to the fact that many people don’t understand the basic knowledge about skin.

The more you use skin care products, the worse your skin may be

This kind of thing is real. In fact, scientific skin care, cleansing, moisturizing and sun protection are the most important. The key to skin care in autumn and winter is moisturizing. In winter, it is advisable to take a bath every three to five days, and apply some moisturizer after bathing. Don't be superstitious about certain skin care products that have special effects. On the contrary, if a certain skin care product makes your skin instantly better, then you should suspect whether some ingredients that should not be added are added to it. When some people take care of their skin, they use multiple skin care products such as water, essence, lotion, etc., which is actually a huge burden on the skin. Girls who wear makeup, apply powder, and use liquid foundation can easily cause acne.

Therefore, many times, your skin becomes worse and worse because you have been brainwashed into believing that “skin care products are omnipotent”, and then your skin gradually loses its original physiological functions under the “spoiling” of layer upon layer and bottle upon bottle of skin care products. Then the skin really becomes drier, oilier, more sensitive, acne increases, spots become more severe, and so on. Falling into a vicious cycle.

Why? Because the skin is like a child. When you think it can do nothing, you replenish water when it is lacking in water, control oil when the oil secretion is excessive, use anti-inflammatory methods when it has acne, and lighten spots when it has them. Well, you do everything for it, and it grows up to be a second-generation rich kid who can do nothing and will torture you whenever it has nothing to do. Of course, this doesn’t mean that skin care products are completely unnecessary. With the onset of functional decline, the body's own functions begin to decline, and skin functions are no exception, so we need external skin care products to supplement and enhance functions to a certain extent. If the body's own secretion is insufficient, external supplementation is required. The metabolism itself decreases, while external forces increase it to a certain extent. But that's all. What you must realize is that what makes your skin better is definitely not the skin care products, but the skin itself, or you yourself.

Therefore, experts recommend that in daily life, we should eat healthily, maintain a regular schedule, maintain a balanced nutrition, and avoid staying up late. In addition, patients with acne-prone skin should eat less sweets and control the intake of dairy products, especially low-fat milk and fried foods. This is the way to skin care.

How to tell if your skin barrier is damaged

If your face flushes after strenuous exercise and cannot recover naturally for a long time, or if your skin experiences uncomfortable symptoms such as dryness, stinging, and peeling due to stimulation such as strong winds, temperature changes, and emotional tension, it means that the skin barrier has been damaged. In daily life, excessive cleansing and excessive use of facial masks and skin care products not only fail to protect the skin, but on the contrary will cause damage to the skin barrier.
