20 Tips for Better Skin
1. Skin care products regardless of age:
For adult skin care products, it is not necessary to buy them according to their age. The key to choosing skin care products is to look at skin quality and ingredients.
No matter whether you are 20 or 50 years old, the basic structure of your skin is the same. If you want to moisturize, you can buy moisturizing products. If you want to whiten, you can use whitening products.
2. Skin care products are gender-neutral:
You can use it as long as it suits your skin type - of course, you can choose the affordable one for products with the same function.
3. Wear sunscreen all year round:
UV rays can kill skin cells, causing skin aging, darkening, and damage.
Therefore, take good sun protection measures, not only to prevent tanning but more importantly, to make your skin age slower.
4. Wear sunscreen even on snowy days:
The ultraviolet rays in winter seem to be weak, but once snowflakes accumulate, the white world is reflected everywhere, and the "power" of ultraviolet rays is "greatly enhanced".
5. The mask only has the function of hydrating:
There are thousands of masks, all of which are useful for moisturizing.
By soaking the stratum corneum and forming a sealing film, the mask can make the skin look supple and translucent, and even have the illusion of whitening.
Occasionally apply a mask, it's okay to save an emergency, as for other effects, don't expect too much.
6. The mask should not be applied every day:
Recommended once a week, 2 to 3 times a week is completely sufficient.
Too much use can lead to "over-hydration of the skin", leading to stratum corneum damage, skin thinning, and impaired barrier function.
7. A barrier cream is not a barrier:
The actual effect of isolation is only equivalent to low-power sunscreen, and with isolation, sunscreen is still essential.
So, whether to apply or not to apply it in isolation, it depends on your mood.
8. Don't “deep clean” at every turn:
Your face is not so dirty, you don't need to "power decontamination" at every turn, and using various "deep cleaning" products too frequently will damage the skin barrier and even make you vulnerable to "sensitive skin".
9. There is no need to“exfoliate” frequently:
Although the stratum corneum is a layer of "dead skin", it is also an important guard for the skin. Healthy skin itself has a replacement cycle, and the aging stratum corneum will fall off naturally.
Just remember to wash your face, exfoliating is not necessary.
10. Wash your face alternately with hot and cold water, you cannot shrink pores:
Theoretically, with the cold shrinkage of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands after the cold compress, the pores are indeed reduced for a short period of time.
But in the end, the pores will revert, and it's all in vain.
Unless one-day humans invent "artificial pores", they will expand with heat and shrink with cold.
11. Wash your face towel frequently:
The towel sucks the water from your face, and after a long time, bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, etc. all gather together. So, be diligent, wash and dry more.
12. Toner does not need to be wiped with a cotton pad:
Wiping the toner with a cotton pad not only does not have the so-called secondary cleaning effect, but it will damage the normal stratum corneum due to repeated friction.
13. Do not tap or massage when applying skin care products:
When smearing skin care products, although slapping the face or massaging can bring pleasure, it does not help absorption but accelerates the evaporation of skin care products...
For sensitive skin, the dilated blood vessels are further irritated when tapped and rubbed, increasing the chance of allergies.
14. Eat fewer sweets and dairy products when you have acne:
Current research has found that both sweets and dairy products, including whole and skim milk, can exacerbate acne.
Boys and girls who love acne, you can eat less during acne breakouts.
Pulling, squeezing, and other actions can easily cause local infection and leave acne marks.
Casually squeezing the acne in the "dangerous triangle" around the nose and mouth may also cause intracranial infection, which is very dangerous.
16. Preservatives are not terrible, but they are terrible:
Regular and qualified skin care products need to be added with preservatives within a safe dosage range to ensure safety.
As for those without preservatives, you should be more careful, because you don't know what strange things are added to them to preserve...
17. Natural does not equal safe:
Homemade natural products may contain light-sensitive substances, which can easily cause adverse reactions and cause skin darkening or allergies.
Secondly, there are many uncontrollable impurities and pathogenic bacteria in it, and the skin is not a digestive organ, so it cannot eat so many pure natural, and pollution-free foods.
18. There are no "quick whitening" products:
Under the condition that the ingredients are safe and legal, no external whitening and freckle removal products can achieve "quick effects".
The so-called "quick-acting" products are often added with glucocorticoids or mercury, which can be harmful.
19. Collagen doesn’t get into your face:
Collagen is a "large molecule" structure, and the channels in human skin are very small.
Therefore, it is basically impossible for the collagen applied to the face to be absorbed by the epidermis.
20. The skin does not need detoxification:
But those who instigate you to "detox" need to be eliminated from your friend list immediately.
The so-called "detoxification" products are either pure fudge or contain a lot of hormones. If you go on "drastic medicine" blindly, you will lose a lot if your face is rotten.
