2. Common sense of beauty and skin care
1. You can't just look at skin quality when buying skin care products
Beauty experts and skin care experts always tell us to make the most suitable skin care program according to skin quality. However, in 212, this former "golden rule" was challenged! The skin care program can no longer be formulated simply according to the skin quality, because you should also pay attention to other needs of the skin: firming, anti-acne and fading spots. Of course, the choice of basic skin care products such as facial cleanser and moisturizing cream should be based on skin quality, but it is not necessary to continue to be limited to skin quality for essence, eye cream and skin care oil. It is the new rule of skin care to choose high-end skin care products according to your own skin problems.
2. No skin care products can replace a good night's sleep
Frequent lack of sleep will trigger stress reaction, which will increase the cortisone level in the body and stimulate the skin. Do you know that?/You know what? When you fall asleep, your body temperature will be higher than when you are awake, which means that when you fall asleep, your skin will absorb the product better.
Third, the most effective way to rejuvenate the skin is exfoliation
Gentle physical scrub and recent popular daily chemical renewal methods can promote cuticle renewal and skin self-repair. After use, the skin will glow immediately, and it is easier to absorb nutrients and make up more docile. If you always lack exercise and look dull, you might as well try it quickly.
4. Try only one new product at a time
to avoid excessive skin irritation. In addition to adding only one new product at a time in the skin care program, it is also necessary to avoid using exfoliating products (including retinol, glycolic acid and benzoyl peroxide) immediately after exfoliation, otherwise it will easily irritate the skin.
5. Squeeze your nose for acne, and don't pursue it.
The impulse to squeeze acne is strong and irresistible. But please remember this contrast: if you occasionally squeeze acne that obviously blocks pores, the pores of the nose will be more detailed, and the skin of the nose will be cleaner and cleaner with diligent and in-depth cleaning every day; But if you squeeze hard, and you have to squeeze every pore, you will be willing. Yes, it will be clean for a day or two (or it may be red for a while), but all the expanded pores will be blocked again soon, and there will be micro-inflammation in the damaged position, which will induce pigment to be active, and stains will easily appear around the pores, which is difficult to recover.
