Today, I invited a professional dermatologist and compiled 16 most practical skin care tips for everyone. The first one can save you a lot of money!
1. "Water-oil balance" is a false concept
No trace of "water-oil balance" can be found after searching medical data.
The hydration of the skin is related to hydrating and moisturizing, while the oil secretion is related to the degree of development of the sebaceous glands, temperature, and hormone levels.
Water and oil really have nothing to do with, let alone balance. Staying away from the words "water-oil balance" can save a lot of money.
2. Immediately after washing your face, apply water lotion, the moisturizing effect will be better
Just after washing the face, the stratum corneum of the skin is full of water. At this time, a little bit of water, milk, etc. will build a grease film and moisturizing barrier for the skin, which can more effectively reduce the loss of water from the stratum corneum.
Of course, water, milk, and essence are not necessary, you can choose flexibly according to your skin.
3. Base cream is not a panacea
The major functions promoted by the merchants such as isolation of smog, isolation of ultraviolet rays, isolation of radiation, isolation of make-up, etc., are nothing but to make you money.
Its actual effect is equivalent to a low-power sunscreen. After applying isolation, sunscreen is still indispensable.
To be honest, apply or not apply in isolation, depending on the mood.
4. Aloe vera gel can not remove acne marks
Aloe vera gel can replenish water, but aloe vera gel is useless for removing acne marks.
In most cases, time will take away these acne marks, but there are also individual acne stubbornness. At this time, medical treatments can be considered.
5. Don't exfoliate frequently
The keratinocytes of the skin have their own metabolism rules. Normally, the skin metabolism cycle is 28 days, so there is no need to exfoliate specifically.
I always want to exfoliate and exfoliate, and I can`t help washing my face as soon as it gets oily...On the contrary, it will destroy the surface barrier of the skin, which is tantamount to death.
Generally, it is enough to wash your face twice a day, and it is enough if it is not tight or dry after washing.
6. The mask can only replenish water, don't apply it every day
Whitening, acne removal, spot reduction... There are many kinds of masks on the market, but most of them are exaggerated. The biggest function of the mask is to replenish water. However, it is only effective immediately to replenish water, making people look "watery", but after a long time, they will be beaten back to their original shape.
In addition, most of the masks contain less oil, the moisturizing effect is weak, and the moisture cannot be locked.
Applying a facial mask every day may cause "excessive skin hydration", damaging the stratum corneum, and thinning and fragile skin. It is generally recommended 2 to 3 times a week, which is completely sufficient.
In short, it's okay to apply a mask occasionally to save the emergency. As for other effects, don't expect too much.
7. Red light therapy lamp
The role of red light treatment (1): 660nm red light whitens the skin, tightens the skin, locks in moisture, increases collagen, and keeps your skin youthful.
The role of red light treatment (2): 850nm infrared light can disinfect and sterilize, treat acne, lighten scars, and make your skin condition impeccable
