Do you also have this problem: your forehead and nose are oily enough to cook, but your cheeks and corners of your mouth are dry and peeling? When caring for skin, either control oil until cheeks are tight, or moisturize until T-zone acne is stuffy? Don't worry, it's not your fault, but because-one of your faces actually hides two skin types!

? Why does the skin "split"?

T area (forehead + nose) has dense sebaceous glands and vigorous oil secretion; U area (cheeks + chin) has few sebaceous glands and weak water-locking ability. Climate, stress, and wrong skin care will aggravate this differentiation, leading to the embarrassing situation of "volcano on one side and desert on the other".

 

? Four-step method of zoning care: correct seat, precise skin care

1 ️ ⃣ Cleaning: Deep ploughing in the T area, gentle caressing in the U area

· T zone: Use amino acid cleansing to focus on massaging the nose and forehead to dissolve the oil corner plug
· U area: Just take it through quickly to avoid excessive cleaning and damaging the barrier
✅ Tip: Apply cleansing foam to T-zone first, and then clean the whole face after 30 seconds

2 ️ ⃣ Hydration: Wet compress in different zones, each takes what he needs

· T zone: Use green tea, witch hazel and other oil-controlling lotions for 3 minutes
Zone U: Apply a moisturizing lotion such as hyaluronic acid and ceramide for 5 minutes
✅ Affordable alternative: use disposable mask to cut in half and apply wet compresses separately

3 ️ ⃣ Essence: T oil control U oil replenishment

· T-zone: Niacinamide and salicylic acid essence regulate water and oil, shrink pores
· U zone: squalane and panthenol essence repair the barrier, lock moisture and moisturize
✅ Technique: Circle the T area from the inside out, and lift the U area from the bottom up

4 ️ ⃣ Sun protection: T-zone strengthening, U-zone moisturizing

· T zone: Choose Shaker texture for oil control and sunscreen, and apply a layer of loose powder after application
· U zone: Use lotion-type moisturizing and sunscreen to avoid drying out
✅ Reapplying skills: Press the T-zone with sunscreen powder alone in the afternoon


? Cycle Care: Double the Effect of Zoning Mask

· T area: Clean the mud film once a week (only the oil area is applied)
Zone U: Moisturizing repair film twice a week (avoid zone T)
? Lazy method: directly buy special partition masks for T area and U area

❌ Guide to avoiding pitfalls: Common misunderstandings in zoning care


1. Brush acid on the whole face: damaged skin in dry and sensitive areas → only use acid products in the T area
2. Apply the mask crazily: the oily area is over-hydrated → when applying the mask to the U area, just wipe the T area with toner
3. Blindly control oil: T zone is oily outside and dry inside → control oil while using B 5 essence to replenish water

Part touch makeup issues care key points
T area is greasy, rough, makeup removal, mottled, oil control + dredge pores
U area dry pickup powder floating powder moisturizing + repairing barrier
Mixed area (chin + nose) oil and dryness alternate closure frequent zoned care + stability maintenance




Remember: skin care is not one size fits all, and precise zoning can bid farewell to "skin care internal friction"!
