Don't worship your skin again! Excessive skincare is stealing your health barrier

The more skincare products, the worse your skin? It's time to subtract skincare

Recently, I received a private message from a fan: "Blogger, I take ten steps of skin care seriously every day, and I use noble brands. Why is my skin becoming more and more sensitive?" After reading her skin care routine, I found the problem-her skin is being overly "spoiled".

? ️ What is "over-skin care syndrome"?

Self-examination checklist:
✅ More than 6 steps to skincare every day
✅ Exfoliate more than 2 times a week
✅ Use more than 3 functional essences at the same time
✅ Remove makeup without makeup
✅ Apply the mask multiple times a day

If you hit more than 2, you may have fallen into the trap of "over-skin care"!

? Four major dangers of excessive skin care

① Damaged skin barrier
Frequent exfoliation and excessive cleansing will destroy the stratum corneum, causing the skin to reduce its ability to lock water and become dry and sensitive.

② Chemical composition accumulation
The superimposed use of a variety of skin care products may cause the ingredients to react with each other, irritate the skin and even cause allergies.

③ Strong skin dependence
Over-reliance on external skin care products will gradually degrade the skin's own repair ability.

④ Increased economic burden
As a result of buying in buy buy, not only is the dresser exploding, but the wallet is also crying.
