The five traps of skin care in summer, the third one is almost caught by everyone!

The sun is scorching, are you really doing your skincare right? Every season, there are always a group of people who unconsciously fall into the misunderstanding of skin care, which makes their skin unconsciously damaged. Today, let's reveal the top five most common skincare traps in summer, and see how many of them have you fallen into?

 

 

❌ Trap 1: Frequent use of facial cleanser with too strong cleansing power

 

As the temperature rises, many people feel that their faces are always shiny, so they start to frequently use soap-based facial cleanser with strong cleansing power, and even wash their faces more than three times a day.

 

Truth: Excessive cleaning will destroy the sebum film and lead to damage to the skin barrier. Instead, it will stimulate the sebaceous glands to secrete more oil, forming a vicious circle of "the more you wash, the more oil you get".

 

Solution:

 

· Clean once in the morning and once in the evening

· Choose gentle cleansing products such as amino acid cleansing

· Deep cleaning 2-3 times a week is enough

 

 

❌ Trap 2: Think that sun protection is not needed indoors

 

"Don't you need sunscreen for a day in the office today?" This is a common mistake many people make.

 

Truth: UVA ultraviolet rays can penetrate glass and reach the dermis layer of the skin, resulting in collagen damage, skin aging and stains. Even indoors by the window, sun protection is still required.

 

Solution:

 

· Sunscreen must be applied every morning after completing skincare

· Choose broad-spectrum sunscreen products with SPF 30 +, PA + + + + or above

· Re-coat every 4 hours (e.g. working by a window)

 

 

❌ Trap 3: Frequent use of hydrating spray

 

In the air-conditioned room of the office in summer, many people have a bottle of hydrating spray on their desks. Spray it when they feel dry.

 

Truth: Frequent use of spray without subsequent moisturizing will take away the skin's own moisture when the water evaporates, resulting in drier spraying.

 

Solution:

 

· After using the spray, gently press with a paper towel to absorb excess moisture

· Apply moisturizing lotion immediately after spraying to lock in moisture

· Choose sprays with moisturizing ingredients instead of pure water sprays

 

 

❌ Trap 4: Neglect neck care

 

Many people only do skin care on the chin and completely ignore the neck.

 

Truth: The skin on the neck is thinner than the face, with fewer sebaceous and sweat glands, and it is more prone to dryness, wrinkles and laxity problems. In summer, there are many low-neck clothes, and the neck is more susceptible to ultraviolet damage.

 

Solution:

 

· Be sure to bring it to the neck during skin care

· Don't forget your neck when applying sunscreen

· Give special care to your neck once a week

 

 

❌ Trap 5: No skin care products at night

 

"The face is oily enough in summer evenings, so you don't need to put anything on anymore"-this is the biggest misunderstanding!

 

Truth: Night is the golden period of skin repair. High temperature, sun exposure and air-conditioned rooms in summer will put pressure on the skin, and proper care is needed at night to repair daytime damage.

 

Solution:

 

· Choose evening skincare products with refreshing texture

· Use a night cream or serum with repairing ingredients

· Use a sleeping mask 2-3 times a week

 

 

? The right way to open skin care in summer

 

1. Be gentle in cleaning: choose amino acid cleansing to avoid over-cleaning

2. Sun protection should be in place: use sufficient sun protection every day, and indoors are no exception

3. Moisturizing should be precise: choose moisturizing products with refreshing texture, and locking moisture is more important

4. Repair should be timely: use repair products at night to help skin recover

5. Periodic care should be appropriate: cleansing mask 1-2 times a week, hydrating mask 2-3 times a week

 

 

 

 

Remember, skincare is a science, not metaphysics. Only by knowing your skin needs and avoiding common misunderstandings can you have healthy and bright skin this summer!
