Skincare also needs a sense of ritual? Be careful that "delicate skincare" is stealing your beauty!

Recently, I received a late night message from a fan: "Blogger, I spend 2 hours a day on skincare, but my skin is getting worse and worse..." After reading her 18-step skincare routine, I found the crux of the problem: when we turn skincare into a "task", the skin bears too much!

? What is "Skincare Ritual Sensation Poisoning"?

Symptom self-examination:
✅ I always feel uneasy if I apply one coat less
✅ I want to buy new products when I see them, and dressing tables are piled up into "counters"
✅ The massage technique is so complicated that it is like doing facial yoga
✅ More than 1 hour of skincare per night
✅ Anxious and unable to sleep until you complete all the steps

If you win more than 2, you may have to be wary of the burden of "excessive refinement"!

? New concept of skin care: "Effective and simple"

Principle 1: The three-step golden rule
Cleansing + Repair + Sunscreen = Perfect Skin Care

· Oily skin: cleansing + essence + sunscreen
· Dry skin: cleansing + cream + sunscreen
· Sensitive skin: cleansing + repair cream + hard sunscreen

Principle 2: Solve only one problem at a time

· Acne period: focus on anti-inflammation and acne removal
· Sensitive period: focus on barrier repair
· Dull phase: focus on antioxidants
Remember: the skin can only effectively process 1-2 efficacy ingredients at a time!

? Advice from a dermatologist

"Many patients use the skin as a test field. In fact, what it needs more is a stable environment and proper rest."
--Director Li, Department of Dermatology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital


? 'Simple Skincare' Challenge

Week 1: Discontinue all masks
Week 2: Essence reduced to 1
Week 3: Try weekend muscle fasting
Week 4: Build your own minimalist process

Remember: The best skincare is to make the skin feel comfortable, not to make the dresser look luxurious. Do subtraction to skincare and addition to beauty!
