1. Three core goals of basic skin care

2. 5-step basic skin care formula (universal in the morning and evening)

** ? Morning: Cleansing → Moisturizing → Sunscreen * *

** ? Evening: Cleansing → Moisturizing → Repair * *

1 ️ ⃣ Gentle cleaning

❌ Myth: Frequent use of soap base and face washer destroys the skin barrier

✅ The right way to do it:

-Dry skin/sensitive skin: wash your face with water in the morning and cleanse your face with amino acids in the evening

-Oily skin: Amino acid cleansing in the morning and evening, T zone can be locally strengthened

✨ Product selection: Weakly acidic, non-irritating ingredients (avoid SLS/SLES surface activity)

2 ️ ⃣ Precise moisturizing

❌ Myth: Crazy application of mask leads to "excessive hydration"

✅ The right way to do it:

-Oily skin: Choose a refreshing lotion containing hyaluronic acid and ceramide

-Dry skin: occlusive moisturizing ingredients such as squalane and shea butter

⚠ ️ Be wary of "oil on the outside and dryness on the inside": the essence is that the barrier is damaged and needs to be repaired first and then hydrated

3 ️ ⃣ Year-round sun protection

⛱ ️ * * Ultraviolet rays are the culprit of aging! **

-Daily commuting: SPF 30 + PA + + +

-Outdoor exposure: SPF 50 + PA + + + + (reapply every 2 hours)
