[Popular Science] Are you doing the right daily skin care steps?

Function: Remove oil, dirt, sunscreen and makeup residues, and open absorption channels.

Different skin types require different types of cleansing products. For example, oily skin is suitable for cleansing stronger but gentle and non-irritating soap-based or combination cleansing products; Dry skin is more suitable for using amino acid facial cleanser with moisturizing effect; Sensitive skin should choose cleansing products specially designed for sensitive skin and close to the pH value of skin.

Correct operation:

✅ Dry hands and face makeup remover (oil/cream makeup remover products need to be thoroughly emulsified).

❌ Refuse violent rubbing and frequent use of soap-based cleansing (barrier destruction ≈ chronic rotten face!).

✨ Tip: For sensitive muscles, you can try "washing your face with water in the morning" to reduce the burden on your skin.

Function: It mainly plays the role of secondary cleaning and preliminary moisturizing. It can adjust the pH value of the skin, make the skin in a more suitable state, and at the same time prepare for the subsequent skin care steps.

Correct operation:

✅ Take an appropriate amount of toner and pour it on a cotton pad or palm of your hand, gently pat or wipe it on your face and neck, refuse to pat hard (the skin does not absorb slaps!)

❌ Reject "secondary clean water" with too much alcohol content (unless you have a big oily skin).

✨ Answer to the controversy: Is it okay not to use toner? Yes! However, in sensitive periods, the effect of wet compress soothing water is doubled.

Function: The essence contains high concentration of active ingredients, such as nicotinamide, tranexamic acid and other ingredients in whitening essence, which can inhibit pigment production; Anti-wrinkle essence may contain retinol, peptides and other ingredients to promote collagen production and reduce wrinkles.

Correct operation:

✅ Generally, 2-3 drops are enough for the whole face, because the essence has a high concentration of nutrients, and excessive use may burden the skin.

❌ Refuse to blindly follow the trend of "strong drugs" (A alcohols and acids need to establish tolerance!).

✨ Formula: Moisturizing and maintaining stability before the age of 25, superimposing anti-aging after the age of 25, and giving priority to repairing the barrier for sensitive muscles.

Function: It is to lock the nutrients and moisture in the previous skin care steps, and form a protective film on the skin surface to prevent moisture loss.

Correct operation:

✅ Use firming milk in the morning, rub your palms hot and press it on your face.

It can promote the proliferation of fibroblasts, increase the production of collagen and elastin, and firm and elastic. Xylitol, centella asiatica, tremella and other extracts can repair sebum film, thicken stratum corneum, moisturize and lock water.

❌ Refuse "use lotion as cream" (insufficient moisturizing power = leakage while hydrating!).

✨ Cold knowledge: Moisturizing essence can be used instead of lotion in summer, streamlining skin care and making it more refreshing!

Function: Moisturizing + sealing protection, preventing water evaporation and strengthening barrier. Cream is more moisturizing and heavy, and is more suitable for dry and sensitive skin or for use in dry seasons.

Correct operation:
✅ Use cream at night, the dosage is about the size of a 1 yuan coin, don't feel distressed!

Bose fights wrinkles, and with the whitening agent pyranol, it can quickly brighten skin tone and fade spots; Plant xylitol repairs damaged skin, promotes collagen secretion, and makes skin more beautiful and elastic.

❌ Refuse to overlay "lotion + cream" (over-sealing = stuffy acne warning!).

✨ Too little dosage: the size of a soybean? Ask for at least 2 almonds!
