Want good skin! None of these 4 skin care steps can be missed

Let the skin drink enough water

When the skin absorbs a lot of water and is fully hydrated, the barrier function decreases, and the active ingredients are easier to penetrate through the stratum corneum cells. In order to avoid insufficient water content in the skin, which affects the absorption of cosmetic products, you can first use lotion to let the skin drink enough water.

Or, if you don't want to spend extra money to buy a bottle of water, you can simplify the complexity and make full use of the hydration of your skin when washing your face on weekdays: start skin care steps as soon as possible after washing your face, and don't wait until your skin is dry before applying skin care products, let alone take care of your skin without washing your face.

"Sanding" the cuticle

The stratum corneum is too thick, which not only causes rough skin and dull skin tone, but also affects the absorption of cosmetic ingredients. If the absorption "distance" of the stratum corneum becomes shorter, the active ingredients will enter the skin more easily and better exert their functions.

The main methods of exfoliation are physical scrubbing and chemical renewal. The physical sanding method is to use products such as facial cleanses or scrubs with scrub particles. The chemical renewal method mainly uses products containing fruit acid to accelerate the renewal and shedding of stratum corneum.

Massage to promote absorption

Massage can make some small particles of active ingredients enter the hair follicles of the skin, and the hair follicles often penetrate deeply into the skin, so the active ingredients enter the hair follicles, which can be considered as a shortcut to the base or even the dermis. Therefore, correct massage when using the product is beneficial to the improvement of the product effect.

Create a skin-isolated environment

The mask has a promoting effect on the absorption of active ingredients. It seals the local skin and increases the degree of skin hydration. At the same time, the skin temperature rises, which is conducive to molecular movement (penetration), and to a certain extent, also promotes the absorption of active ingredients.

Therefore, we can simulate the principle of mask promoting absorption, and add a layer of covering to enhance absorption after using essence products. So, what are we supposed to do?

1. Use a cotton pad. Moisten the dense makeup cotton and apply it to the skin where the cosmetics have been applied, especially for the areas that need to be solved, such as spots and acne marks.

2. Use some heavy cream. A water-in-oil cream product might be a bit more suitable. What needs to be considered is whether the front and back layers of essence and cream body will affect each other.
