What is the reason why skin can't absorb skin care products?
The effect of skin care products is up to the skin.

Think skin care is omnipotent or useless. It is extreme to think that it is just a kind of psychological comfort. This view stems from my own incomprehension of skin care products. As the saying goes, know yourself and know yourself. Skin is the battlefield, and skin care products are the winner. How to effectively exert the maximum value of skin care products? We analyze them one by one:

First of all, we must understand that skin care products have a clear skin care function-the skin that has been properly cared for and combed by skin care is in a completely different state. Nature is beautiful in time and needs to be cared for. So don't think about completely getting rid of or relying solely on skin care products, neither of which will receive satisfactory results.

What we should pay attention to is how to choose the right skin care products according to our own situation and avoid using inappropriate, harmful and wrong products or methods.

Tolerance and effect limit of skin care

Some people can see the obvious effect in the initial stage of using skin care products, but the effect is not so obvious in the later stage. This is not usually called, but the human body has developed tolerance for this product. In fact, this is a normal situation, and the reasons may come from three aspects.

1; Accustomed to a better skin condition. As Su Dongpo said, I entered Lan Zhi's room for a long time, but I didn't feel its fragrance.

2. The skin can't get better indefinitely, there is always a limit. The closer you get to the limit, the smaller the room for improvement, but you must stick to it, because good things grind and good skin care.

3; A certain skin condition is controlled by many factors. If only some of these factors are improved, the less the others are improved, the effect may not be ideal. For example, if you try your best to use whitening skin care products without taking precautions, the effect of skin whitening will never be satisfactory. Basic nursing, moisturizing and sun protection are integrated.

Why does skin care rebound?

After using some products or methods, the skin condition will get better quickly, but after stopping using them, the skin condition will deteriorate sharply in a short time, even worse than before using them, that is, the skin care effect will rebound.

Most of the products that cause the rebound are quick-acting skin care products containing certain hormones or heavy metals, especially hormone components-if they are not used, they will rebound and form hormone dependence. This kind of skin care product is not uncommon and needs high vigilance.

It is normal that the nursing effect will gradually weaken after stopping using skin care products, because the skin will naturally age and must be maintained constantly, just like eating, because people will be hungry constantly, so they can't expect to stop eating once.

About quick-acting beauty

1: The effective time of skin care products depends on their functions. It doesn't mean that if you use it today, you will see obvious effects tomorrow. It takes time for seedlings to grow.

2. We know that we can see the effect immediately, and the products of cleaning, hydrating, moisturizing and sun protection can all see the obvious and faster effect. It is impossible to see the effect immediately by removing spots, whitening, removing acne, anti-wrinkle and repairing. This product takes a long time according to the metabolic cycle of the skin, and it can only be quick-acting unless it contains illegally added hormones and other ingredients. Generally, such products need long-term persistence and comprehensive care to see obvious changes.

When we are all pursuing speed and rapid obvious effect, in order to meet the needs of the market and some customers, unscrupulous merchants began to add hormones and other ingredients to their products, such as whitening lead and mercury products. Although it can take effect quickly, the derivative hormone dermatitis is extremely painful to repair.

Good skin lies in maintenance, not repair.

Therefore, everyone should pay attention to the metabolic law of skin while taking care of daily skin, rather than one-sided effect-based care. On the road of skin care, slow is fast, haste makes waste.

How to treat the stimulation of skin care products

Skin care products often irritate the skin, and many customers come to consult. Today we will analyze two aspects of stimulus in detail. One is caused by the ingredients and raw materials of the product itself.

We know that some ingredients are more likely to cause irritation, such as lower alcohols, and the most common ones are alcohol, propylene glycol, volatile substances, such as essence, vegetable oil, acids, such as glycolic acid, some antibacterial preservatives and so on. Many functional ingredients may also cause irritation to the skin at a high enough concentration, such as vitamin C. Without concentration, there is no irritation.

The other is that the skin is damaged, or the stratum corneum is thin, the skin is seriously short of water, and the water locking ability is poor, which will lead to the skin's ability to stimulate the outside world becoming smaller and irritating.

For example, water is gentle, and if the skin is broken or damaged, even spraying pure water may sting. So simply speaking, there is something wrong with the skin care products used. Consider the original factors of your own skin. Skin care has two sides, skin metabolism and superficial pore blockage are a problem, and physical reasons will also be mapped to the skin. This cannot be ignored.

How much can skin care products be absorbed by the skin?

There are two extreme views on the absorption of skin care products.

1: One is that many products promote "direct access to dermis", "instantaneous penetration" and even "micro-shaping".

2. Some people doubt whether skin care products can be absorbed by the skin and play a role. They think that skin is tight, skin care products are difficult to be absorbed, and they are rarely absorbed in time. A small amount of absorption is not enough to play a role, so skin care products are useless at all.

Both of the above viewpoints are biased. There are five basic viewpoints about the absorption of skin care products.

1: Skin can absorb skin care products. Extreme examples of absorption are; Percutaneous absorption poisoning can only occur below the dermis, so it is the most obvious absorption.

2. Not all skin care products need to be absorbed before they can work.

3. It is not good to absorb too fast, but it will cause harm and irritation to the skin. So, please don't pursue or believe in' instant absorption' and spend a lot of money on it.

4: Strong skin absorption and low skin absorption do not mean that skin care products have no effect. Many substances, such as vitamins, trace elements and active biological factors, can play a great role as long as they are very small.

5. Absorption is hierarchical. Generally speaking, it refers to the skin entering the skin, but the concept of internal is very broad: some penetrate between epidermal cells, some enter epidermal cells, and some enter the dermis. Shallow absorption can also play a role.

Skin care products don't have to be absorbed to work. Simply put, cleaning, hydrating, moisturizing and moth-proofing do not need to be absorbed, but only need to play a role in the epidermis of the skin. Sunscreen will cause adverse reactions if it is absorbed.

Skin absorption is a complex and slow process, which is not easy to be detected. Usually what we feel is' skin adhesion'. For example, skin care products can't be felt soon after being applied to the skin, which only shows that the skin adhesion of this product is very good.

Some women's skin is greasy after applying skin care products, and they will say' it is not easy to be absorbed, and things are not good', but it may actually be the opposite. For example, water is not easy to absorb, but natural lipids are easy to absorb and mineral oil is not easy to absorb.

Many nutritious products need to be added with oil to meet the requirements of absorption and moisturizing; In addition, oil can gradually release nutrients (slow release) and nourish the skin for a long time. So don't identify products that look oily as inferior products.

When describing the feeling of using skin care products, I suggest to use the word' sticking skin' more and avoid using' absorbing' to avoid misleading.
