When I first read this book, I was also shocked, because the "skin care" method without using any skin care products completely violated our conventional skin care concept. It's like publicly declaring that the skin care industry is a trap. Therefore, considering this, I'm going to give it a try.
The author tells us that our skin has natural moisturizing factors and some normal flora to protect us from pathogenic bacteria. Although skin care products contain moisturizing factors, in the long run, they can't really improve the moisturizing function inside the skin, but will destroy the skin's skills. Just like drinking poison to quench thirst!
Subtract three requirements for skin care: First, do not apply, that is, do not apply anything, and maintain the natural moisturizing barrier of the skin. Second, it does not rub, because when applying makeup, removing makeup and skin care products, the natural moisturizing factors originally contained in the skin will fall off. Third, don't over-clean, because both makeup remover and facial cleanser contain a lot of surfactants, which can emulsify the water-based and oily components in skin care products and can also be used as cleaners.
You can do "subtraction skin care" on weekends! I don't go out on weekends anyway. You can do it in this order. Wash your face with water in the morning, and then don't do any skin care and makeup. You may feel particularly uncomfortable at first, as if your skin is particularly tight, but you can get used to this feeling in half an hour. If the skin condition is not good, such as dry itching, redness and tingling, it may be because it relies too much on skin care products, so it is necessary to reduce the use of skin care products in stages.
Let me introduce you to the process of "subtraction skin care" throughout the weekend. Wash your face with warm water in your hand in the morning. The water temperature should not exceed 30℃. You can gently press your face with your fingertips to clean it with the vibration of water. If the T-shaped part is greasy, you can gently touch it and clean it, and you should also pay attention to washing your ears. After washing your face, you can gently dry it with a cotton towel or face towel. Because if you don't dry it, the evaporation of water on the skin surface will lead to the eversion of keratinocytes and dry the skin. Also, gently dry the hairline. At this time, you may feel that your face is oily and not cleaned. These oily things protect the sebum of your skin, so even if there is a little oil, it is acceptable as long as it is not "oily".
Night maintenance is also washed with the same clean water. If you are afraid of dry skin, you can use vaseline and choose vaseline with higher purity. Because vaseline is not easy to penetrate into the skin, it acts as a skin barrier. When in use, dig a sesame seed with a cotton swab, then push it away in the palm of your hand and gently stick it in a dry place. Don't think that there is not enough vaseline. When you think it's not enough, it's actually just right. If you are not sure, you can clean the mirror at home and put your face on it. If there is oil residue on the mirror, you have painted too much. If you don't use vaseline and stick grease on the mirror, you don't need to apply vaseline on your face. Your skin can be self-sufficient
The above are some of the contents learned in this book, and new contents will be updated in the future.
Many girls have the habit of making up, so if they want to practice muscle fasting at once, they may feel very anxious and dare not use this method. Then you can follow a slow-moving method. First, slowly stop using cosmetics that are harmful to the skin. The first step is liquid foundation and makeup removal. These cosmetics all contain surfactants, which can attach to keratin and then enter intercellular lipids, so liquid foundation is not easy to remove makeup and will harm the skin. If you really have to use liquid foundation, you can change it into honey powder and apply a thin layer. As for perfect and beautiful makeup, of course, it can be made. After all, we are all fairies, but it is good to wear these makeup on special days.
Step 2: Stop using creams and lotions. If you feel dry without them, you can use a proper amount of vaseline according to the above method. On the other hand, the reason why creams and lotions are not used is because they all contain surfactants, which destroy the structure of the stratum corneum. If you strengthen the application of cream for moisturizing, it will make your skin drier.
The third step is to stop using sunscreen, because the surfactant contained in sunscreen may be more harmful than ultraviolet rays. It is recommended to take an umbrella, a hat and long sleeves when going out. You will find that these are really cost-effective ways. Finally, stop using the emulsion. Some girls use emulsion as a hydrating agent for the skin, and spray it when nothing happens. In fact, this is all wet! If you really want to avoid skin dehydration, you should provide a moist environment for your skin, such as using an air humidifier.
There are still a few skin care misunderstandings. I don't know if you will commit them in your life. First, wash your face with hot water, especially when taking a bath. This is absolutely impossible. The moisturizing factor in the stratum corneum will dissolve out, which is why if you wash your face with hot water, your face will feel particularly dry. Therefore, when washing your face, it is best to go into the bathroom. Use warm water, not exceeding 33℃, hold water in your hand and shake it gently. Later, I found a good way to wash my face by myself, that is, holding a handful of warm water, then taking a breath in the water and exhaling it to achieve the effect of shaking my face, especially the T-shaped part, so that it will be cleaner and will not dry. Second, there is no need to get rid of the habit of touching your face and holding your chin, and massage your face. These actions will pull your skin, producing spots and dullness. Third, don't sleep on your stomach. Sleeping on your stomach will cause friction between your pillow and your skin.
Excessive hair maintenance can lead to hair loss!
Massage your scalp carefully when washing your hair! Dry your hair with a hair dryer after washing dishes! The conditioner should stay on the hair surface for a period of time to promote absorption. ...
Have you heard of these so-called "hair care bibles"? If you continue to care for your hair in the above way, you will become one of the people with sparse hair without accident.
Why do you say that? Let's popularize it first. The basic structure of the scalp is basically the same as the skin on our face, but the number and size of pores are different. Hair grows from hair matrix cells and consists of three layers: hair shaft, inner hair root sheath and outer hair root sheath. The outermost layer is covered with sebum.
Most shampoos we use in the market contain various surfactants and preservatives. If you often use these shampoo products containing surfactants, your hair and scalp will be washed very clean. But think about it, when you wash your face with strong facial cleanser, do you feel particularly dry and uncomfortable? So is the scalp. After sebum removal, sebaceous glands will become larger in order to replenish enough water to the skin. Then the nutrients originally provided to the hair matrix will be taken away by the sebaceous glands. In this way, the nutrition of hair stromal cells will be insufficient and fine hairs will grow. Worst of all, if one of the pores grows fine hairs, all the hairs will gradually become cells.
Hair conditioner is also inseparable from surfactants, which destroy the beneficial sebum on the hair surface and make the hair dry.
Next, introduce the correct hair care method. First, wash your hair. First, comb your hair with a comb and wash it with 33℃ hot water and shower. Then cover your hair with a bath towel and gently press it, preferably until it dries naturally. Using this subtraction skin care to maintain the scalp may feel oily at first and can be cleaned with soap bubbles. Because the composition of soap is relatively simple, it does not contain surface active substances. Then slowly remove the soap, and finally achieve the effect of warm water skin care. Note that dandruff may increase when washing with warm water at first, which belongs to the phenomenon of normalization of circulation cycle. But if it is big dandruff and itchy skin, it may be seborrheic dermatitis and you need to go to the hospital.
