What are the common skin care misunderstandings?
Mistake 1: the essence directly wipes the face.
I believe that many MMs apply the essence directly to their faces and then apply it all over their faces in circles, but this method is not suitable for creams containing active ingredients or essence. Active ingredients need to be absorbed at a certain temperature, so you lack the step of heating.
Correct method
Put a proper amount of essence in the palm of your hand, divide the whole face into three areas: forehead, cheek and chin along the direction of facial lymph detoxification, and then gently draw the essence away with your palm in the above direction. You can also add appropriate massage to increase absorption and promote circulation.
Mistake 2: Push eye cream horizontally.
When the eye cream is pushed horizontally, the skin of the eyes is easily injured by friction, and at the same time, it will increase the chance of fine lines in the eyes. Be sure to be vigilant.
Correct method
The correct way to apply eye cream is to squeeze a small amount of eye cream on the abdomen of the ring finger, and then gently press it on the eye skin. From the outer corner of the eye to the inner corner of the eye, press the eye cream on the eye skin by clicking. This will help the absorption of eye cream, promote skin blood circulation and eliminate dark circles. However, the click amplitude and intensity must be small and light.
Mistake 3: Tap the toner with your hand.
Many mm use their hands to save toner, which is not desirable. Toner must not be saved, and you should not pat it with your hands, because unclean palms will affect the effect, which is not conducive to the effective implementation of secondary cleaning.
Correct method
Soak the cotton pad with toner first, and then pat the face and neck from the inside out and from the bottom up. Then wipe horizontally with the nose as the middle position. This will wipe off the aged cutin and make the skin cleaner.
Mistake 4: Apply cream from bottom to top.
Many MM will apply cream to the palm of their hands and then apply it to their faces from top to bottom, which is not good either. Top-down will aggravate the traction of gravity and make the skin more prone to aging and relaxation, which is really terrible.
Correct method
First, apply the cream to chin, cheeks, forehead and nose tip, and then slowly upward from chin, through nose and to forehead; Then apply the cream to your cheeks from both sides of your mouth. For products with soothing fragrance, this method can make the nose with sensitive sense of smell enjoy the comfort of fragrance first.
Mistake 5: Promote isolation in all directions.
MM's should wear isolation sunscreen every day. If you push the bottom away from the center of the face, it is not only difficult to apply evenly, but also easy to apply too thick and block pores. The consequences can be imagined.
Correct method
How to get sunscreen-take proper amount between fingers or palms, knock it off gently and pat it on the part that needs sunscreen. It should be noted that sunscreen should cover the neck, chest, arms, ears (especially those parts that are easy to forget and get sunburned) and any other exposed parts.
Mistake 6: Mixing multiple exfoliating products.
There are many kinds of exfoliating products on the market, with different textures and using methods. If you are not careful, you will exfoliate excessively. For example, some toners have the function of regulating horniness. If you use them every day, you don't need to exfoliate frequently. Skin care products containing acid can also exfoliate, and should not be used with exfoliating cream or scrub.
Correct method
When choosing exfoliating products, just choose the one that suits you according to your own situation. For oily skin with thick cutin and large pores, you can exfoliate it with gel or scrub, and exfoliate it no more than twice a week. For dry skin, exfoliation once every two weeks is enough. If you usually use acidic skin care products, you can reduce it to once a month. Keep sensitive skin as little as possible. Just after cleaning, use toner for secondary cleaning.
Mistake 7: Ignore the eyes when applying the mask.
Everyone knows that it is really comfortable to apply a mask after washing your face, but what if you can't take care of your eyes? Do you feel that every time you finish the mask, the skin around your eyes seems to dry out? If you don't moisturize your face in time after washing, fine lines will soon find you.
Correct method
When applying a mask, it is best to apply an eye mask around the eyes. You'd better lie down and let your skin absorb nutrients quietly. The moment you take off the mask, your whole face is wet. If it is inconvenient to apply sheets, you can also apply a layer of eye cream to protect your eyes!
Six common skin care misunderstandings of girls
1, pure lemon lemon juice is highly acidic, pH 2, just like sucking lemon will destroy enamel on teeth. If pure lemon is used directly on the skin, the skin will be strongly stimulated and the balance will be destroyed. (Tips: Remember! If you want to use it, you must add water to dilute it, and the ratio is 1: 10)
2. Vaseline Vaseline can be used to moisturize fragile skin, even mosquito bites and wounds. Can play a very good role. But it can't be used as a product to moisturize the skin for a long time. At first, the skin will feel soft, but just like the water-locking property of vaseline, rough emollients will also seal dust in the skin and become drier over time.
3, hair gel Most hair dye products may cause irritation when in contact with the skin, so pay special attention to hair gel here. Some people use it to set makeup at critical moments, but it will cause your skin to be dry, clog pores, and cause irritation and allergies.
4, hydrogen peroxide as a mild preservative, hydrogen peroxide is one of the best ways to prevent infection, or timely care after injury, but remember, you can't use it to treat acne. Besides being corrosive, it is also a common allergen, which can cause inflammatory reaction and infect the skin again.
5, alcohol hydrogen peroxide, alcohol for external use are antibacterial disinfectants, used to disinfect wounds, avoid infection, and clean your house. Stick them on your face, and you will feel stinging, because alcohol is one of the driest reagents, which can cause extreme dryness on your face.
6, baking soda Although we know that baking soda can exfoliate, the common household baking soda is too alkaline on the face, and the acid-base balance is very important. The healthy pH of your skin is about 4.5-5, while the pH of baking soda is 9. Using too alkaline ingredients will destroy and damage the natural barrier of the skin, and will also lead to a large loss of water, which will damage your skin's own regulatory ability.
10 skin care misunderstanding
1. Blindly buy skin care products without knowing the skin quality?
This is all wet! Imagine that dry skin girls use alcohol-containing skin care products, which will only make the skin moisture and oil evaporate faster, and it is strange to keep it dry; Furthermore, choosing functional products with super complex ingredients will only greatly increase the sensitization probability. Mastering your own skin type and caring for your skin in a targeted way can greatly avoid the possibility of buying the wrong skin care products. As for how to test skin quality, there are various methods online. My sister and I have done "Dr. Bergman 16 skin typing test", which has certain reference; Many skin care products counters will also provide free skin testing service, which is recommended to you.
2. Do I need to remove makeup only after wearing makeup?
After makeup, makeup removal is necessary, but makeup is by no means the only prerequisite for makeup removal. In fact, as long as you have used sunscreen and isolation products, or have been outdoors with high air pollution index for a long time, you need to use mild makeup remover. Otherwise hum, wait for the oil and air pollutants secreted by the skin to stick to your face. Not only sisters, but also most skin care gods agree that cleanliness is the key to skin care. If the skin can't be deeply cleaned, there is no need to talk about follow-up skin care.
3. Clean and then clean, right?
Although cleanliness is very important, excessive cleanliness is another misunderstanding. Repeated cleaning like obsessive-compulsive disorder will only consume a lot of natural moisturizing factors in the stratum corneum, which is also an extreme. And don't rub your face repeatedly when washing your face, rinse it repeatedly with hot water, and finally wipe your face with a rough towel ... Congratulations! Your face will only become drier and rougher because of this.
4. Make-up water can only be used on the face with a cotton pad?
In fact, most girls are used to patting their skin with a cotton pad, which can help absorb moisture and remove waste keratin. However, Goose's classification of lotion itself is also dazzling, and different types determine its usage methods are also very different. A simple way to distinguish is: pat the cleaning liquid with a cotton pad; Whitening lotion needs wet application with cotton pad. It is recommended that girls pay attention to the suggestions on the use of products and operate according to their personal skin and habits ~
I'm still young. Is it enough to use eye cream instead of eye essence?
Once, a sister came to chat with her sister and asked her to recommend eye cream suitable for her age, adding: "Eye essence is not used for the time being, but it is too young to use now." I gave her a crying face at once. Yes, the eye area is the most delicate skin on the whole face, but this does not mean that you should abandon the eye essence to reduce the burden on the eye skin! My sister's suggestion is that you need to summarize your eye skin endurance and absorption through previous skin care experience. If you add eye essence, it will make your eyes more sensitive and even grow fat particles. In addition to considering whether eye skin care products are suitable for the skin, you should also check whether your massage techniques are accurate. In the case of normal skin endurance, I suggest you use eye essence and eye cream together. After all, different products have different effects, especially the eye essence and eye cream of the same brand, which are generally better when used together ~
6. Different brands of skin care products overlap, ok?
Different brands of skin care products can be superimposed, but only if you have a certain understanding of the ingredients of skin care products, not skin care white. Blindly overlapping different brands of skin care products with different effects without knowing your skin quality and skin needs will only make your skin with limited tolerance at a loss (mom, what's it like to say whitening, moisturizing and anti-aging later? ! Mud, acne, and red blood may all be skin protests against the mix and match of skin care products! So how to ensure the stability of the skin? Our sister's method is particularly simple: if possible, choose a whole set of skin care products of the same brand, and take a step back. You can try essence and cream to choose the same brand; Choosing the same brand of eye essence and eye cream can greatly reduce the rejection probability of the skin. Or, choose moisturizing emulsion and emulsion, and add a functional essence on this basis.
7. Skin care products?
Speaking of the mixing of skin care products upstairs, it may lead to mud rubbing because of the conflict of ingredients, so let's continue to talk about mud rubbing. I believe every girl has encountered a similar situation. The reason for rubbing mud is not only the one upstairs, but also that the skin care products themselves add polymer glue (a component that can make skin care products look thicker and more advanced), which will directly lead to the problem of rubbing mud. In addition, it may remind you that it is time to remove the old waste cuticle or check the shedding frequency. It is precisely because the stratum corneum is damaged or too thick that skin care products cannot be absorbed by the skin, resulting in mud rubbing. In short, if mud rubbing happens, look for these reasons.
8. Can the mask replace the daily skin care steps?
How lazy! Although the mask can really double the skin care effect, it is only a supplement to daily skin care and can never replace daily skin care. In fact, after applying the mask, you must remember a series of daily skin care steps such as rubbing essence and lotion to make the mask work better ~
9. Is the effect of applying the mask doubled when taking a shower?
No, wearing a mask in the shower sounds comfortable. In fact, the water vapor in the bathroom will only dilute the essence of the mask, and even get into the mask paper to make the integrated mask "slide". In the end, it didn't achieve the skin care effect, but it was drier.
10. The higher the SPF, the more effective it is.
Finally, talk about sun protection. Cleanliness and sun protection can be said to be important prerequisites for skin care. It is no exaggeration to say that you are 5 years old without sunscreen. But when choosing sunscreen products, we should not only look at the sunscreen index, but also look at its moisture. When you walk outdoors on a sunny day, you must remember to apply it every two hours, otherwise many sunscreen products will be useless, okay?
The most common skin care misunderstanding, you got caught.
First, wipe your face with a towel.
Many fairies wipe their faces with towels after washing them. Did you get caught? Towels will rub the face skin, and the accumulated friction will make the skin lose its elasticity. Especially wiping your eyes with a towel is more likely to damage the skin around your eyes, so the bad habit of wiping your face with a towel must be changed. You can use a wet towel to wring out water to absorb excess water on your face.
Second, do not wash your hands before washing your face or skin care.
Unexpectedly! This is a mistake that all girls basically make! ! ! Bacteria are invisible, and many fairies don't know how many bacteria they have on their hands. Then we must wash our hands before skin care or washing our face, otherwise the bacteria on our hands will transfer to your skin. This is one of the causes of acne or skin inflammation.
Third, wait until wrinkles appear before using anti-wrinkle products.
Fairies at a certain age must start using anti-wrinkle products. Never wait for fine lines in the corner of your eyes to start using eye cream. It's really too late. You should start using anti-wrinkle products in your twenties, which is the best time. Don't play with your youth!
Fourth, you don't have sun protection every day.
In fact, we are exposed to ultraviolet rays every day, even in winter, so we should do isolation and sun protection all year round. Pay attention to sun protection when going out in winter.
5. Pinch your nose and blackheads with your hands.
I believe many fairies have done such a wrong thing! Even I sometimes pinch my nose with my hand, but it really hurts the skin of our nose. Pressing hard will damage the cells of our nose, make the pores thicker and more likely to cause red blood.
