★ Hydrate first and then moisturize.
Hydrating and moisturizing are sisters and are often confused. Actually, they are two different beauty concepts. The former transports water to skin cells; The latter can prevent water loss on the skin surface and form a moisturizing film on the outside.
Just replenish water, but without the step of "locking water", the skin will become dry and tight. Therefore, after using lotion, hydrating essence or facial mask, please apply lotion or cream with the functions of "catching water" and "locking water" in time, input nutrition and lock water, so that the skin can really achieve the effect of hydrating. Usually, applying moisturizing cream to slightly moist skin can lock up facial moisture more effectively and make the skin softer.
★ No shortage of oil ≠ No shortage of water
Women with oily skin will feel much better in winter, but don't think that oily skin is neither tight nor wrinkled, or it is saturated. Of course, dry skin needs vigorous hydration, oily skin also needs moisturizing, and high-quality skin is water-oil balance. Once the skin is short of water, it will secrete more oil. So much oil does not mean that the water content is high enough, but sometimes the skin sends a signal that it needs water. When choosing moisturizing products for oily skin, emulsion or gel products containing refreshing ingredients are the best.
★ Let the skin drink water directly.
Unfortunately, our body is not a huge sponge, otherwise the water we drink can be quickly distributed to all organs of the body! Maybe you think that drinking more water can improve the moisture content and moisture retention of the skin. But drinking water and moisturizing can't be equated-the human body is a very precise structure, and excess water will be automatically discharged. Therefore, it is not that the more water you drink, the higher the water content of your skin will be. But drinking more water is always not a bad thing.
Can bathing bring more moisture to the whole body skin? Of course it will! But it can only solve the superficial problem temporarily, and the sharbat cells in the skin are still thirsty. Therefore, using hydrating and moisturizing products immediately after bathing is a solution to directly drink water for the skin.
★ Sunscreen can moisturize more.
Although the sun is not as wild as summer, "SPF" is still the key word for skin care. When keratinocytes grow in a healthy state, they will release good natural moisturizing factors and make the natural moisturizing mechanism of skin work smoothly. Ultraviolet rays are not only the inducement of melanin production, but also the hostile force in the process of water circulation. Sun protection this season need not be as tense as it was a few months ago, but it must not be ignored. SPF8 has enough sun protection value. Choosing a moisturizing sunscreen will make your skin not too dry.
★ Toner is indispensable.
For convenience, you should never apply cream immediately after cleansing, and skip the step of hydrating. Toner can not only replenish skin moisture instantly, but also make it easier for skin to absorb moisturizing products used later. Sticking the lotion on your hands and slapping it on your face will make the water and nutrients in it lose. The correct way is to dip a cotton pad in lotion (about two-thirds of the wet cotton pad) and gently rub it on your face so that water and nutrients can be completely absorbed by your skin.
★ Mask is indispensable.
Any water-containing substance that stays on the skin for a long time will produce a tender and smooth touch, but the effect is short-lived, which is why we insist on moisturizing every day. Apply moisturizing mask 1~2 times a week, which can bring rebirth and moisture to the skin. The key point of moisturizing mask is that its ingredients contain "moisturizing" effect, which can really increase the moisture content of skin and rejuvenate tired skin.
Be sure to get rid of the habit of tidying up cosmetics, manicure, or strolling around the house while dressing. This may not only scare the roommates who accidentally see your "respect", but also affect the maintenance effect. When enjoying the mask, let yourself lie flat, relax your nerves and let your skin absorb nutrients more smoothly (especially when using cotton mask). Unless otherwise specified, you still need to do a good job of "locking water" after applying your face, and apply moisturizing lotion or cream to truly achieve moisturizing effect.
★ Eye moisturizing tips
"watery" eyes can convey feelings best, but it is the most difficult to keep the moisture content of these two "windows" Eye skin lacks the protection of sebaceous glands, and water is more easily lost than other parts of the skin; In winter, the temperature and humidity decrease, and water loss becomes the primary problem. In addition to focusing on eye moisturizing, you can also choose nourishing products with additional functions according to personal problems. The use of blindfolds can alleviate the phenomenon of "shark bait". In order to avoid the dryness of other parts of the face, you can avoid the eyes while applying the eye mask and apply the whole face with a water-washed moisturizing mask.
