Because there are too many problems with whitening masks, especially after the exposure of fluorescent agents, people become cautious and vigilant about whitening products. The relatively safe hydrating mask has attracted more attention.
So how do we choose the hydrating membrane? What kind of hydrating mask is better?
Many people will consult many people and even shopping guides before using the mask, hoping that the other party can give them a satisfactory answer. However, the mask with good effect used by others may not be suitable for you, so some people often feel that the advice given by the other party is not good. Shopping guides often provide inappropriate recommendations to consultants for commission and performance. This makes many consumers have doubts about various hydrating masks. Is the hydrating mask really effective? Liar ~, why can't I get better after using it?
In fact, when consulting others, many people generally only ask, "Do you know what brand of mask is good?" , or "What mask works?" "Your skin is good. What mask do you use? " This kind of question, the other party can only give his own answer in the direction of this question. Then this answer is too subjective and may not be suitable for the questioner's skin, so there is a contradiction.
If you want to consult this question, you might as well know your skin first.
At present, really neutral good skin is rare and almost broken. The reasons are simple: diet, work pressure, environmental deterioration, intake of various hormone products and so on. Human skin is becoming more and more polarized. It's either oil or dry. Moreover, at present, dry skin is often accompanied by sensitivity. This situation is mostly caused by indiscriminate use of cosmetics, long-term painting of make-up, or improper use of skin care products and excessive use of skin care products.
However, whether it is dry skin or oily skin, it needs hydration!
Some consumers with oily skin think that oily skin does not need hydration. Because there are no wrinkles, no dry shavings and no peeling, there should be no need to replenish water. However, such consumers often ignore the problems of large pores, blackheads, bald heads and excessive oil secretion, which are also caused by lack of water.
Lack of water will not only cause wrinkles, desquamation, dryness and itching. Because the skin is short of water, the texture can't be abundant under the condition of water shortage, which leads to the collapse of skin cells and tissues, wrinkles, dry skin around pores and slightly larger pores. Coupled with the lack of water, the skin can't get enough water, so the skin's instinctive skin care system is started, and a large amount of oil is secreted to fill it, thus the phenomenon of oily face appears. If the pores are thick and the oil is secreted too much, it is easy to produce blackheads!
Therefore, just because the skin is shiny doesn't mean that it doesn't need hydration. On the contrary, water-oil balance will curb these problems!
The relative concept of hydrating dry skin is easy to understand. When the skin is short of water, the cells will dry up, collapse and form wrinkles. Because the stratum corneum is thin, its water-locking ability is poor, and it can't get enough water supplement, so it will fall off prematurely and frequently. The more this phenomenon, the thinner the keratin, the more sensitive it is.
Lack of water will not only cause the above skin problems, but also be accompanied by dark yellow and uneven skin color.
Therefore, hydrating is an indispensable part of the skin care plan now!
After analyzing our skin, we have a direction for how to choose a hydrating mask.
Before using hydrating mask for oily skin, it is best to remove your oil and blackheads first. It doesn't mean that all the oil will be removed, which will damage the skin. Using amino acid cleanser is the most suitable zero-harm cleansing product at present. It can clean the skin without destroying the stratum corneum. Low foam is non-irritating and easy to rinse.
Then clean pores and blackheads. The pores are blocked by blackheads and cannot absorb hydrating ingredients. Hyaluronic acid (HA) enters the basal layer through sweat glands and pores to replenish water. If the pores are not clear, there is no hydration. Similarly, if the face is covered with grease, it is like forming a barrier film on the face, and the hydrating ingredients cannot enter the skin.
Therefore, oily skin must be cleaned up with acne needle and sea mud anti-allergy cleaning and detoxification mask before hydrating. If possible, steam your face with a steamer within one month before using the mask, so that the pores can be fully opened, and the effect is better.
After deeply cleaning the face, use a hydrating mask for 20-30 minutes. Use it once every two to three days for about a week, and you can see the improvement effect.
Note: oily skin should be hydrated, and it is not necessary to apply moisturizing products (cream, lotion) in summer to maintain the hydrating effect. This will increase the amount of oil, which is not good for the skin. In winter, you can properly moisturize according to your own feelings. Because the oil secreted by oily skin itself is a natural water lock layer.
When choosing a mask for oily skin, it should be noted that the ingredients should contain as little oil as possible, and the texture of the mask should not be cream. The best is a refreshing gel, crystal clear, transparent and translucent.
The choice of hydrating mask for dry skin is best according to the characteristics of your own skin. Especially dry and sensitive skin. Naturally, you should choose a non-irritating and hormone-free hydrating mask.
The function of hydrating mask should be as simple as possible. Don't expect the mask to replenish water, whiten, remove spots, shrink pores, moisturize and so on. This is impossible!
Simple function and composition. The compatibility of relative components is also a science major. There can be no conflict reaction between components, so it is also safe. No fluorescent agent will be added to show the whitening effect, nor will lead and mercury be added to show the freckle removing effect. The more complex and multifunctional it is, the more difficult it is to achieve. There is no panacea for all diseases in the world So it is easy to add some prohibited ingredients.
Therefore, it is the most scientific to use specialized pure skin care products.
The most important thing is that simple functions can play the greatest role!
The use of the mask, those who are seriously short of water, should use the hydrating mask every other day, and use it at this frequency for about a week. If there is improvement, it should be changed to once every two or three days.
Note: the hydrating effect of dry skin needs the maintenance of moisturizing cream. Because its keratin is very thin, oil secretion is not much, and its natural water-locking ability is biased. Need external force to help moisturize. Summer is more suitable for rice-shaped moisturizing cream, and winter will be replaced by paste-like moisturizing cream.
The hydrating mask is also much simpler than whitening and anti-aging.
There is only one ingredient that can replenish water-hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid has a wide range of uses, besides skin care products, it is also used for cosmetic surgery. It is a safe and effective beauty weapon! Hyaluronic acid carries 500 times more water than itself, so it is a hydrating artifact.
Hyaluronic acid is divided into large, medium and small molecular weights, and the effect of each molecular weight hyaluronic acid is different.
Macromolecules (molecular weight range 1, 800,000 ~ 2,200,000 daltons) can form a breathable film on the skin surface, which can block the invasion of foreign bacteria, dust and ultraviolet rays.
Medium molecular weight (molecular weight range 100000 ~ 1 800000 dalton) can form water lock wall and reduce water loss;
Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (molecular weight is between 400,000 and 65,438+0,000,000 daltons) can directly penetrate into the dermis and directly act on the basal layer, which has the functions of increasing blood circulation and promoting skin to absorb nutrients, and has strong anti-wrinkle function and skin elasticity.
However, hyaluronic acid with only one molecular weight is difficult to support a hydrating chain, so to measure the quality of a hydrating mask depends on whether it contains these three kinds of hyaluronic acid with different molecular weights, that is, 3D hyaluronic acid.
Similarly, if it is a 3D hyaluronic acid hydrating mask, it is the ultimate hydrating mask.
3D hyaluronic acid hydrating mask is called the infinite water dispenser for skin. The effect is not ordinary hydrating mask at all!
Many people like to use sleep mask, which is considered as skin care, especially for users with dry skin.
However, it has also been found that after frequent use of sleep mask, the skin will appear bald and the pores will appear bulky. This reason is that after the sleep mask is applied to the face for the night, the pores can't breathe smoothly at night, the pores are blocked, and their own oil is constantly secreted. This leads to an increase in oil output, large pores, blackheads, hoary heads and even acne.
Although it takes a long time to moisturize the sleep mask, the really good mask is not determined by the length of use. But the quality of ingredients and scientific compatibility. In contrast, the sleep mask is used for a long time, and the pores are not breathing well, causing a burden on the skin. Moreover, it is not clean outside the real effective absorption time, and the face has been in a slippery and greasy state. Therefore, it is easier to breed bacteria and produce acne.
Therefore, it is best to wash off the mask outside the effective absorption time.
What is the effective absorption time of hydrating mask?
Generally speaking, after cleansing, it takes about 20-30 minutes to apply a hydrating mask, which is the best mask absorption time. It is best to massage several times in the middle to let the skin absorb more small molecules of hyaluronic acid. Because the ingredients of every skin care product must form a chain of action. For the hydrating mask, the molecular weights of large, medium and small hyaluronic acid are even different, and the molecular arrangement is irregular. Macromolecules naturally hinder small molecules. Therefore, more massage will make the molecules move, and natural small molecules will absorb more.
The ingredients that the skin can absorb every day are limited, and no amount can be absorbed. Instead, it becomes a burden, just like a person's overnutrition. Therefore, the hydrating mask can be used in the best effective absorption time.
