A misunderstanding of skin whitening
1. completely remove melanin from the bottom of skin.
Diagnosis: The dark forces accumulated in the stratum corneum will affect the whitening effect.
Error correction: To be "bright and transparent", it is not enough to only inhibit the productivity of melanocytes! Because some melanin, which is rapidly generated under the stimulation of a large amount of ultraviolet rays, can not be metabolized and excreted by the skin smoothly, it will form "black forces" in the stratum corneum of the epidermis. The latest research found that the combination of exfoliation or skin rejuvenation containing acidic compounds should be used to remove old and discarded epidermal substances, and the selection of whitening series makeup remover and facial cleanser also has the step of gently "blackening" the skin every day.
2. Apply the mask to every drop every day.
Diagnosis: Twice a week, each time 10 minute is enough.
Error correction: a simple and convenient mask like instant noodles can provide short-term quick-acting whitening. Although it concentrates the essence of maintenance like chicken soup, because the appetite of the skin is limited, it is enough to use it twice a week for salon-level skin care, and the time is limited to 10~ 15 minutes. If the application time is too long, the skin moisture will evaporate and dry.
3. Piles of whitening products have no sunscreen.
Diagnosis: Sunlight is the culprit that causes your whitening to be ineffective. Antioxidants and sunscreen should go hand in hand.
Error correction: The whitening skin care product I bought seems to be quite effective at the beginning, but it seems to turn black later. According to the dermatologist's analysis, the biggest possibility is that I just try my best to whiten, but the sun protection is very casual. My skin is constantly stimulated by sunlight and ultraviolet rays, and of course all my efforts are in vain.
4. The higher the concentration, the better the whitening effect.
Diagnosis: the transmission system affects whether the formula can play a deep role and play an effective role.
Error correction: Pursue high concentration blindly. If it can't be absorbed by the skin, the effect will be discounted, and you have to face possible irritation and injury. I have used whitening skin care products, but the effect is not good. The new trend is to wrap the formula with a carrier similar to the cell structure, and the appropriate concentration is easily accepted by the skin and plays a deep role.
5. Full face whitening products can remove spots.
Diagnosis: Deep and dense spots, you have to use more powerful special products to dilute the spots.
Error correction: most general whitening skin care products are designed to inhibit the distribution of melanin in the whole face; But spots are made up of several melanocytes, which need to be improved by redoubling efforts. High concentration formula plus exfoliating effect can only be effective if the design is small, convenient and accurate.
6. Don't miss whitening fresh goods.
Diagnosis: Make a clever strategy to deal with melanin, focusing on the effectiveness of matching with the same series.
Correction: Dermatologists say that people who often bring a bunch of skin care products to their homes don't know what they should use. Another trend of whitening advertisements nowadays is to call for "the most effective way to cut off melanin production". Action-oriented purchase only hurts the purse, and it is unknown whether the G-8 will cause anti-sensitive stimulation. It is suggested to read more media reports first, so as to know clearly whether the way required by the brand to deal with melanin meets the needs of the self. Remember, every path to intercept melanin has its own advantages. Whoever is closest to the core of the problem or corresponds to your skin condition must be screened and considered. It is definitely not feasible. If you want to buy other products besides the main essence, such as lotions, creams, masks and lotions, the same series is the most economical combination.
7. I still feel not white enough after using whitening essence.
Diagnosis: It is more important to maintain mature or damaged dry skin at night.
Error correction: Generally, a can of whitening essence and lotion is enough to meet the needs of day and night maintenance, but if it continues to be ineffective, it may be necessary to consider whether the skin needs more types of conditioning. Although the ultimate goal is whitening, it is necessary to strengthen moisturizing and anti-oxidation when going out during the day. As for the lack of sunshine stimulation at night, you can use your body to rest, use restorative whitening products with higher concentration and stronger moisturizing feeling, or remove melanin accumulated during the day. If the budget allows, use more night whitening products, and the multi-pronged effect will be better.
2. The correct steps of skin whitening
Step 1: remove makeup completely
Don't think that you need to remove makeup only after wearing heavy makeup. In fact, sunscreen and sunscreen also need to be removed by special makeup remover, and the attachment of urban pollutants in pores is easier to be removed by makeup remover. You can choose products according to skin quality and makeup depth.
Step 2: Clean gently.
When cleaning the face, carefully clean the T area, chin, cheeks and corners of the eyes, or use tools such as facial cleanser. The total washing time should not be too long (1 min or more) to avoid the skin being too dry. At the same time, pay attention to the cleansing products to be washed with water to ensure no residue. More importantly, no matter how clean it is, the first premise is gentleness to avoid excessive pulling on the skin.
Step 3: Conditioning the skin
The traditional function of toner is nothing more than secondary cleaning and simple moisturizing. But for women who pursue white porcelain muscle, a high-performance water can add points to whitening. High-performance water is equivalent to a bottle of clear essence, which not only plays the role of toner, but also adds meals to the skin. A good bottle of high-performance water can not only increase the water content on the skin surface, but also gently regulate the keratin, so that the skin can eat whitening ingredients and play a multi-effect role. Due to. There are many effective components in high-performance water. We recommend pouring high-performance water directly into the palm of your hand, and then patting your face with your hand, which not only promotes the absorption of ingredients, but also stimulates the microcirculation on the skin surface.
Step 4: Eye care
Eye skin is only one-tenth as thick as other parts of the human body, plus blinking N times a day, which makes eye skin destined to be more fragile and delicate than other parts. Staying up late, overusing eyes, improper makeup removal and poor blood circulation may all lead to the formation and aggravation of dark circles. Therefore, eye products should be mild and non-irritating first. While taking into account the desalination of dark circles, we should also take into account the characteristics that fat particles are easy to appear around the eyes. Whether it is eye cream or eye cream, you should follow the principle of gentleness, and gently pat the product on the skin around your eyes with your ring finger like playing the piano until it is absorbed. When using eye products, you can massage around the eyes by the way to help blood circulation.
Step 5: Concentrate the essence.
The essence of essence is that it concentrates active ingredients and active substances, which is often the key to the success of China white skin. Essence is usually used after toner or high-performance water and before emulsion cream. The amount of essence with whitening effect is about two soybeans at a time (or a dropper with a dropper bottle). After evenly spreading on the whole face, add a little more to the parts that are prone to dullness or spots (such as T area and cheekbones) and gently massage. Finally, knead the palms of your hands and gently cover your face for 30 seconds to promote the absorption of essence.
Step 6: Comprehensive nursing
In the previous cleansing step, high-performance water, essence and whitening ingredients are emphasized, so the more important purpose of this latter step is to tightly wrap the effective ingredients in front of the skin, and at the same time supplement the omissions in hydrating and moisturizing in the previous step, so that the skin is not only white, but also white, tender and translucent, which is a thorough whitening. At this time, according to your skin condition and preferences, choose whitening lotion/hydrating cream/cream with different textures.
Sun protection during the day
There is a saying: "Don't do sunscreen, do whitening for nothing" is not shocking at all. Ultraviolet rays in sunlight and other light sources not only affect skin tanning, but also have a great direct impact on aging. When choosing sunscreen products, you can choose sunscreen products by judging their ultraviolet protection ability. The algorithm used by Japanese and American brands is the sun protection factor (SPF), while in European countries dominated by France, it is expressed by "IP". There is also PFA or PA, which is an objective evaluation of the protective effect of sunscreen cosmetics on UVA (sunscreen black).
Step 8: Regular intensive care
Regular facial mask care is an indispensable part of whitening. The principle of the mask is to cover the face for a short time, temporarily isolate the outside air and pollution, raise the skin temperature, expand the skin pores, promote the secretion and metabolism of sweat glands, increase the oxygen content of the skin, and help the skin to eliminate the products of epidermal cell metabolism and accumulated grease substances. The effective components in the whitening mask penetrate into the cuticle of epidermis, making skin soft, natural, white, bright and elastic. Whitening mask is generally wet tissue type.
