These are the misunderstandings about skin care (misunderstandings about blind skin care)

1. Applying a facial mask every day will have a better hydrating effect. Facial masks can supply moisture to the skin in a short period of time, but frequent application of facial masks will over-hydrate the skin, causing the hair follicles and sebum ducts to absorb excessive water and swell, which is not conducive to subsequent maintenance, but can easily cause skin sensitivity. It's like if you raise a pot of flowers, it's fine if you water it occasionally, but if you water it every day, it will drown.

2. There is no need to wash your face after applying the mask. The instructions for many facial masks will say, "You don't need to wash it off after applying it. You can massage and absorb the excess mask essence on your face and then directly perform follow-up care." However, you don't know that the excess essence remaining on your face will not be absorbed by your skin. Sticky skin can easily absorb dust and bacteria, and more importantly, it can cause clogged pores, acne, etc.

3. There is no need for sun protection in autumn and winter. Focus on the blackboard! If you don’t want your skin to accelerate darkening, aging and the formation of spots, then sun protection is something you need to do all year round. Among all the external factors that can cause skin aging, ultraviolet rays are the most powerful. Autumn and winter are just relatively less sunny days, and sunlight does not equal ultraviolet rays. Proper sun protection will slow down skin aging, and the traces of time will not destroy your skin so quickly.

4. Oily skin does not need to be hydrated. Although oily skin has a better barrier due to strong oil secretion and the moisture locked by the skin is not easily lost, it does not mean that oily skin does not need to be hydrated. Many oily skin types are oily on the outside and dry on the inside. Therefore, while controlling oil well, you should also pay attention to proper hydration.

5. The more expensive the skin care products, the better. First, distinguish your own skin care and choose suitable skin care products according to your skin type. It does make sense that you get what you pay for, but it is not recommended to blindly pursue expensive skin care products. Just choose the right one, not necessarily the expensive one.

6. Blindly follow the trend. Many skin care products look like honey to one person or arsenic to another person. What is suitable for others may not be suitable for you, so it is particularly important to choose skin care products that suit you based on skin care. Regardless of skin type, if you don’t understand your own skin condition and follow the trend, you may turn your normal skin into sensitive skin.

7. Exfoliate frequently. You don’t need to exfoliate too frequently. Frequent exfoliation will destroy the protective layer of the skin. When the skin barrier becomes thinner and thinner, redness and other sensitive conditions will come back to the door. Under normal circumstances, exfoliation once every two or three weeks is enough.

8. Washing your face with hot water is good for your skin. Although washing your face with hot water can expand our pores and wash your face more thoroughly, our skin needs some oil to protect it. Frequently washing your face with hot water will destroy the natural protective layer of the skin, and the skin's moisture will be lost quickly, making the skin dry and tight. The skin will easily become tight and will over-stimulate blood vessels. As time goes by, your skin will become more sensitive and the skin will become thinner. It will be easier to loosen, so it is better to wash your face with water of moderate temperature.

9. Avoid products containing alcohol. Many people buy skin care products and immediately abandon them because they hear they contain alcohol. This is actually quite funny, because talking about the harm without considering the dosage is just a hooliganism. In many skin care products, the presence of alcohol is indispensable. It is a common solvent that can neutralize many formulas. Alcohol can promote skin penetration. Adding it to skin care products can make skin care products better absorbed. Absorbed through skin. The addition of alcohol to skin care products can refresh and reduce greasiness to a certain extent. It can also play a very good role in sterilizing and inhibiting oil. Therefore, alcohol is often added to many skin care products that are popular with oily skin. Of course, alcohol is not without its disadvantages. It can cause irritation to some extent. When choosing skin care products for sensitive skin, be careful if the alcohol content in the ingredients is high. Don’t worry too much if the alcohol content is very low or the alcohol content is very low. .
