Many women use expensive skin care products. Are skin care products really useful? What do you think?

Of course it works, especially for women.

Due to natural physiological reasons, men often do not need to take care of their skin to keep their skin in good condition.

Because men’s sebum secretion is more intense than that of women (androgens promote the secretion of sebaceous glands), it is well known that sebum is the skin’s natural “moisturizer”. Women also lose collagen more easily than men. On the face, wrinkles are more likely to appear. Men can't understand women's table full of bottles and jars because they don't know how much effort a woman puts into a face.

Many people think that skin care products are useless, but this is actually caused by wrong concepts of skin care. I don’t know enough about my skin and choose inappropriate skin care products. For example, some little fairies are oily on the outside and dry on the inside, but they still replenish water and oil. Or some sisters think that expensive ones must be better, and spend a lot of money to buy big-name skin care products, but are disappointed after using them on their faces.

What are the uses of skin care products? The fairy sister always believes that skin care is a lifelong matter for a woman, and long-term persistence will definitely lead to a younger self. The biggest role of skin care products is to meet our various skin care needs.

Here, the fairy sister summarizes the five basic skin care needs and briefly introduces how to choose suitable skin care products

1. Cleaning. Of course, cleaning is a must for everyone (nonsense, doesn’t anyone not wash their face?), but there are also a lot of things to pay attention to when doing it well. For example: Compared with soap-based cleansers, amino acid cleansers are less cleansing, but much more gentle, so they are more suitable for most people's skin types. Another example: Many people wash their face for too long, use too much force, or apply cleanser directly to their face, which leads to the risk of over-cleansing.

2. Moisturizing. Moisturizing ingredients are mainly divided into three types according to different methods: moisturizing, sealing and water-absorbing.

The so-called moisturizing refers to oily ingredients that nourish and moisturize the skin. Various vegetable oils and animal fat ingredients are most commonly used in current skin care products;

And sealing is in The surface of our skin forms a relatively closed environment, thereby preventing water from evaporating. They will only form an "oil film" on the surface of the skin. Because of its high inertness, it not only will not be absorbed by the skin but also provides a good recovery environment for damaged skin;

Water absorption is the most commonly used skin care product, which can also be understood from the name. As we know, they achieve the purpose of moisturizing by absorbing the external environment or locking their own moisture.

The type of moisturizing product you choose to contain depends on your skin type. Generally speaking, all three types are suitable for dry skin, while for oily skin, it is best not to choose the occlusive type, or even to moisturize specifically.

3. Sun protection. Ultraviolet rays in the sun can be said to be the "number one killer" that damages our skin. In addition to cleansing, sun protection is also a must for skin care (you said you use an umbrella, but I didn't say that). SPF and PA are familiar to everyone. Pay attention to two points in daily use: choose the appropriate SPF and apply enough amount.

4. Whitening. The mechanism of whitening is very simple, which is to reduce melanin in the skin. The whitening products on the market basically focus on the two aspects of melanin formation and transportation. However, whitening cannot change the original skin color, which means that it can only restore the original whiteness of the skin (the skin color of the inner thighs).

5. Anti-aging. The ingredients added to anti-aging skin care products are mainly various types of peptides. The essence of peptides is amino acid groups, which are believed to have the effect of smoothing wrinkles by affecting the skin's nervous system. In addition, vitamins A and C are often used as antioxidants, promote the production of collagen, and improve photoaging. This type of product has one thing in common. The cost of raw materials is not high. If you want to plan ahead and anti-aging in advance, let’s not talk about whether it is effective or not. You don’t need to spend too much money (lamer who can use it casually, please ignore this) part).

In addition to the above five types, there are many other skin care needs, such as anti-oxidation, anti-acne, and repair of sensitive skin. You must choose the relevant skin care products based on a full understanding of the causes of skin problems. Corresponding skin care products. For some skin problems, such as eye bags, dark circles, skin inflammation, hypertrophic acne scars, etc., skin care products cannot help. If you encounter these problems, do not believe the exaggerated propaganda of some skin care products, and please seek medical treatment in time.

Expensive things always bring a lot of admiration to people, especially when it comes to luxury goods, it immediately makes many people feel like a status symbol. I myself am not exempt from vulgarity, and I have also worshiped very expensive things.

It was not until later that I got in-depth contact with marketing that I understood a very profound truth: many things are not sold expensively because they are good, but because they have decided to make a very expensive product first. Very expensive brands are sold exclusively to those customer groups who are "not short of money", and then they look back and think about how the product should be designed.

In other words, the price is decided first, and then the other way around is to consider how to make the product appear to be worth the price. This is the case in modern marketing.

Of course, this can easily give people the illusion that even if they are expensive because they are expensive, those very expensive products should have a more reliable guarantee of quality and service because they have higher profit margins. ? If this is the case, there is nothing wrong with choosing expensive ones for wealthy people who are "not short of money". But the problem is far from that simple.

I was on the street and saw a shoe polish for 1 yuan, so I just polished my shoes. Unexpectedly, I wiped one of them, and I saw that it was a little too confusing, so I protested. The other party smiled and said: "Boss, it's only 1 yuan."

I asked him: "I'll give you 2 yuan, can you wipe it properly?" The other party immediately got excited: "I'll give you two yuan. I just wipe it like this!” I couldn’t help but ask: “What if I give you three yuan?” The other person said, “I just wipe it like that for three yuan!” You pay 10 yuan, how do you wipe it?" The other party was immediately confused: "The boss is really good at making jokes, how can you wipe it with 10 yuan!" That's right, if you give me 10 yuan, the other party can't wipe it anymore.

Through this short story, I want to illustrate a truth. The spatial change of cost is meaningful within a certain range, but beyond a certain range, it is meaningless and can only be messed up. .

In another field, such examples abound. You brush your teeth every day, but do you know how to choose? What did you pick?

In fact, everyone doesn’t know how to judge the quality of shampoo, right? I don’t know how to identify the quality of skin care products, even the simplest facial cleanser and toner, even if I bring over experts from beauty channels, salespersons from big-name counters, and senior beauty instructors in the beauty professional line, I may not be able to tell. clear.

However, there are still many people who are obsessed with some big brands and have no idea whether the products are good or bad. I can't blame the customers. It's the same for me in a field I'm not familiar with.

Of course, this is not the most terrifying thing. What is really scary is that consumers do not have relevant professional knowledge and can only rely on intuitive experience. Consumer experience and professional evaluation standards are often different or even contradictory. Nowadays, more and more goddesses are obsessed with the feeling of being gods. If you want to sell your products well, you can’t stick to professionalism. You must cater to consumers!

Therefore, the survival of the fittest in the market has forced many brands to change. If you stick to your profession, you will starve to death. No matter how ignorant the consumers are, you have to cater to them. I bluntly say that every so-called big brand is a product that caters to consumers.

In the late 1980s, before the American company Procter & Gamble entered the Chinese market, surveys and studies found that Chinese consumers were concerned about bubbles. Has an incredible feeling. Until now, when many goddesses think of taking a hot bath, they also think of filling the bathtub with foam and sprinkling some rose petals, right? In the end, Procter & Gamble didn't figure out why Chinese people like foam. Anyway, when selling Chinese shampoo, washing powder, toothpaste, and soap, they all have greatly increased the proportion of foaming agents... Although every professional knows that this is Not good for the skin.

In order to cater to consumers, watermelons are added with red pigments and cyclamates, kiwis are added with expanding agents, rice is polished, and ginger is fumigated with sulfur and washed with potion. Do you believe it?

The so-called homogenization of products and differentiation of marketing means: everyone produces the same things, and there is basically nothing coming and going. The rest is left to marketers to make up stories and make gimmicks. If you want to be a big name, you have to be like this.

In the imagination of many consumers, such a big international brand must have many patented technologies and many unique secret recipes. How could it be like what you said? There are so many experts in the R&D center,

Then you might as well imagine, if Lanc?me really comes out with a new technology and it sells very well, how difficult would it be for other brands to copy it? Don’t forget, most of these international brands in the Chinese market are outsourced processing, with the brands providing formulas and being produced by Chinese manufacturers. How difficult do you think it is to obtain its formula?

In fact, the brand not only has no secret formula, but also ensures that no matter which factory or group of engineers is replaced, it can produce products with almost no difference in quality. If no one else can make this product except this master, how can we make a big market? If one day the master falls out, will the brand still survive?

So La Mer has a joke about adding two carats of diamond powder to each exfoliating cream.

Lanc?me’s little black bottle has a joke about repairing your genes. Anyone who knows something about cytology knows that if skin care products can repair genes, they will definitely cause cancer.

Estee Lauder’s small brown bottle can use different ingredients to repair the skin in the morning and evening according to the biological clock. It is a completely impossible technology, but big brands are convinced that consumers are ignorant and full of admiration.

For examples like this, I casually browsed Baidu, and everything I saw was glacier water, Dead Sea mud, cod essence, snail mask, horse oil, and I could just make up any story.

However, if the customer is God, all this is an inevitable result.

First answer this question, it’s useful! ! !

To describe it in more popular terms, most fairies should know about cured meat. From fresh meat to black and shriveled cured meat, this process is like the skin becomes thinner without skin care. It will look like this.

Skin must be taken care of. As for whether to use expensive or other skin care products, it actually depends on your own skin type. Just like the skin care products that everyone uses are expensive and easy to use, you can use them. It is useless even if you feel uncomfortable, allergic, etc., so you need to grasp this by yourself~

Of course, when choosing skin care products, you can choose within the price range you can afford.

In short, if you don’t use skin care products, you will age prematurely due to ultraviolet rays and other factors! ! !

Skin care products are only one of the many factors that affect skin. People’s skin is determined innately and can be adjusted the day after tomorrow. There may be people who drink and stay up late every day and their skin is still white and smooth. There are also people who have a regular daily schedule and a light diet and have acne. People who are constantly taking risks exist.

However, both of the above are low probabilities, very rare

Or you can compare with celebrities and look at other people's and your own (I just want to describe it, don't criticize if you don't like it, thank you) Little cuties)

But if you don’t pay attention to skin care, the moisture in your skin will be like salted meat, and the moisture will be squeezed out by the wind and sun. Little fairies can make up for it by themselves~ (This is not professional. , the fairies made do with it, and the meaning was made clear, hehe)

I think it is really useful. I am almost 30 years old, and I have never bought expensive skin care products. Before last year, it cost 400 yuan. I don’t have any of the single products. I just bought a set of Lanc?me’s Water Fate series this year, as well as the Lanc?me small black bottle. It feels really good to use. My face doesn’t feel sticky or greasy after using it. I feel that the small black bottle is also very easy to use. , I have combination skin, and the small black bottle and pink water are really good for me, and after using a slightly better one, I may buy more expensive skin care products in the future

It should be of some use Well, there is still a difference between not using skin care products and using skin care products. It’s not about choosing expensive ones but choosing the right ones!

Of course it is useful. For example, like me, my skin is oily. Before using skin care products, my face was covered with oil. After using skin care products, my skin is not so oily. After adding With internal and external conditioning, your skin is now moist and shiny, so skin care products are useful. As long as you choose skin care products that are suitable for your skin, you will have obvious effects. Let me share with you the skin care products I use.

Of course it works!

Useful for sure. In the movies and TV series we watch, the characters in them are beautiful and radiant, all due to the magical effects of cosmetics. However, excessive use of cosmetics will clog pores and affect facial metabolism. If it is not particularly necessary, it is better to use some natural skin care products with no additives and no toxic side effects. At least they will not damage the normal physiological functions of your skin.

The answer is useful. If you use the right product, it will really reverse your aging process. Don’t look at advertisements to see the efficacy!

Prove that you are a rich man, care about face, and the domestic cosmetics are also very good
