1. Skin care

Skin care is the most basic and critical part. Basic maintenance includes a trilogy of cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection, which is also the daily facial care routine for most people.

Under normal circumstances, clean your face once or twice a day. Excessive cleansing of the skin will wash away the protective film of facial oil, but it will stimulate the sebaceous glands to secrete more oil, which will make the pores larger and the skin more and more sensitive.

For people with sensitive skin, you should avoid using cleansing creams containing scrub or fruit acid ingredients, which will weaken the stratum corneum and lead to a vicious circle. Moisturizing should be limited, although toners, lotions, and moisturizing masks can add moisture to the skin. But it is not as much as possible. Excessive hydration (for example, applying a mask for more than 20 minutes) will swell the stratum corneum, which will affect its function and make the skin fragile in the long run.

2. Whitening

As the saying goes, one white covers one hundred ugliness, which is why many beauty lovers are obsessed with whitening. But if you do not keep your eyes open and choose a whitening product of substandard quality, there is a real risk of disfigurement.

Many drugs have the effect of whitening and removing spots, such as hydroquinone, arbutin, vitamin C, vitamin E and so on.

Ordinary skin care products also contain such ingredients, but the concentration is low, so the effect is slow and not obvious. Medical skin care products have higher concentrations, but they need to be used under the guidance of a doctor.

The whitening masks produced by some informal businesses actually contain prohibited ingredients, such as mercury and fluorescent agents. If you use heavy metals and fluorescent products that are difficult to metabolize, although you get a momentary brilliance, the consequences are disastrous.

3. Hormone products are harmful

The mask, which claims that only one piece of skin can make the skin ten years younger, was once all the rage, popular in the circle of friends, made a group of people rich, and hurt a group of people. The essence of this type of mask is a hormone mask. Long-term use will cause addiction and cause facial hormone-dependent dermatitis. Once stopped, it will be different. This is not a small number of patients in the dermatology department. For skin care products that are too effective, we must keep our eyes open and not be fooled by bad businesses.

In addition, folk remedies are very popular, such as sticking cucumbers and wiping honey, etc. There are many tricks. In fact, the placebo effect plays the most important role, which is not very effective. For these pure natural substances, especially plants, we must be alert to allergic dermatitis, otherwise it will not only have no cosmetic effect, but will be prone to allergies and bad face.

When skin care products and makeup cannot meet the needs of some people, micro-plastic surgery is also a good choice. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for treatment. It is not that the more money you spend, the better the effect, but if you want to be cheap, go Some beauty institutions that do not have operating licenses have something wrong, even if they can get an explanation, it will be difficult to get back to the past.

It is worth noting that women have increased capillary fragility during menstruation, prolonged blood clotting time, and decreased resistance to infection. Therefore, invasive examinations such as cosmetic injections and exfoliative lasers are recommended to avoid menstrual periods.

You can’t lose your beauty because you love beauty. Have you mastered all the knowledge about beauty?
For beauty, the most important thing is to be rational and not to try all “beauty secrets” fearlessly. Don’t be moved by the “sweet words” of people around you and buy a lot of products that are not suitable for your skin. To know A’s honey, B’s arsenic, the most important thing for beauty is to choose the right one.

The skin is a very wonderful system. It is the body’s first defense barrier and the body’s largest immune organ. It is constantly undergoing metabolism and constant self-repair. Beauty is only one aspect of the skin. Don’t damage other functions of the skin for the sake of beauty. The most beautiful but natural, too pampered with the skin is not necessarily a good thing, beauty will also be counterproductive.

※Key points

Applying the mask for more than 20 minutes will cause swelling of the stratum corneum, which will affect its function in the long run, and the skin will become fragile; sticking cucumber slices on the face, applying honey… These “pure plant masks” will not have much effect, and beware of skin allergies .
