Moisturizing is almost what every woman does every day. Wet compress, facial mask and cream are applied again in the morning and evening, but why is the face still so dry?
During this period, winter and spring alternate, which is very dry and cannot be taken lightly to replenish water and moisturize.
What is the hydrating effect of the facial mask?
Let me tell you the conclusion first, whether it is a few dollars of facial mask or hundreds of dollars of facial mask, the effect is very limited.
We used the facial mask, and the next day we felt that the skin became better and even whitened. That was because the facial mask soaked our stratum corneum, making the skin look more delicate and shiny.
However, the water only stays on the surface of the skin and cannot enter the inside of the skin. In other words, using facial mask to replenish water, its effect is limited to the epidermis and cannot be added.
Moisture in the skin is not obtained from the outside, but absorbed and utilized through diet.
All, all publicity [hydration] is only a marketing method for skin care products. No product can replenish water. They can only infiltrate the stratum corneum.
Although moisturizing skin care products have little effect, there are ways to moisturize. Your skin is dry, which may not be due to insufficient moisture, but due to the important step of moisturizing.
Are moisturizing products useful
The key is to look at these two components.
In order to make the skin tender, besides eating, drinking and replenishing more water, it is very important to lock the skin moisture, which requires forming a film on the skin surface.
How to choose water milk, essence, cream, etc. The key is to look at the following two types of components.
1. Moisturizing ingredients
Common moisturizing ingredients include glycerin, urea and hyaluronic acid.
- Glycerin: strong water absorption, and low price. Combined with other moisturizing agents, the effect is better. Urea: not only can moisturize, but also has certain anti-allergy function. Hyaluronic acid: it can absorb 500 times of its own volume of water and form a moisturizing film on the skin surface.
2. Seal component
In order to achieve good moisturizing effect, sealant is also needed to prevent skin moisture loss. Sealant itself does not absorb water, but it can cover the skin surface like a film to prevent moisture from evaporating.
Common sealants include various oils, silicons, ceramides, etc.
- Oils: such as olive oil, lanolin, etc., the texture is thick and sticky, suitable for dry skin or use in autumn and winter. Silicone: such as cyclohexyl siloxane, polydimethylsiloxane, etc., the overall texture is not so thick, after smearing will have a greasy feeling. Ceramide: can lock in water, but also can help skin repair.
What should be emphasized here is that when smearing these products, they must be evenly applied and the dosage should be sufficient. There is only one face, but don’t be reluctant to use it. Insufficient dosage and uneven smearing will make the money for skin care products wasted.
In addition to moisturizing, I have made a set of systematic courses with Clove Mother for the common skin care problems of women, such as whitening, acne, anti-wrinkle, relaxation and other 8 skin care problems, as well as skin care during special periods (pregnancy).
I hope that through this course, I can tell you all the skin care methods I have learned and practiced in the past 10 years and give you a professional skin care solution.
