Have you taken care of your skin today? ]
At first glance, it sounds a bit strange. It’s been 9012 years. Who hasn’t taken care of skin yet?
However, the actual situation is [depend, there is no time for skin care today].
For example, white-collar workers in the workplace: overtime is the norm. It’s already early morning when they get home with difficulty. They can’t wait to fall asleep. They don’t even bother to take off their makeup. They can’t take care of skin care.
Another example is to bring her hot mom: as long as she is awake, she has to be on standby at any time. She finally got her to sleep and she was too tired to move at all. Skin care has become a luxury.
It is rare to squeeze out some time for skin care. If you go to a beauty salon, there will be thousands of them. The cost performance is too low. A complete set of skin care products, from cleaning, facial mask, water cream, essence, cream and so on, came down for more than half an hour, and finally fell to ashes without a few times… People [old] don’t tear it down.
What is more terrible is that with the growth of age, the skin deteriorates at a speed visible to the naked eye. In addition to the wrinkles that quietly cover the canthus, it is also necessary to take pains to deal with the dark skin that comes from it.
What should I do?
Household beauty instruments can just give you the relative freedom of skin care when you are busy, especially in the aspect of anti-aging, which is more economical and economical than beauty salons, and saves time and labor than going through a full set of skin care procedures.
However, in the face of so many beauty instruments on the market, many people will have difficulty in choosing. Because the average person often does not have relatively professional knowledge, it is easy to eat fake concepts and medical terms to fool him and cannot choose a beauty instrument that is really suitable for him.
How can we choose a beauty instrument that is really easy to use and suitable for ourselves? Listen to what the experts say.
At present, some major household beauty instruments on the market are divided into the following categories:
(Super) Acoustic Wave Type, Micro Current Type, Laser Type, RF Radio Frequency Type, LED Type.
It sounds very high one by one. In fact, after understanding the working principle, the choice will not be so difficult.
[Ultrasonic Cleansing Technology]
Ultrasonic beauty instrument mainly uses the characteristics of high-frequency oscillation and strong penetrating power of ultrasonic wave to make skin produce high-energy movement and effectively remove impurities, grease and the like in skin, thus improving metabolism and finally achieving the purpose of deep skin cleaning.
However, the beauty instrument that focuses on facial cleaning is not Tiger Balm. It may improve the skin condition, but it only plays the role of exfoliating at most and cannot go deep into pores to clean up deep dirt.
Warm Tip: Thin-skinned people must stay away from facial cleanser, because the more frequent they use it, the greater the damage to the skin barrier function, and the more sensitive the skin will become.
Moreover, once the cleanser is contaminated, it may aggravate the damage to the skin and even cause skin infection.
I don’t even have enough time to wash my face. Are you sure I still have time to maintain my facial cleanser?
[Micro Current]
Micro-current is actually EMS, which is English
The abbreviation of Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) translates to electrical impulse muscle stimulation.
As the name implies, the working principle of micro-current is to stimulate your skin through a small current, increase local blood circulation, and allow muscles to contract, thus achieving the visual temporary tightening and lifting effect, with emphasis: temporary.
For those with thin skin (thin skin barrier), dermatitis and sensitive skin, micro-current cosmetic instrument is not recommended.
[Laser Technology]
Laser usually uses the principle of selective photothermal action to achieve the purpose of medical cosmetology.
Its function is to make the skin more transparent, enhance glossiness, promote the proliferation of collagen, and make the skin look relatively young.
The advantage is that the effect is immediate, but it is painful during use. At the same time, the adjustment and proofreading of parameters such as laser energy and pulse width require high professionalism, and the occurrence rate of complications is also high. Doctors with excellent professional ability are required to operate.
Moreover, the energy of the domestic laser beauty instrument is not as great as that of medical beauty, and it can only achieve the effects of slight wrinkle removal and skin firming, which is far from the effect of medical laser.
[LED Technology]
LED technology is also commonly known as red and blue light:
- Red LED was found in the study to promote cell proliferation, repair skin, and may also fade pigment spots. Blue LED was found in the study to be bactericidal and anti-inflammatory, to some extent inhibit acne.
Red light is relatively widely used in family beauty instruments. It mainly activates cell function through light modulation, improves skin microcirculation, and also has certain positive effects on the fading of abnormal pigment and the recovery of skin color.
Red LED is very suitable for people who have just entered the beauty instrument pit, because its efficacy is suitable for most people and it is relatively simple and safe to use.
[Radio Frequency Technology]
Radio frequency is a kind of electromagnetic wave with high frequency and AC changes. Through the rapidly changing electromagnetic field, water molecules in skin move, rub and generate heat, and heat collagen fibers to about 45 ~ 60 ℃.
This kind of thermal effect has been found to effectively start skin repair and regeneration and continuously stimulate collagen repair and regeneration, thus playing a role in skin tightening and anti-wrinkle.
Compared with ultrasonic scalpel, laser and other treatments, radio frequency cosmetic instrument reduces the damage to surrounding tissues and cells, and is a relatively mature and safe technology.
For radio frequency therapy, temperature control is very important. 45 ~ 65 ℃ is the best temperature for collagen recombination and regeneration, while human epidermis will be scalded above 43 ℃, so it is not that the higher the somatosensory temperature, the better. Ultimately, it depends on the dermis temperature.
Of course, the demand for skin care is often complex, and a single technology cannot meet our expanding demand for skin care, so many beauty instruments will integrate various technologies.
