The products and techniques of skin care are important; however, the wrong order of use will greatly reduce the effectiveness of skincare, not to mention that it will also bring a crisis to the skin.

Skin care is divided into 2 parts: morning skincare and night skin care.

The basic morning skincare sequence

Cleansing → water → eye essence → eye cream → essence → lotion → face cream → sunscreen

Skincare, in fact, is divided into 2 parts: morning skincare and night skincare

Basic nighttime skincare sequence

Cleanser → Mask → Water → Eye Essence → Eye Cream → Essence → Lotion → Face Cream

Morning skincare, in addition to making the skin nourished, is to make the skin better makeup; while night skincare is mainly to repair the skin condition! So, do not be anxious in the morning, lazy at night; eventually sacrificed the interests of the skin, hastily account for their youth ...

So: these 8 steps of skin care, each of them can not be sloppy!

Cleansing

Cleansing is the foundation of skincare, after washing away the dirt, to allow the skin to better absorb skin care products. But most people have a misconception: they like to "deep clean"! It is important to know that excessive cleansing will harm the skin barrier, and let the skin lose its protective layer...

Especially for sensitive, acne-prone, dry skin, which means that the barrier has been damaged and can not afford to be "too clean"! It is recommended that you choose an amino acid cleanser, which is more in line with the pH value of the skin and can gently cleanse without hurting the skin.

The right way

1) Wash your hands first and rub the cleanser on your hands to make a rich foam

2) Rub the foam gently on your face in a circular motion for about 1 minute

3) Wash with water, the temperature of the water close to the skin temperature is appropriate

4) Press to dry the water stains on the face, use a disposable washcloth to avoid bacteria invasion

*The whole washing process should be controlled within 3 minutes, long time rubbing is easy to let the dirty things enter the skin twice

Water

The pores are in a slightly open state after cleansing, and the next skincare step within 3 minutes is the golden period.

There are many types of water: make-up, toner, softener, and essence... They have different functions and slightly different levels of nutrients, but fundamentally, they are all designed to soften the skin and prepare it for the absorption of subsequent products.

Correct practice

1) Pour the water on the palm of your hand and rub the hands together to heat it up

2) Gently pat on the skin, pay attention to the clean hands

Water on the face in many ways, it is recommended that people with a healthy skin barrier can use the method of wiping the face with a cotton pad, which can play a better secondary cleaning effect and condition skin stratum corneum.

Eye care

Eye care is indispensable, and the sooner the better, after 25 + maintenance is a little late but better than always being careless. The skin around the eyes is the first place to age, and now staying up too late daily will accelerate the aging of the eye skin.

Many people have misconceptions about eye care: they think eye care and facial care can be confused, and they think eye care is a single eye cream or eye serum...

Do you often have fatty grains around your eyes?

This is the result of using facial products to wipe the skin around the eyes for a long time; it is also related to your use of eye cream, not eye serum so that the nutrients have a buildup!

Eye care is a separate step and needs a complete closed loop. Eye serum and eye cream can be paired to give better absorption and repair to the eyes, try not to split them. When choosing an eye serum, you can choose one with a massage effect that will help absorption around the eyes.

Correct practice

1) Start with the eye serum, dip the middle finger into an appropriate amount of product and rub both fingers together until warm

2) Gently massage in a circular motion from the inner corner of the eye to the outside in a point-and-shoot manner until absorbed

3) Apply eye cream again in the same way

If the eye essence chooses to have an electric massage effect, the later eye cream application techniques should be more gentle; no matter what way you choose, the strength and magnitude of the message should not be too large, otherwise, the skin will become saggy.

Essence

Essentially this step is very important! The role of serum is to strengthen the special purpose of care so that the skin to achieve a more obvious effect of skin care. Because serum has a high effective concentration of d and its molecules are very small, it can quickly act on the bottom of the muscle; in the deeper layers of the skin for purposeful repair and skin care.

The effect that water and milk can not give, but the essence can give you; it should be noted that the essence must choose to repair the barrier, which is quite critical to the maintenance of the skin!

Before the age of 25, the essence can choose to hydrate and brighten, after 25, the main focus is on anti-aging!

Correct practice

1) Put 2~3 drops of serum into your palm and rub your hands together gently until it feels slightly warm

2)Press with the palm of your hand, from the nose outward, until the whole face is moisturized

Lotion

Use milk in summer, cream in winter? Big mistake!

Lotion and cream are inseparable. Lotion has a higher water content than cream and delivers moisture to the skin; at the same time, it can provide effective and more efficient moisturization because it has a small amount of oil.

If a person whose skin is always dehydrated does not use lotion but only cream; it must be dry in all seasons and how to make up for it will not help.

Creams

It is not the same as a lotion! It can effectively lock up the nutrients that have accumulated before. The cream can quickly form a protective film through the advantage of texture, locking in the internal nutrients, and stopping external pollution.

If you only use lotion and not cream, all the skincare ingredients applied before this will be lost and cannot be locked into the skin for real application.

Correct practice

1)Place an appropriate amount of serum/cream in the palm of your hand, hands gently rub until slightly warm feeling

2) Gently press the face until the whole face is moisturized

Sun Protection

Sunscreen is the last step in your morning skincare and you need to apply it every day! Logically, you need to apply sunscreen even if you are not going out at home to avoid the pervasive attack of UV rays.

Sunscreen cream, sunscreen, sunscreen spray, choose one to use up. You should always make up some sunscreen when you are out during the day, too.

Facial Mask

Mask, is the stage of the night skin care process! It is not seen every day, it is only used continuously for a period when your skin is abnormally dry and sensitive. If you apply a mask every day, it will lead to excess skin nutrients and moisture loss...

Mask is diverse, we can choose when the main hydration, anti-aging as a supplement; and then have some soothing effect of the mask, occasionally apply a dressing to the skin to reduce some pressure! Remember to wash off with water after applying the mask at night, and remember to make up the rest of the skincare steps.

Skincare is not difficult, the test is careful! Follow the process every day, and good skin will beckon you!
