Men's autumn and winter skin care should avoid 4 mistakes

Myth 1: The hotter the water, the better the cleaning power.

As we enter autumn and winter, skin metabolism slows down, and dead skin and dirt tend to accumulate. There is a popular saying that washing your face with hot water helps clean dirt, and the hotter the better, as it can "dissolve" deep-seated dirt and carry it away. In fact, this is completely wrong. First, it’s best to wash your face with warm water rather than hot water. Although overheated water has a better effect in dissolving oil, while washing away excess oil on the face, it also destroys the protective sebum film and aggravates skin dryness. Warm water refers to water at around 40 degrees, which is slightly higher than the skin temperature. This temperature feels best. Using warm water makes the skin less tense and easier to accept. Secondly, deep cleaning requires the use of professional products.

Misconception 2: I always feel that facial cleansers are not clean enough and are not as convenient as ordinary soap.

The skin is exposed to the outside every day, and oil secretion, dust, dirt, and aging cuticles have long been accumulated on the surface of the skin. If they are not cleaned carefully, the cuticle layer will be too thick and the pores will be clogged, causing dull skin tone and enlarged pores. Therefore, thorough cleaning every night is particularly important. Ordinary soaps are too alkaline and can damage the skin and cause dryness, allergies and other problems. If you like the feel of soap, you can choose professional facial cleansing soap.

Misconception 3: Continue using the cleansing products you use in summer in autumn and winter.

In autumn and winter, when a cold wind blows and the temperature drops sharply, don't use those super oil-control cleansers you used in the summer. Products with too strong cleansing power will make your skin drier. It is recommended to switch to a milder product.

Misconception 4: In order to clean the skin more thoroughly, people often use an exfoliating cleanser and then a cleansing mask on the same day to deep clean the skin.

Both scrub cleansers and cleansing masks have exfoliating effects. Even for oily skin, such layers of exfoliation can be terrifying. The correct removal cycle for keratin should be 7-14 days, and facial cleansers with a scrub effect can be used once every 3-5 days. After the aged cuticle is removed, the skin needs to be replenished with moisture. At this time, it is safest to use a mild, moisturizing, wash-free facial mask.
