3 skin care minefields, have you stepped on the mines?

Skin care and beauty also have their own methods. To do skin care properly, you must also have your own skin care methods. Below are 3 skin care taboos that 99% of people will make. Are you, who usually cares about your face, caught in one of these?

Skin Care Minefield 1: Using a Peel-Off Mask to Remove Blackheads

Peel-off masks that claim to be able to remove dirt from pores are not suitable for use at any stage of acne. They will only further cause sensitivity and even lead to enlarged pores and sagging skin.

Skin care tips: When acne or adult acne is in the whitehead or blackhead stage, you can use acne-removing products containing BHA ingredients. The effect is particularly outstanding and can dissolve dirt in the pores in a less irritating way. Once blackheads become inflamed, accompanied by redness, swelling and pain, no skin care products can help. Therefore, it is recommended to use as few skin care products as possible when the skin is inflamed, or to use skin care products with soothing and calming effects to reduce discomfort.

Skincare Minefield 2: Using Serum Directly After Cleansing

Essence is a highly nutritious skin care product. If the cleansing step is not done thoroughly and bacteria remain, the essence will nourish the bacteria and cause skin inflammation and other problems. Toner has a secondary cleansing effect, ensuring that no dirt remains. Applying toner can help the skin form a sebum film, thereby effectively smoothing the cuticle, allowing the nutrients of the essence to be more fully absorbed and directly penetrate deep into the skin, making the skin softer, smoother and more elastic.

Skin care tips: In addition to the secondary cleansing function, toner can also allow the skin pores to reopen from the tightened state after cleansing, thereby helping the essence to penetrate deep into the skin to nourish it and better play an anti-aging role.

Skin care minefield 3: Frequent switching of skin care products

Many people use skin care products, especially high-performance anti-aging products. If they find that the effects are not obvious within a few weeks, they will think that the products are ineffective and change them immediately. In fact, the skin's renewal cycle is generally 28 days, and the skin has an adaptation period to the product. If you change cosmetics frequently, the skin will not have time to adapt, and may even have allergies. In the long run, not only will it not have an anti-aging effect, but it will make the skin fragile and accelerate aging!

Skin care tips: Some of today's anti-wrinkle products incorporate high technology or contain expensive ingredients, and the anti-wrinkle effects are quite obvious, but it takes about 28 days to see the anti-wrinkle effects. Generally speaking, to determine whether a product has a good anti-wrinkle effect, it still takes three months of consistent use.
