Five common misunderstandings about whitening and moisturizing in daily life

Every girl wants to whiten her skin, but sometimes we have some misunderstandings. Here are the five major misunderstandings summarized by the editor:

Misconception 1: I often pour toner directly on my hands, thinking that patting with my hands will make the toner easier to be absorbed by the skin.

Analysis: Pouring toner on your hands and patting them will not only fail to cleanse your face again, but the toner will also flow away during the process, which is actually quite a waste.

The correct way to do it is to soak a cotton pad with an appropriate amount of astringent, and then gently apply it to the cleansed face and neck. A small amount is enough to cover the entire face. Not only is there no waste, but the cotton pad adheres better to the skin than hands. The product can then cleanse, moisturize and condition the skin again, and the effect will be better, and it will also be more hygienic.

Myth 2: Rapid spot removal

Analysis: Rapid removal of spots is just a myth. Many women suffer from facial spots due to internal and external factors. Medically known as damaging skin diseases, the cure rate is very low. It usually takes about a month for the original skin pigment to be naturally metabolized and shed. It takes a long process to lighten the pigment.

The right way to do it: Don’t damage your skin in your eagerness to remove spots. If you want to completely remove the spots on your face, you should go to a regular beauty and skin care agency to consult better spot removal methods and treat it in a calm manner.

Myth 3: Put all your cosmetics in the refrigerator

I once heard a colleague ask me: "I stored the night cream in the refrigerator some time ago. When I took it out yesterday, I found that the oil and water were separated." This is a question that many people are confused about. In fact, many beauty and skin care cosmetics cannot be placed in the refrigerator. For example, beauty and skin care products containing oils may separate into oil and water due to refrigeration, and many beauty and skin care products containing active ingredients will lose their activity due to refrigeration...

The correct way is: Generally speaking, oil-free beauty skin care gel or beauty skin care mask, beauty skin care lotion can be refrigerated before use, which can cool the skin in the summer. However, it is best to consult for specific details when purchasing beauty and skin care products.

Myth 4: I have dry skin, so I can’t use whitening products

Analysis: Dry skin has no direct relationship with the use of whitening beauty and skin care products, but dry skin must put moisturizing first to ensure the normalization of the skin's natural metabolism with sufficient moisture, otherwise the whitening ingredients will not be absorbed by the skin.

The correct approach is: It is best to use more whitening essence or night cream and other beauty and skin care products at night to allow the skin to fully absorb nutrients and gradually show the whitening effect.

Myth 5: Applying eye cream thickly on eye wrinkles or fine lines

Analysis: In addition, the skin on the eyelids has no fat and is not easy to absorb skin care products. If too much eye cream is applied on the eyelids, it will not only easily irritate the eyes and cause the pores of the skin around the eyes to be clogged and form oil particles, but it will also make the small lines on the skin around the eyes more obvious due to pulling.

The correct way to do it is: eye cream is relatively moisturizing and spreadable, so the amount used does not need to be large, about the size of a mung bean. This is why the content of eye cream of almost all brands is around 15ml.
