Basic facial care steps

Skin care can be said to be a skill that everyone must master. The steps of facial care are different depending on the skin condition. In the cold winter, the skin is very easy to dry and crack. At this time, facial skin care can restore the vitality of the skin. In the hot summer, the skin is easily damaged by ultraviolet rays, and the focus of skin care at this time is on repair. So what are the correct steps for basic facial care?

1. What are the basic facial care?

Cleanses skin thoroughly. This is the basis of all skin care and also the most important step. If the skin is not cleaned properly, subsequent skin care will be in vain. Usually we need to make sure to cleanse the skin twice a day, morning and evening, especially at night. Nighttime is the skin's repair period, and inadequate cleaning will cause clogged pores. Reminder to all girls: Skin care requires persistence, but it only takes one night to ruin it by sleeping with makeup on.

Prevents wrinkles. Regularly applying facial masks can regulate skin texture, prevent wrinkles, and remove dead skin cells on the surface. But girls should be reminded that the stratum corneum should not be over-cleaned, especially for those with thin stratum corneum and sensitive skin, because the stratum corneum is the natural barrier of the skin and only needs to be cleaned moderately when it is too thick. Excessive cleaning will reduce the skin's resistance. Therefore, scrubs are not suitable for all skin types, and the frequency of use should not be too high.

Balances skin pH. Healthy skin is slightly acidic, and bacteria are not easy to breed in such an environment. Once the acidic environment of the skin is destroyed and the skin's antibacterial ability decreases, it may induce skin problems such as acne. Therefore, when using toner, you must use weakly acidic water, especially after cleaning the skin with an alkaline facial cleanser, you must pay attention to adjusting the pH value of the skin.

Replenish water and nutrients. Only when the skin has sufficient moisture and nutrients can it be bright, shiny and beautiful. Therefore, you should adjust your skin hydration plan according to your skin condition, physiological state and season.

Protect your skin. There are substances in the environment that damage our skin all the time, so we must protect our skin at all times. Especially in seriously polluted environments, isolation work must be done to prevent pollutants from invading the pores and causing blockage. In the hot summer, you must do a good job of sun protection to avoid ultraviolet rays burning your skin.

Do regular deep cleaning. You don’t have to go to a beauty salon and spend a lot of money on a spa. You can buy a small facial steamer at home, which is very cost-effective.
