The daily habitual maintenance steps, even if you are groggy and close your eyes, you don't have to think about it to know that you should wash your face, lotion, essence and then cream, and then add sunscreen when you go out, which is the most perfect maintenance homework. Honest maintenance should make the skin more beautiful, but why, ** there is no stable improvement effect, what is wrong there? Vogue interviewed experts and pointed out that the most people make mistakes in the moisturizer step.
The importance of moisturizers.
To put it simply, moisturizer is the final step of the maintenance routine, in addition to the different benefits of the ingredients of the cream itself, the most important thing is to help the skin complete moisturizing and hydration, and achieve the effect of a protective barrier. Lotions and serums are too many steps in between, and creams should be taken seriously if you want to make the best end for your skin. The following three are moisturizers, which can be extended to any kind of cream strictly speaking, as long as you keep the following three keys in mind, you can take your maintenance to the next level.
1.Wait time.
In the world of care, the order in which it is used does change the product. The lightest and most watery products are always used first so that they don't encounter any obstacles when trying to penetrate**. That's why the most basic correct order is always lotion, serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen. But keep in mind that in the middle of each step, you have to wait a few minutes for the subsequent product to penetrate and absorb more easily. For example, if we apply a cream immediately after applying a serum, the ingredients of the serum may not have time to penetrate**, and the effect will be greatly reduced. Therefore, to apply it correctly, the first thing to do is to wait for at least a few minutes between applying the serum and the cream.
2.Correct dosage.
Another important key to applying a cream is knowing how much you should have to apply in order for the active ingredient to work. Let's be honest: from what we've seen, we're not doing enough. "The ideal dosage is one almond-sized size for the face, and if you also want to rub directly into the neck and décolleté (which you should do), you should use two almonds," says a skincare expert at Miin Cosmetics. "That's enough to moisturize well enough to allow the product to be absorbed, thus avoiding that dreaded heaviness. If you're used to using a very small amount of cream, there's a good chance that the product will last too long and expire after opening. In addition, do not take the cream away and reach down with your fingers to dig it out, even if it is for your own use, it may allow bacteria to enter the possibility of breeding, so prepare a scoop.
3.Pair with massage.
Some people buy creams but rarely use them because they are worried that their skin will be shiny due to the use of oil, and the way they apply the cream is even more important in order to avoid this. Therefore, after picking up the almond-sized amount, first spread it by making a circular upward on the **, this practice can stimulate blood circulation, which is very important for activating the ** and making it easier to penetrate and absorb.
The trend is still new
Thankfully, despite the fact that we have been using moisturizers incorrectly all our lives, these mistakes are easy to correct. You just need to choose the most suitable moisturizer for your **type and be amazed at the results.
