When it comes to skincare routines, many newbies have questions like this:
Where should the essence be used? Milk before water, or water before milk? Are the skincare routines the same during the day and at night?
In order to avoid detours, today I have specially compiled a list of all the details about the skincare process, and sit on the small bench and start taking notes
Make-up remover
Before you start washing your face at night, you need to remove your makeup, which is also the first step in your evening skincare.
Because many people's skin problems are caused by inadequate makeup removal, the importance of makeup removal is needless to say!
If you wear makeup during the day or use a waterproof sunscreen, be sure to remove it at night. But if you're not wearing makeup, you can skip the makeup removal step.
Tip: Light makeup or sunscreen, just use lotion.
With full makeup, you can choose cleansing oils, cleansing creams, etc. In addition, eye and lip makeup need to be removed with a special eye and lip makeup remover.
Wash your face
Needless to say, washing your face is something that almost everyone does.
Just remember to choose the right cleanser for your skin type and season!
Suggestion: Sensitive skin and dry skin can choose amino acid facial cleanser, and oily skin can choose soap-based facial cleanser and SLS SLS facial cleanser if you care about cleaning power (the frequency of use should not be too high).
Exfoliate and cleanse**
Exfoliation and cleansing** are both part of deep cleansing, after all, we usually wear makeup, and there will be oily situations, so regular cleaning is still necessary.
But this step doesn't need to be done every day, pay attention to the frequency.
Suggestion: Oily skin can be controlled 1-2 times a week, dry skin can be once a week or once every half a month, sensitive skin please automatically bypass this step.
Lotion
The main function of lotion is to hydrate, adjust the pH value of the skin, make ** softer, and also promote the absorption of subsequent skin care products.
You can gently pat the lotion on your face, and if you have a cotton pad, you can use a cotton pad to absorb the lotion and then gently wipe it on your face.
Suggestion: For sensitive people, it is recommended not to use products containing alcohol, which can easily cause irritation and dryness. In addition, do not use lotions that contain a lot of acids, as they can easily exert too strong oil control and exfoliation, and damage the stratum corneum.
Many people like to apply it directly after cleansing.
Although there is nothing wrong with doing this, if you use lotion to base it in advance, you can make ** give full play to its own effect, which is much more efficient than applying it directly.
Suggestion: ** can not be applied every day, under normal circumstances, you can use it 1-2 times a week.
Essence
For essences, many people like to use a variety of essences together, such as anti-aging + whitening + moisturizing, acne + anti-wrinkle + whitening, etc.
But it is not recommended for everyone to do this, because such a random superposition is likely to lead to a bad face.
Suggestion: Choose according to your own skin type and skin problems, for example, your ** is not a big problem, you can use a single-function hydrating essence is enough. But if you want to whiten, you can choose a whitening serum.
Lotion creams
The water and essence mentioned earlier ensure that our skin is hydrated, while lotions or creams form a closed loop and lock in moisture in the skin.
In terms of efficacy, lotions and creams are both the same product. Therefore, there is no need to use it at the same time, it is enough to choose one according to your skin type and needs.
Recommendation: For oily skins with strong oil secretion, choosing a lotion may be sufficient.
Creams are usually a little more moisturizing and thicker than lotions, so you can choose creams for dry skin that needs to be moisturized in need or in winter.
Eye cream
The eye area is a special part of the face, and it is more fragile and sensitive than other places, so it is sometimes necessary to use a special eye cream.
The order of use of eye cream is still relatively flexible, it can be used before lotion & cream, or it can be placed after, the effect is not much different, depending on personal preference.
Recommendation: Eye creams can be chosen according to the condition and needs of the skin around the eyes
Girls aged 18-24 are mainly moisturizing, and can choose hydrating eye creams;
Women aged 25-35 are mainly anti-aging, and can choose anti-aging eye creams;
35 women focus on wrinkle removal and can choose wrinkle removal and firming eye cream;
Sunscreen
Applying sunscreen as the last step of morning skincare not only prevents tanning, but also reduces the occurrence of various ** problems and anti-aging.
Recommendation: When choosing sunscreen products, look at the two parameters of SPF and PA:
For those who commute to work daily and are active indoors, you can choose sunscreens with SPF15 20, PA+ PA++;
For outdoor activities, travel, travel, travel, etc., you can choose a sunscreen with SPF30+ PA++ PA+++.
Are the skincare routines the same during the day and at night?
A little different, but much the same.
Daytime skincare. The skincare sequence is as follows:
Cleansing, lotion, serum, lotion, cream, sunscreen.
Evening skincare. The evening skincare routine is more complex and restorative. The skincare sequence is as follows:
Make-up remover, cleanser (exfoliation, cleansing**), lotion (*serum, eye cream, lotion, cream.
ps: There are parentheses (), which means that you don't need to do it every day.
The complete skin care routine written above, of course, should also be selected and deleted according to your own conditions and specific skin conditions!
