1. Don’t put on makeup just after taking a shower
Generally, people like to do skin care after taking a bath, because the heat during bathing will open the skin pores, and using skin care products at this time will undoubtedly have a better skin care effect.
For the same reason, if you start to make up within a short period of time after bathing, the dust in the cosmetics, or some chemical additives, are also more likely to enter the pores. After the pores are closed, it is easy to form pore blockage, which is not only difficult to clean, but also affects the absorption effect of daily skin care products.
Therefore, everyone should pay more attention in daily life. Never start to make up immediately after bathing. It is best to have an interval of one hour in between to let the pores relax and close before putting on makeup.
2.Sunscreen and photosensitive skin care products、foods
The main purpose of sunscreen is not only to avoid and isolate the damage caused by excessive ultraviolet radiation to the skin, but the most important point is that ultraviolet rays will greatly increase the activity of human cells. In other words, ultraviolet radiation will accelerate skin aging.
In daily skin care products and even daily food, some ingredients may increase the skin’s sensitivity to ultraviolet rays. To give a simple example, in daily skin care, many people like to use fruit or vegetable slices to apply to the face to achieve a natural moisturizing effect, but these fruits and vegetables usually contain certain photosensitive ingredients. If they are exposed to ultraviolet rays immediately or within a short period of time after applying these fruits and vegetables, not only can they not maintain the skin, but they will also have a counter-effect and damage the skin.
Similarly, some skin care products also contain photosensitive ingredients, the most common of which is vitamin C. Therefore, when using skin care products, you should also pay attention to the ingredients of skin care products and try to use skin care products containing photosensitive ingredients at night, so as to avoid unnecessary skin damage while maximizing the role of various ingredients in skin care products.
3. When applying skin care products, do you pat your face hard?
When using skin care products in daily life, everyone likes to do some massage and patting, and some people even like to pat very hard in order to achieve the purpose of “patting nutrients into the skin”.
In fact, the correct skin care posture should be to apply skin care products in a 45° angle in one direction. Simply put, the upper face part is from the middle of the forehead to the sides and then to the temples, the lower face part is from the chin to the cheeks and then to the temples, and the nose part is from the tip of the nose to the nose wing, also applied at a 45° angle to the upper part, and the eyes are from the root of the nose, divided into the upper and lower eyelids, and applied to the corners of the eyes to the position of the temples.
Applying skin care products in this way is not only conducive to the absorption of skin care products, but also has a lifting and massage effect on the skin.
