How to take care of your skin around the age of 20? No need for any other messy steps, just three steps: Cleanse + Moisturize + Sunscreen

We all know that there are five skin types, let's see which one belongs to.

1. Normal skin

Non-drying and non-greasy, looks smooth, clean and healthy, with good elasticity and even skin tone

2. Dry skin

Oil-deficient, easy to peel, very fragile, reduced skin barrier function, prone to wrinkles and fine lines

3. Oily skin

Skin with large pores, oily, greasy reflective, acne and blackheads

4. Combination skin

The face will be dry and oily, usually the U-zone is more oily; the cheeks and around the eyes will feel dry

5. Sensitive skin

Weak skin barrier, often burning sensation, skin prone to inflammation or redness

How to identify your skin type

The first thing I do when I wake up is to wipe my face with a napkin. There are large transparent oily patches on the paper, representing oily skin. If your tissues are dry and your face feels tight, you have dry skin. If you have only oily patches on your forehead, nose and chin, you have combination skin.

Clean the skin

Cleaning is the first step in skin care, do you think washing your face is easy? I do not think so! Be careful when washing your face.

Insufficient cleansing - inability to remove dirt or makeup from the skin

Excessive cleansing - destroys the skin barrier, becomes sensitive, dry, acne-prone

1. Oily skin

Choose the right strong cleansing face wash, but don't use it for a long time.

Not only for oily skin, but also for blackheads and acne-prone skin, cleansers containing salicylic or glycolic acid can help exfoliate.

2. Dry/Neutral/Sensitive

The active agent should choose pH acidity, mild, moderate

3. Skills

What we should pay attention to is that the facial cleanser can not just stare at the facial cleanser containing amino acid ingredients. Amino acids are indeed a very mild ingredient, but of course there are milder actives.

The foam shape of the facial cleanser has nothing to do with the effect

Allow the surfactant in the cleanser to fully touch the face. The cleaning effect of surfactants is related to the ability of the hydrophobic group and not directly related to the formation of air bubbles. Therefore, it cannot be said that the more and denser the bubbles, the better the description of this product is.

Moisturizing

In fact, the most effective moisturizing method is:

Start with skin care and your small environment to minimize the transdermal volatilization of skin moisture;

To improve the dry living environment, you can try to turn on the humidifier in the air-conditioned room in summer and the air-conditioned room in winter at the same time, and control the indoor humidity to 50%-60%

1. Oily

Some people say that the skin of oil stars does not need to be hydrated, which is wrong! Use absorbent moisturizing products (hyaluronic acid, glycerin, trehalose, etc.)

2. Dryness

Moisturizers and sealants go hand-in-hand, do you know why your skin is still dry and peeling after applying it for so long? That's the lack of sealant, which seals out the moisture inside.

Sunscreen

Some people always ignore this step of sun protection. Then I tell you, this step of sun protection cannot be ignored.

When we apply sunscreen, we do not need to apply spf50 every time, which will bring a lot of burden to our skin:

Choose a lightweight waterproof sunscreen with spf30-40 for your daily commute.

Prefer purely physical sunscreens: For those who spend their day indoors, such as office workers, who sweat very little.

If you are exposed to the sun for a long time, choose a sunscreen with strong sun protection, spf50, preferably a combination of physical and chemical sunscreen, and reapply on time.

1. How much sunscreen should you apply each time?

The standard is 2 mg/cm². In general, 1-2 grams for the whole face. Use a bottle of 30 per day mg of sunscreen for up to one month. Not running out or using it too quickly means you're using too little or too much sunscreen.

2. What should I do if I rub mud when applying sunscreen?

In fact, it is normal to apply sunscreen and rub mud, because it cannot be absorbed by our skin and is difficult to absorb.

You can do this:

Don't apply too much skin care products in the morning. Do not mix with skin care products with high content of silicone oil, hyaluronic acid, colloids and thickeners.

After completing the final skin care step, wait 5-10 minutes to allow the product to dry as much as possible, then apply sunscreen.

When smearing, you can divide the area and apply it evenly in the same direction.

You can apply additional sunscreen to the nasolabial folds, between the eyebrows, and under the eyes, which are more prone to degradation of collagen under UV light.
