Hydrating is one of the most common steps in our daily skin care routine. Everyone agrees that "hydrating with water" is the key to understanding hydration and skin care. The common toners and masks on the market are also indispensable products for moisturizing and skin care.

But in reality, moisturizing is not as important to our skin as we think. Many hydrating skin care methods are not suitable for everyone to do every day.

Today, let's talk about skin care products that impose an "IQ tax" and what to do if you want to moisturize.

A hydrating and skin care method that collects "IQ tax"

The concept of moisturizing skin care is still sought after by many people, and it is inseparable from the efficacy of skin care. Whether you use a spray, mask or wet pack, these skin care regimens will give you a clear view of the changes in your skin. Originally dry, wrinkled skin swells, thirst and enlarged skin pores become smaller, and the skin condition becomes clear again.

These moisturizing skin care methods are relatively easy to operate. There is no need to buy all kinds of expensive skin products, and skin care does not last long. The most important thing is that you can see changes in skin condition in a very short time. So everyone loves these hydrating skin care methods.

However, in real life, these moisturizing skin care methods mentioned above have not played a substantial role in skin care.

If you want to improve the problem of dry skin by moisturizing, moisturizing and skin care will relieve the thirst of the skin, but even if the water evaporates for a certain period of time, the skin will return to a dry state, and improper skin care measures will make the skin more prone to dryness.

In addition to relieving dry skin problems, moisturizing skin care is even more impossible to achieve whitening, oil control, acne removal and other effects.

The above-mentioned hydrating skin care actions penetrate into the surface layer of the skin, only temporarily moisturizing the stratum corneum, and cannot really replenish water to the skin. Some products on the market that advocate "deep" moisturizing are just conceptual behaviors of skin care.

Much of our skin's water supply depends on the transport of water from the dermis to the epidermis, which is more of the body's source of water.

So when the skin feels dehydrated and dry, the root of the problem is that the epidermis cannot capture moisture, so a more effective skin care method is to lock in moisture and "grab" it.

How to really moisturize the skin?

In fact, different skin types have different ways to lock in moisture. By identifying your skin type, you can truly achieve your goal of locking in and keeping your skin hydrated by providing effective skin care accordingly.

For dry skin, especially dry and sensitive skin, the focus of water-locking skin care is on moisturizing and repairing. It is rich in skin oil, increases the moisturizing power of the surface skin, replenishes the stratum corneum material, and stabilizes the skin barrier structure.

When choosing this type of skin care products, the cream products are mainly water-in-oil, and the ingredients are mainly repairing functional ingredients, which can achieve the effect of replenishing oil and repairing the keratin structure at the same time.

Apply moisturizing ingredients during the day and choose an oily cream to increase skin moisture and improve follow-up makeup.

Moisturizing is also important for oily skin. However, when choosing a skin care product, you need to consider the texture and feel of the product.

The choice of cream products can be mainly in the form of oil-in-water, while the moisturizing cream is mainly based on hygroscopic ingredients such as glycerin and urea, which reduces the supplement of oily ingredients and pays more attention to the degree of moisturizing.

However, with age, the speed and ability of the skin to repair itself decreases, and basic moisturizing is no longer enough. You can add antioxidant and anti-glycation skincare steps to your daily skincare routine. Add anti-oxidant essence products to fight inevitable skin damage and delay skin aging.

In addition, when choosing cream products, you can pay attention to products containing Boseine, which can not only improve the volume of the skin, but also increase the moisture content at the bottom of the skin, which is suitable for a wide range of skin types.
