The strong wind cools down, is your skin also starting to "cry cold"? The weather is dry and the things are dry. In order to make the skin warmer, do you start all kinds of "pampering" skin care - face cream, facial mask, steaming, exfoliation... Don't worry, first listen to the "wonderful skin care theory" brought by the doctor, and reveal the "routine" hidden in daily skin care for you. Maybe you are being played around by these unintentional skincare misconceptions! Misconception: The hotter the wash water, the better. Do you think using hot water to wash your face in winter is particularly comfortable? But you know what? Overheated water can damage the oil layer of the skin, causing it to become even drier. So washing your face with warm water is the way to go! Misconception: A facial steamer=a skin humidifier. When a facial steamer rings, does the skin "drink enough water"? Don't be too naive! Frequent use of facial steamers may damage the sebum membrane of the skin, causing it to lose its ability to retain water. Suggest using 1-2 times a week, 5-10 minutes each time. Misunderstanding: Apply facial mask every day Apply facial mask every day, the skin may "drink", resulting in excessive hydration of the skin, making the stratum corneum fragile. It is recommended to apply the facial mask 2-3 times a week, 15-20 minutes each time, to give the skin a chance to breathe! Mistake moisturizing spray is like a "temporary savior" for skin, but don't forget to lock water in time! Otherwise, spraying too much will only treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. After spraying spray, remember to use a cotton pad to absorb excess water, and then apply moisturizing cream, which is the right way! Misconception: Winter sunscreen can save the sun. Although it is gentle, the ultraviolet rays are still strong. Not wearing sunscreen can lead to skin sunburn and aging. It is recommended to choose a lightweight sunscreen and apply it daily. Misconception: Peeling on the face requires exfoliation. Dry and peeling skin may be due to dehydration. At this point, exfoliating is like adding insult to injury to the skin. Strengthening hydration and moisturization is the key! Misconception: The thicker the moisturizing product, the better. Moisturizing products are not necessarily "the more, the better". Overuse of moisturizing products may lead to ineffective absorption by the skin, and instead increase the burden. It is recommended to apply a small amount multiple times until the skincare product is fully absorbed, in order to achieve better moisturizing effect. Misconception: Oily skin doesn't need hydration. Oily skin also needs hydration! Because excessive oil does not necessarily mean sufficient moisture. It is recommended to choose skincare products with lighter texture, oil control and hydration, so that the skin can maintain water oil balance even in winter. Breaking away from these "weird" misconceptions and adopting the correct skincare methods, your skin can stay hydrated and healthy in winter. Remember, skincare is like dating, it requires careful care and patience to reap beautiful results.
