What your skin needs is stability, not early adopters

According to a recent survey, the post-90 s generation buys an average of 2.3 skin care products every month, and the dressing table keeps 20 + bottles and cans all the year round. But you know what? Frequent changes of skin care products may be the culprit of your increasingly sensitive skin!

? Three major hazards of frequently changing skin care products

① Damaged skin barrier
Every time you change products, the skin needs to readapt. Just like changing the staple food every day, the stomach will definitely not stand it.

② Conflicting ingredients
A brand whitening essence + B brand anti-aging cream, the ingredients may "fight", ranging from failure to allergy.

③ Unable to judge the effect
Use it for a week and say it doesn't work? In fact, many ingredients take 28 days to take effect.
