Dry skin counterattack guide
01
How many "death warnings" have you hit for dry skin?

⚠ ️ Tightening alarm
After washing your face with water in the morning, if you don't apply skin care products within 3 minutes, you feel like your face is strangled by plastic wrap. Even smiling will involve fine lines? It's not a lack of water in the skin, it's a distress call with a severely damaged barrier!
⚠ ️ Card powder disaster
After applying makeup, the nasolabial lines and the powder around the eyes become cracked lines, and the makeup is more and more mottled? The truth is: dryness makes the stratum corneum tilt up, the foundation gets stuck in the dander gap, and simply concealing it will only add insult to injury.
⚠ ️ Molting Crisis
When the seasons change, the cheeks peel like crazy, and the skin care products are hot and tingling? This means that your stratum corneum has a micro wound, and ordinary hydration can't penetrate at all!
⚠ ️ Reddening trap
Obviously not basking in the sun, but suddenly your cheeks are red and hot in the afternoon? Due to the lack of sebum protection, the ultraviolet penetration rate of dry skin is three times that of oily skin, and the photoaging speed is amazing!
? Scientific cold knowledge
When the skin moisture content is less than 10%, collagen will accelerate the breakage (wrinkle culprit!), Excessive transepidermal water loss rate (TEWL) will also cause chronic inflammation (precursor of sensitive muscle)!

3 Golden Rules of Dry Skin Care

? Morning protection: creating "artificial sebum film"
-
30-second clean water face wash method
The water temperature is strictly controlled at 32 ℃, and the palm of the water can be gently patted 20 times. Dry skin secretes oil ≈ 0 at night, and morning cleaning products will wash away the remaining protective film! -
3 Layer Essence Water Penetration
Choose the essence water containing B 5 + chitosamine, pour it on the palm of your hand and rub it to heat it, press it on your face for absorption, and then repeat it twice. The water content of the stratum corneum can be ↑ 43% for 7 consecutive days! -
Hyaluronic acid + cream "sandwich" sealing layer
First, apply small molecule hyaluronic acid essence to the whole face, and apply cream containing ceramide thickly immediately before it is wet. The oil in the cream will form a water-locking film on the surface of hyaluronic acid, and the moisturizing degree will be increased by 2.8 times! -
Choose "moisturizing type" for sunscreen
Avoid sunscreen with high alcohol content, and recommend logistics sunscreen and lotion texture sunscreen. When applying, push it away from the middle of the face to both sides in one direction to avoid rubbing mud!
? Night repair: start "skin charging mode"
-
Makeup removal with oil-soluble oil
For dry skin, please say goodbye to makeup remover forever! Choose makeup remover, dry hands and face massage for 30 seconds, add a small amount of warm water to emulsify, and the foundation in the pores will float out by itself, so there is no need to rub with cotton pads throughout the process. -
Amino acid cleansing correct posture
Choose amino acid cleansing. The cleansing cream first rubs out yogurt-like foam on the palm of your hand, focusing on cleaning the T zone, and just bringing it over your cheeks. This technique reduces the water loss by 67% compared with the whole face rubbing! -
Wet compress first aid equation
Soak the essence water with a stretchable cotton pad, and apply a wet compress on your forehead + cheeks for 3 minutes, which is equivalent to "artificial rainfall" on the stratum corneum. The sensitive period can be replaced by normal saline. -
Anti-aging should choose "oil-based essence"
In the process of skin care, you can use essential oil or essence oil, an anti-aging ingredient. Oil can not only buffer irritation, but also push anti-aging ingredients into the dermis! -
"Pressure cream" thick application method
Take twice the daily amount of repair cream, rub it with your palms and press it on your face. Vaseline crystal jelly can be superimposed on cracked parts such as nose and corners of mouth, and getting up the next day feels like applying a sleeping mask!
✨ Advanced skills: Oil application twice a week
Directly after cleansing, massage the whole face with 3 drops of skin care oil, cover with a hydrating mask, and after 15 minutes, the skin is transparent enough to look in the mirror and make-up!
03
A deadly minefield trampled by 90% of dry skins

? Minefield 1: Crazy mask "water injection"
Applying a mask every day will lead to excessive hydration of the stratum corneum (cell expansion and rupture), ranging from sensitivity and redness to hydration dermatitis! Correct practice: 2-3 times a week, each time ≤ 15 minutes, after application, you must apply cream to lock in water!
? Minefield 2: Superstitious "rubbing dishes" cleanliness
Soap-based cleansing will take away NMF natural moisturizing factor, and the skin moisture content after washing for 30 minutes is lower than before washing!
? Minefield 3: Wash your face with hot water in the bath
Hot water above 40 ℃ will dissolve the little sebum, and the impact of the shower will also destroy the structure of the stratum corneum. Correct posture: Gently wipe with a face towel dipped in warm water.
? Minefield 4: Only apply cream without essence
Cream can only lock water but not replenish water! Without the essence to open the skin channel, no matter how expensive the cream is, it floats on the surface. Remember: the essence is the conveyor truck, and the cream is the warehouse gate!

04
The ultimate philosophy of dry skin: less is more

✅ Product Selection
Each skincare step requires only 1 core product with no more than 3 layers (water + essence + cream). All the top five ingredients containing alcohol and acids in the ingredient list pass!
✅ Manipulation criteria
Avoid rubbing throughout! Lotion press, essence gently push, cream palm emulsification and press. The correct technique can increase the product absorption rate by 55%!
✅ Mentality Cultivation
Don't pursue immediate results! The stratum corneum renewal cycle is 28 days, and it takes one quarter to see the effect of barrier repair.
Remember: dry skin care is a marathon, not a 100-meter sprint!
