Walking on the road in recent days,

When the autumn wind blows,

Face instantly dry to tightness.

Only then did I remember: Oh, it's time to use cream!

Many friends are very attentive to skin care,

Essence, mask and ampoule do not fall,

But one step is often overlooked-cream.

Why do you have to use cream in autumn and winter?

If skin care is to "build a house" for the skin, then the previous steps such as essence and toner are equivalent to bricks and cement, which is the foundation. Cream is like a roof, which can lock the water and nutrients added before, and block the cold wind and dryness from the outside world.

A house without a roof, no matter how many bricks and tiles there are, can't stand the wind and rain.

Especially in autumn and winter, the temperature drops, the air humidity drops, and the secretion of skin oil decreases. Coupled with the large temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, the influence of heating and air conditioning, the skin is more prone to dryness, peeling, sensitivity and even dry lines.

The core function of cream is to moisturize and lock water, forming a protective film on the skin surface, slowing down the loss of water and making your skin care results last longer.

Cream vs. Lotion, what's the difference?

Many people ask: Is it OK to choose between lotion and cream?

Simply put, the lotion is mainly hydrating and has a light texture; The cream mainly locks moisture and has a rich texture.

If skin is compared to a cup, lotion is to pour water into the cup, while cream is to add a lid to the cup to prevent water from evaporating.

"Lotion + Cream" Combination

In autumn and winter, it is recommended to use the combination of "lotion + cream". First, the lotion replenishes water, and then the cream locks water. If you have oily skin and feel too heavy, you can only use cream at night, or choose refreshing cream.

How to choose the right cream for you?

Dry skin: Choose a moisturizing cream with high oil content

Oily skin: Opt for a refreshing, lightweight cream

Sensitive skin: Choose a repairing cream with simple ingredients and no fragrance and alcohol

You don't need to pursue expensive products, the key is to suit you. Just like picking a coat, keeping warm and comfortable is more important than the brand.

A few tips for using cream

· Take an appropriate amount on the palm, rub it to warm and press it on the face to promote absorption

· Apply from the inside out, starting at the driest part of your cheeks

· Massage properly when applying to relieve facial tightness

Skincare is a lasting practice. Don't wait until the skin has a problem to remedy it. From now on, spend an extra two minutes a day applying the cream to give your skin an extra layer of protection.

This winter, may your skin remain moist and plump.
