Different skin types have different skin care emphasis

Beauty and skin care is an important part of many people's daily life. However, in the face of the dazzling array of skin care products on the market, how to choose products suitable for your skin has become a big problem. Here's a detailed introduction to how to choose suitable beauty and skin care products for different skin types.

Dry skin: Hydration and moisturization are key

People with dry skin often feel that their skin is tight and dry, and it is easy to peel off in changing seasons or dry environment. Just like a dry desert is in urgent need of water and nutrients to nourish. In autumn and winter, their skin is dry and makeup is easy to get stuck.

When cleansing, a gentle amino acid cleanser is the first choice for dry skin, cleansing without breaking the moisturizing barrier. Choose toner to moisturize heavily. Products containing hyaluronic acid and glycerin can help skin replenish water quickly. Don't miss the essence containing hyaluronic acid and ceramide, which can lock in moisture. Lotions and creams with high moisturizing degree, containing squalane and lanolin can form a protective film after application to prevent water loss.

Oily skin: Oil control and refreshment are the key points

People with oily skin seem to be unable to get rid of the trouble of shiny faces all the time, especially in the T-area, where problems such as enlarged pores, frequent acne and frequent blackheads go hand in hand. The whole face is like a "big oil field" that continuously flows out of oil, which is really annoying. Every summer, friends with oily skin go out for less than half an hour, and their faces will have a bright shine, which greatly affects their image.

When cleaning skin care, it is very important to choose cleansing products. Those with strong and gentle cleaning power are the "saviors" of oily skin, such as those containing salicylic acid and tea tree essential oil, which can deeply clean oil and dirt without irritating skin. Choose toner, which contains salicylic acid and witch hazel ingredients, and pat lightly to help shrink pores and control oil. Essence should be selected to control oil and regulate sebum secretion, such as those containing niacinamide, which can reduce oil and refresh skin. Lotions and creams should be light and gel-like, so there is no burden after applying, and say goodbye to stickiness.

Normal skin: maintaining stability and balance is the key point

Normal skin can be called the "model" of skin texture, and it is the ideal state that everyone dreams of. It has neither the shine of oily skin nor the dryness and tightness of dry skin. The skin is delicate and smooth, and it always exudes natural luster, just like a delicate flower that has been carefully cared for and cared for in a greenhouse. But even if it is naturally beautiful, daily maintenance is also indispensable if neutral skin wants to maintain this superiority for a long time.

As far as cleaning is concerned, gentle and non-irritating cleansing products are its excellent partner, which can effectively clean facial dust and dirt without breaking the original balance of skin. The selection of toner doesn't need to be too complicated. Conventional hydrating products can meet the needs. Between tapping, water slowly penetrates, injecting fresh vitality into the skin. The choice of essence is relatively flexible, depending on personal needs. If you expect your skin to be moist and plump at all times, then essence rich in hyaluronic acid is the best choice; If you yearn to fight against the invasion of years and make your skin as firm as ever, the essence containing vitamin C can carry the banner of antioxidation. Lotion and cream, products with moderate texture are the most suitable, which just helps the skin to maintain the balance of water and oil and continue this natural beauty.

Combination skin: Zoning care is the trick

People with mixed skin are like "contradictory bodies". The T-area (forehead, nose, chin) has a strong oil secretion, which seems to bring their own "oil-producing machine", but their cheeks are dry. In summer, the T zone is oily and shiny, and the cheeks are obviously thirsty; In winter, my cheeks are drier, and the oil in T-zone is slightly slower.

When cleaning, use strong cleaning products to clear pores, oil and dirt in the T area, and use gentle protective barrier in the U area (cheeks); Toning, the T zone uses oil control to "reduce fire", and the U zone uses moisturizing to hydrate; Essence division, T area oil control accurately suppresses oil, U area moisturizing like applying a "nourishing mask"; Lotion cream is also divided into zones. In the T zone, choose light, moisturizing and non-oily ones, and in the U zone, choose high moisturizing and water-locking ones.

Sensitive skin: gentle soothing is at the heart

Sensitive skin, like delicate baby muscles, is fragile and prone to redness, swelling, itching and tingling. Daily care should be extra careful. New skin care products may make the skin "sound the alarm" and cause discomfort.

When cleaning, cleansing products must be mild and non-irritating. Those containing alcohol, spices and fruit acids are "minefields", which can easily trigger skin "overreaction"; Toner contains soothing and anti-allergic ingredients such as purslane and licorice extract, which is the "gentle shield" of the skin; The essence contains squalane, purslane extract and other repairing ingredients, which can repair the skin barrier; Lotions and creams must be repaired, moisturizing and sensitivity tested, and put "protective armor" on the skin.
