Journey skin care misunderstandings revealed

Many people think that the mask is the "savior" of the skin. When the skin is in bad condition during travel, they apply the mask every day, hoping to quickly restore the moisture of the skin. But in fact, the skin's ability to absorb nutrients is limited. Excessive application of mask will make the stratum corneum of the skin excessively hydrated, just like a soaked sponge, losing its original elasticity and barrier function, and may also cause acne, redness and other problems.

The correct way is to apply the mask 2-3 times a week, 15-20 minutes each time, so that the skin has enough time to absorb the nutrients in the mask and repair itself.

Moisturizing spray is small and portable, and many people will take it out and spray it anytime and anywhere during the journey, thinking that this can keep their skin moist at all times. However, if the water is not locked in time after spraying the moisturizing spray, the water will take away the water on the skin surface when it evaporates, making the skin drier.

Therefore, when using moisturizing spray, it should be 20-30 cm away from the face, press the nozzle, spray for about 3 seconds, then wait 1 minute to let the skin fully absorb the water, then gently press with a cotton pad to absorb excess water, and finally apply moisturizing lotion or cream to lock in the water.

During the journey, the skin is easily contaminated with dust and oil, and some people feel that it is necessary to clean it thoroughly to make the skin clean and refreshing. However, excessive cleaning will destroy the barrier function of the skin, lead to the loss of moisture in the skin, become dry and sensitive, and may also cause problems such as red blood and acne.

No matter what skin type it is, just clean your face once a day in the morning and evening. Choose gentle cleansing products, avoid using facial cleansers with too strong cleansing power, and don't use exfoliating products frequently to keep the barrier function of your skin intact.

When many people apply sunscreen, they just apply it casually, thinking that they can protect against the sun as long as they apply it. But in fact, the application method and dosage of sunscreen are very important. If the application is uneven or the dosage is insufficient, effective sunscreen effect cannot be achieved.

When applying sunscreen, take an appropriate amount of sunscreen, apply it evenly on the exposed skin of face, neck, arms, legs, etc., and gently massage until completely absorbed. Generally speaking, an amount the size of a dollar coin needs to be applied to the face, and 30-50 ml needs to be applied to the whole body. Apply sunscreen 15-30 minutes before going out, so that the sunscreen can form a protective film on the skin surface. Every 2-3 hours, you need to reapply sunscreen, especially after sweating, swimming or wiping sweat.
