"I apply skin care products every day, but why is it still not effective?"

Many sisters have asked this question-it is important to choose the right product and use the right dosage, but "when to apply it" is actually more critical!

Skincare also hides "golden time"! Do a good job in care at these two time points, and the anti-aging and moisturizing effects will be doubled directly, which is much more effective than applying casually:

Before 7: 00 a.m.: Do a good job of "protection" and don't let your skin "streak" out

After sleeping all night, the skin will lose water and secrete oil, and you have to deal with ultraviolet rays and dust when you go out in the morning. Therefore, the core of skin care is "cleaning + moisturizing + sun protection", and all three steps are indispensable!

1. Clean: Use a mild facial cleanser, don't over-clean

In the morning, the skin doesn't secrete much oil, so you don't need to use those facial cleansers with strong oil control. You can choose a mild amino acid facial cleanser. When using it, use the size of soybeans, rub foam on your hands and apply it to your face, gently rub it for 30 seconds, and then rinse it with warm water.

attention ⚠ ️ Don't rub it for too long, or it will wash off the protective film of the skin itself.

2. Moisturizing: Mainly light and thin, don't affect makeup

First, pat enough toner to keep your skin moist, then apply a layer of light moisturizing essence (such as hyaluronic acid essence), and continue to apply lotion (oily skin/mixed skin) or light cream (dry skin). After applying, your skin feels moist, but it doesn't stick to your hands.

attention ⚠ ️ Don't apply it too thickly, otherwise the subsequent makeup will rub mud.

3. Sun protection: Even if you don't go out, you should apply it!

This is the most easily overlooked step for all of us!

Many sisters will say, "I won't go out today, so I'll stay at home. Don't I wear sunscreen today?"

Actually, this is wrong! Ultraviolet rays will still shine into the home through the glass, which will make the skin spot and age in the long run! So even if you don't go out or work outdoors, you should wear sunscreen! Just choose SPF 30 and PA + + + sunscreen for daily use. The dosage is the size of a coin at a time, and it should be applied to the whole face + neck.

attention ⚠ ️ Wait 5 minutes after applying makeup. Don't be lazy. Sun protection is a very important step in anti-aging and whitening!

After 10 pm: Do a good job of "repair" and let the skin "work" well.

From 10 pm to 2 am, it is the "golden period" of our skin repair. At this time, the skin metabolism is the fastest and the ability to absorb nutrients is also the strongest.

Therefore, the focus of skin care at night is "deep cleaning + nutritional supplement":

1. Cleaning: Be sure to remove makeup after makeup, don't sleep with makeup

This is the basic bottom line! No matter how late or tired, as long as you put on makeup, you must remove it 。 Remove your makeup with a cleansing oil/makeup balm first, and then a second cleansing with a face cleanser. Don't remove it directly with facial cleanser, so it won't be removed cleanly at all, and the remaining makeup will block pores and close your mouth.

2. Nutrition: Choose "heavyweight" skin care products to help skin repair

When trying skin care products at night, don't be afraid of heaviness, but "feed nutrition" to your skin.

After applying enough toner, first apply functional essence (such as anti-aging and repair), and then apply cream thickly-cream for dry skin and cream for oily skin.

If your skin is particularly dry, you can also add 1 drop of essence oil to the cream, mix it well and put it on your face, and the water-locking effect is even better!

3. Don't stay up late! No matter how expensive skin care is, it is better to go to bed early

Many sisters stay up late to brush their mobile phones after applying expensive skin care products-this is actually busy work in vain! Skin has to be repaired in deep sleep. Staying up late will disrupt its metabolism. Even if you apply more skin care products, the effect will be discounted.

Try to go to bed before 11 o'clock. Don't stare at your mobile phone if you really can't sleep. Close your eyes and let your skin "work" well, which is 10 times more effective than applying an extra layer of cream!

Sisters, remember: don't just "go through the process" of skin care! Find the right time and use the right method, even cheap skin care products can raise good skin. Anti-aging never depends on one or two beauty salon projects, but on "little persistence" at home every day-do these details well, and you will find that your skin is getting better and better!
