Hi, I'm a koala who wants to be beautiful with you.~
Girls on the road to skin care is getting longer and longer, especially after the emergence of short videos, more and more "skin care concepts" have been widely disseminated, which has led to many ordinary people's skin care become more difficult: according to these concepts of skin care, the skin is not more and more protective, but the more protected the worse.
Especially some skin care operations, others seem to be very reasonable, but in practice, they find that you will cause skin damage and have no real positive effect.
In this issue, Koala will give you an inventory of 3 common skin care "pseudo-concepts", many people are doing it, no wonder the skin is getting worse and worse!
Skincare Pseudo Concept One: Deep Cleansing
I believe that many girls should be very familiar with the word deep cleansing, and will do deep cleaning every week or every half a month, just to prevent problems such as closed mouth acne on their faces, but this is not a real skin care concept.
Many people think that acne is because of clogged pores, first of all, to understand that pore clogging is because there is no way to normally discharge without becoming old waste keratin, also known as horn plugs, general cleaning products are no way to completely dissolve it.
It is important to know that the so-called deep cleansing stays on the surface of the cuticle of the skin, has a certain effect, and has almost no effect on the pores. It can even be said that excessive frequent cleaning will lead to damage to the skin barrier, thereby destroying the skin's original moisturizing ability, and then there are some emergency reactions, such as more oil secretion, from the normal skin state to oily skin, it is more likely to have acne.
In life, many products have some residual things, which will affect the metabolism of the normal stratum corneum of the skin and will also aggravate the clogging of pores.
In daily skin care, the cleansing of the skin can be done with gentle products, and if it is oily skin, oil-controlling products can also be used appropriately, which can be combined with the payment of skin taxes in daily life, thus helping to improve the problem of clogged pores.
Pseudo-concept skincare two: constantly hydrate
The most basic skin care concept is to hydrate the skin and ensure the balance of water and oil, so many girls will choose some with hydrating and moisturizing effects when choosing basic skin care products, or choose masks, and also need to retain the most basic hydration and moisturizing. It seems that hydration is too important for girls, but there is a pseudo-concept of hydration.
It is important to understand that the skin has not reached that state of dehydration, the stratum corneum of the skin has moisture from the dermis layer, and the moisture in the dermis layer accounts for about 70% of the total amount in the human body, that is to say, the water content of the skin in the uppermost stratum corneum is about 20%.
So according to this line of thinking, the dehydration of the skin is almost non-existent, but there is a wrong way of skin care, that is, excessive use of cleaning, or no attention to sun protection and moisturizing, stimulated by the external environment, resulting in the original moisturizing function of the skin declining, resulting in the skin becoming rough and dry.
The vast majority of girls feel that the skin is relatively dry, there are already some stinging, the first is to choose the mask, and the mask will make the skin cuticle hydration ability increase rapidly, thereby solving the problem of dryness, but only for a short time, and the moisture in the mask is only stopped in the stratum corneum, and does not really enter the bottom layer of the skin.
So whether it's the basic toner used or the mask, it briefly changes the hydration capacity of the stratum corneum without playing a hydrating role. If you want to improve the problem of dry skin, or to enhance the moisturizer, choose some creams or lotions and essential oils will absorb better, so that the moisturizing function is improved.
Pseudo-concept skincare three: skin care product absorption problems
I believe that many girls have a feeling that the skin care products used are as if they are not absorbed. At this time, it will be felt that the cuticle layer of the skin is too thick, and when it comes to exfoliating, the mask is constantly applied to promote the absorption of the skin. It is this kind of thinking that leads to a skincare myth that having a feeling of absorption does not equal complete absorption.
In the impression of many people, the so-called moist feeling, clear is the absorption, and some oils or creams are always considered to be difficult to absorb, as if they are filmed on the surface, but this idea is only personal subjectivity, which is a feeling formed. A feeling produced by skin care products is actually that the moisture in skin care products has evaporated, so there is a certain skin surface layer, and the refreshing feeling and absorption are completely different.
Never blindly want the skin to absorb, and use exfoliation methods, such as some scrubs, and some products that promote the metabolism of old waste keratin. Blind use, blind pursuit of an absorption, will only lead to the state of the skin become worse, especially some dry skin and sensitive skin, restoring the skin barrier is the right problem, rather than blindly promoting the absorption of the skin.
