Good evening~
After entering the winter, I always hear my friends say that their faces are dry and dry, and they always have a sense of tension... Do you feel the same way?
I myself become a jerky skin in the winter, and the skin on my body is very dry all year round, so I often go to study whether there is a good way to combat dryness. In the past two years, the concept of "nourishing the skin with oil" has been particularly popular, and I am also a heavy lover of oil, and I have been using skin care oils and body oils.
As early as the autumn began to slowly add oil products to the skin care process, this year the skin is still stable ~ people who have used oil know that its moisturizing and stability effect is not a general cream lotion can be replaced. ▼
Although I have recommended body oil and surface oil many times, I have found that when I hear the use of "oil", many people's first reaction is still: it feels very thick and heavy, and I am not a big dry skin, not suitable, right?
Actually, it's not
The oil that is easy to use is not thick, nor is it only suitable for large dry skins. As a person who has been using oil for many years, I have deeply experienced its benefits, and I do not allow you not to know its good haha.
But in response to everyone's doubts about "skin care oil", I combined my own experience, but also specially consulted a senior pharmacist, beauty ingredient expert Jia Hong, today to talk about "oil skin" why it is good, suitable for whom, how to do it~
1. What are the benefits of using oil?
1) The effect of softening and moisturizing the skin is very good.
After a few minutes or ten minutes, you can feel that your skin seems to have softened. This feeling is more pronounced when my skin is a little peeled and tight.
As I said when I wrote about body oil before, the first feeling of lotion and cream on the skin is "moist", which may dry out a little after a while; but the oil is different, it will make the skin become particularly soft and elastic after it is fully absorbed, and the ductility of the skin becomes very good. Use jenny's dry to peeling elbows as an example ~▼
2) The moisturizing and stability maintenance effect is particularly good
When I am sensitive to the change of seasons or irregular work and rest, and travel a lot, I will add oil to the skin care process, so as not to know when I will "rot my face". Because for me, the oil is like a "film" formed on the surface of the skin, adding a layer of "protective net" to the skin, the effect of moisturizing and maintaining stability is very good.
3) The skin is fine and translucent, and it is higher than before
As far as my own history of oil use is concerned, if I insist on using oil for two or three months, I will find that the skin is more delicate and translucent than before.
In fact, every time you use a little oil before makeup, it is not too much, and the contrast is not the difference of gloss. Look at the comparison chart of the assistant chick, is there a feeling of "skin faintly glowing" after using the oil ~ ▼
I specifically went to check why this effect is:
It has to do with the structure of our skin cell membranes. It is a double-layer lecithin structure, one end is hydrophilic and the other is oil-friendly, and the outer layer is more lipophilic.
Our commonly used skin care products, if they are water-soluble, require small molecules (relatively more expensive) to be fully absorbed; while oil molecules are generally smaller, the penetration is much better, and can penetrate into the cell space of our skin to make the skin more plump.
2. Who is suitable for oil? Is the usage the same for different skin types?
Everyone generally feels that dry skin is more suitable for oil, it is true, but the mixed oil skin and oil skin are not completely unusable, depending on whether the oil used is well absorbed and whether the formula is risky.
I asked about the skin type and use method of the small partners who are used to using oil in the studio, combined with my own experience, and summarized a few points:
1) Stack in cream, lotion, foundation
This is the entry-level oil-using method for most skin types
Creams that are not easy to push away, foundations that are not enough to fit, mix with one or two drops of oil, not only better to push, but also more moisturizing and long-lasting. Many summers have not used up a little bit of lotion cream, you can also add one or two drops to use ~▼
2) Use the "sealing film" in the last step of skin care every day
This method may be the best for lazy people.
After using the water, drop two drops of oil in the palm of your hand, first rub it in the palm of your hand, and then press it on your face to absorb it. The assistant chick 66 who mixed dry skin likes to use this way to skin care, and there is a faint oil film feeling on the face, but it will not be very oily ~ ▼
If you can adhere to this water + oil care every day, although routine, the effect will be better than intensive "oil packing" 1 to 2 times a week.
3) When used as a massage oil
I myself enjoy massages and regularly use oil to scrape Sha.
Some people say that massage may pull the skin, my observation is that the pulling situation is generally because of friction, with enough moisturizing, ductile and good enough oil, with a gentle lifting action, it is possible to reduce the pulling feeling to a very low level.
The point is that many people now have bigger skin problems with poor circulation and "a bit of a blockage."
Sometimes acne and puffiness are caused by this, so under the premise of reducing pulling, it can still be massaged.
Massage techniques can refer to the "trilogy" in our skin care master class, simple and fast, three lines, each line 5-8 lifts ~ ▼
Attention! The oil used for massage has requirements for the ductility of the oil, preferably moist enough, but the ductility is good enough and not thick.
If it is used for massage, the amount of oil will be relatively more, you can try to wash your face without wiping water, directly oil, massage and then gently dip off the excess oil, the effect is better.
4) Oil application
In the past two years, the "oil application method" is very popular, if it is a large dry skin, lazy to use oil care every day, oil application is a good intensive repair method. After applying it, there will be a feeling of plenty of oil and water, it looks white and tender, the gloss is particularly good, and the ability to continue moisturizing is also good.
The "oil packing method" mainly uses wet compresses, masks and other methods to infiltrate the oily ingredients. Wendy of the studio likes to use a steamer to promote the subsequent absorption of the oil. ▼
Attention! This method is not suitable for everyone, because it belongs to the "big supplement" type, and it is more suitable for desert skin and large dry skin. The number of uses is not too much, 1 or 2 times a week can be used.
3. How to choose better?
There are several kinds of oils used for the face, from pure vegetable oils on one side to oils that combine several components, and some "oils" are actually "water and oil combination".
When we choose, we mainly look at two points▼
1. There are no mineral oils and silicone oils in the formula.
Some essential oils will add chemical oils such as mineral oil and silicone oil, mineral oil has a risk of acne, and silicone oil if improper daily cleaning, it is easy to remain on the surface of the skin, to a certain extent, clogging pores.
2. Under the premise of safe ingredients, try to choose a good skin feeling.
After all, this is the factor that determines whether we love it or not. The criterion for judging is to see that what is left behind is a thin, moist and non-oily oil film.
In the newly used oil, the impression is still good is the "East Beast" Reishi Repair Essence Oil, which is also the most popular domestic essential oil recently. ▼
This brand is currently relatively niche, with only 3 core products. Their development team is Dr. Yanjing Bai, former Chief Scientist of L'Oréal China Innovative Raw Materials R&D Center.
The whole brand specializes in "Oriental Herbs" products, hoping to use plant herbal extracts to cultivate healthy, pleasant and strong skin, although it takes a little longer, but it can minimize the damage of chemical ingredients to the skin. I still quite agree with this kind of "long-termism"
Reishi essential oil is their main product. ▼
The first time I heard that it was a small partner said, Kaka you try, this is a new batch of "noble ladies in domestic products". I also thought, how expensive the lady is, checked the price, more than four hundred pieces, it is really not cheap.
With the mentality of "I would like to see why it dares to sell so expensive" (after all, many domestic products are now cheap and easy to use) after a period of time, and after understanding its ingredients, I think this oil is still worth seeing.
Our studio partners of different skin types tried it out and agreed that it is especially suitable for small partners with mixed dry skin and large dry skin.
Fox (dry leather):
If I don't apply something immediately after washing my face in winter, it's like someone pulling on both sides of my face, and the kind of tightness that feels like it's going to crack when you laugh. After rhinitis is committed, the skin of the nose on both sides of the rub is peeled off, and it will moisturize a lot after use. I applied it at night before going to bed, and the next morning my face was only tender
Dora (mixed dry skin):
Use before makeup in the morning, the weather is colder some days ago, the face is easy to get stuck with skin, and after using the makeup is more obedient~
Jenny (unisex skin):
Usually only apply water or cream, in contrast, with it can be clearly felt that the skin can maintain moisture for a longer period of time, throughout the day will not feel dry face.
Just said that if the skin care oil ingredients are not good, it is easy to cause a burden on the skin, I am not an ingredient expert myself, so I specifically asked Jia hong teacher, its formula is good or not, where is it good.
His answer was: ▼
"This complex is a conventional essential oil formula, which should have a good barrier repair and red reduction effect."
Let's take a closer look at what its ingredients are
Inside this oil are 9 plant essential oils, each with its own responsible effect.
Highlight their core ingredient, Reishi oil, as I've hardly seen it in other skincare oils.
The "Ganoderma lucidum triterpenes" in it can help anti-inflammatory, calming, anti-aging, in short, it can quickly enhance the barrier repair ability of our skin. But because this ingredient is very difficult to extract, it is difficult to ensure activity, so it uses a concentration of 30% of the reishi oil (which is not cheap). ▼
Another very important ingredient is the white pond flower seed oil that many big brands love to use, which is responsible for anti-aging, can also repair barrier damage, and the skin feeling is relatively refreshing
Other vegetable oils include camellia oil, which is responsible for antioxidants, squalane, which is a classic moisturizing and repairing sebaceous film, and so on. From the composition point of view, it is a more comprehensive repair and anti-aging essence oil ~ ~ ~ ~
Let's talk about the sense of use~
Even the founding team itself is very "honest", saying that in order to ensure that the effects of pure natural vegetable oils are maximized, some skin sensations are sacrificed. I was mentally prepared when I saw this sentence – could it be thick?
After using it, I found that there was no well~
Not only is the liquidity very good▼
After full massage and absorption, it will only leave a very light oil film feeling, which is a very normal skin feeling after using up the oil
I prefer this feeling of having a light oil film feeling, and I feel very grounded in my heart, and I feel that I am protected. It is a completely herbal flavor, without the flavor and the oil-consuming taste that many oils would have.
This "Chinese style" big red packaging is very gripping, and the bottle design is also very geometric. ▼
But when you get it in hand, you know that it is an environmentally friendly packaging with a "replaceable core".
The first time I saw this kind of shell and liner separate packaging eh ~ the oil inside can be used up can directly buy the inner tank, the shell can be used continuously, their "long-term" concept is also reflected in the packaging ~
It's assembled like this.▼
A word of warning! This combination of packaging should be more careful about the way of opening and closing, when using it is twisted open, oh, try to completely twist open the bottle cap and then pull out. ▼
Honestly, "oil" is not a "face change" skin care product, its skin conditioning is subtle, slow but stable. In the past two years, I have increasingly believed in the term "long-termism", not only in life and work, but also in skin care. Any conditioning and repair needs a cycle to see results, and over time it will find different
If you also want to start conditioning your skin, try this oil.
