Recently, the European Union revised the regulations on cosmetics, mentioning that the concentration of vitamin A alcohol is limited to 0.3%, including more than 1% kojic acid, more than 2% α-arbutin, more than 7% arbutin... The news that the new regulations are expected to take effect by the end of this year quickly made the hot search.

It was once said that most of the stratum corneum of the skin of Europeans and Americans is thick and resistant, and now even they are slowly limiting the concentration of fierce drugs.
Compared with Europeans and Americans, the skin barrier of Asians is more fragile, can not withstand major stimulation, and cannot forcibly use European and American strong drugs. Otherwise, the anti-aging whitening effect has not been achieved, but the skin has "done" badly.
What is the difference between the skin of Europeans and Asians, and how should we Chinese women take care of their delicate skin?
Today, we will start from the four aspects of sun protection, cleaning, whitening and anti-aging, and bring you more suitable products for Asian babies (remember to slide to the end of the article and check the summary picture of good things).
01
Eurasian skin differences
First according to the classification of Fitzpatrick skin classification, it is divided into six categories. It is generally believed that European and American populations are mainly type I. and II., and Asian populations mostly belong to type III and IV.
In comparison, the lighter the skin color, the more susceptible to photoaging damage, which is why we often find that in the skin aging dimension, facial wrinkles appear earlier in Europe and the United States than Asian people. (It is estimated that this may be an important reason for the birth of many fierce drug brands in Europe and the United States, because people's anti-wrinkle and anti-aging are just needed ^-^.) ）

From most of the literature, Asians compared with Caucasian populations (European and Americans) in the facial skeleton and structure: relatively speaking, we are flatter and wider, so Asian people in the skin aging dimension tear troughs, nasolabial folds will appear earlier, contours appear sagging, and at the same time more prone to dull skin tone and other problems.
At the same time, the incorrect work and rest (staying up late), irregular diet, and various negative emotions of modern people may further cause excessive free radicals, further cause inflammatory reactions, and aggravate pigmentation and other problems.
Therefore, Asian people should first do a good job of sun protection, and in the aging dimension, they can first pay attention to facial sagging, tear troughs, nasolabial folds, etc., and at the same time pay attention to the appearance of dull skin tone and spots.
Second, The Estée Lauder Companies published research in 2010.
The team compared differences in skin barrier and stratum corneum parameters among 73 African-Americans, 119 Caucasians, and 149 East Asians.
The researchers analyzed data by stripping the tape to measure the total protein content on the tape, the ceramide content in the sample, and the degradable stratum corneum adhesion cell enzyme (peeling-related enzyme content).
Analyzed from the results of the experiment on skin barrier strength (defined as the amount of tape peeled off required to destroy the barrier, see figure above): African American skin needs the most peeling times, indicating that this racial group has the strongest barrier function.
The skin of the Caucasus population needs to be peeled in the middle, while the skin of the East Asian population with the most fragile barrier is the lowest.
Recall that European and American consumers are willing to have high content of vitamin A alcohol and vitamin C, while most of the domestic partners have tingling and bursting skin after use, which may also be closely related to the strength of the innate skin barrier.
Therefore, Asian people are more recommended to be gentle and advanced in the dimension of whitening effect and anti-aging effect to avoid the destruction of the barrier, and it is also recommended that friends do not blindly follow when choosing skin care products.

Basic care for Asian women
Sun protection
It is said that "raising children does not prevent aging, sun protection prevents aging", ultraviolet damage to the skin is cumulative, especially in Asian people, prone to dull skin tone, spots problems; Therefore, although sun protection guidelines are a cliché, let's talk about it. ^-^

HOWEVER, THE MOST COMMON THING IN LIFE IS THE FOUR WORDS (NO ZUO NO DIE), SO REALLY DON'T FOLLOW THE TREND AND BUY SKIN CARE PRODUCTS THAT ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR YOUR OWN SKIN TYPE.
To solve the problem of sensitive skin, the first thing is to combine your own situation in daily life, reduce the various factors that cause skin sensitivity, and reduce the recurrence of sensitive symptoms from the source.
When the skin appears red, itchy, tingling, etc., it is mainly based on calming and soothing products, and at the same time blessing and repair, so it is the most important thing to lay the basic plate of the skin and strengthen the "city wall".
