The skin care products referred to in this article are limited to skin repair, moisturizing, anti-aging, antioxidant and other daily care products, excluding cleaning, sun protection and cosmetics used to embellish and beautify the image.
Damaged skin often encounters a situation that is difficult to balance between damage repair and daily care and maintenance, and most people with damaged skin will continue to use regular skin care products indiscriminately, or mix daily skin care products with repair products, which may continue to aggravate skin damage problems and affect the repair effect. Therefore, we need to discuss whether people with damaged skin should use skin care products in addition to normal repair, and how to choose and use these skin care products correctly.
The Magisches element's Guidelines for The Care of Troubled Skins cite 16 causes of damage to the skin barrier, one of which is overuse of skincare products. Excessive use of skin care products generally refers to the use of too many kinds of skin care products each time skin care and maintenance, repeatedly superimposed on the skin; or the use of a single skin care product is too large, exceeding the recommended use of skin care product manufacturers; or the frequency of use of skin care products is too high, beyond the recommended frequency of skin care products manufacturers. A significant proportion of the damaged skin we receive on a daily basis has the problem of overuse of skin care products, which also makes their road to repair full of twists and turns.
Therefore, before repairing damaged skin, people with damaged skin should be aware of the harm of excessive use of skin care products, and avoid repeating similar mistakes in the process of repairing damage and in daily skin care after repair.
Usually, consumers will carefully select a variety of skin care products for their skin, including toners, serums, serums, creams, eye serums, eye creams and so on. In order to achieve the various effects they need or to pursue better and faster skin care results, consumers may use multiple essences or other skin care products of the same type at a time, which consumes a lot of time and energy.
Stacking multiple skin care products will first cause the skin with limited absorption capacity to be under a lot of pressure, affecting the normal metabolic function of the skin, and seriously leading to clogged pores, poor oil secretion, the formation of pimples, acne, and even dermatitis. Especially for sensitive skin, stacking too many skincare products also means that the skin will be subject to more sensitization and damage risk.
Secondly, there may be interactions between the ingredients of different skin care products, resulting in adverse effects on the skin. For example: (1) The superimposed use of skin care products may make the same type and same effect of ingredients in different skin care products exceed the range that the skin can bear, such as several skin care products containing fruit acid, enzymes, salicylic acid, high concentration vc and other ingredients, which have a certain exfoliating effect, and the use of skin care products containing these ingredients alone in a short period of time may not have a significant impact on healthy skin. However, when consumers use them in stacks, their corrosive effect on keratin will exceed the range that the skin can withstand, and long-term use will thin the stratum corneum of healthy skin, thus endangering the skin barrier function. There are many similar situations, including preservatives, pigments, flavors and other additives after the dose of a variety of skin care products stacked beyond the normal range, may also cause skin discomfort.
(2) Chemical reactions may occur between different skin care ingredients, increasing the risk of skin damage. For example, the simultaneous superposition of niacinamide and high-concentration acid components may lead to the decomposition of niacinamide into niacin, increasing the irritation to the skin. (3) When the two ingredients are superimposed, they will cancel each other out, so that the ingredients that gain the skin will lose their effect, which will affect the effect of repair and related care. For example, alcohol (ethanol) destroys the components of proteins. There is also vc is redox, encountering repair components such as blue copper peptides, which will cause copper ions to be reduced and fail, destroying the repair effect of such repair components. There are many more examples of interactions between different ingredients, and we will mention in the next article that consumers should continue to accumulate relevant knowledge to avoid similar situations when choosing and using skin care products.
After understanding the excessive use of skin care products and the fact that the interaction between ingredients in skin care products may have adverse effects on the skin, people with damaged skin should also identify their damaged areas, divide their skin, and select skin care products for targeted care for damaged and non-damaged areas. Most of the damage in the damaged skin we came into contact with was concentrated in the cheeks, and the damage to other areas was not obvious. In this case, the area of the face should be simply divided into two parts of the damaged cheeks and other skin that are not damaged, and these two parts are subject to daily care separately.
After partitioning, the damaged part of the skin should be repaired with the goal of repairing the damaged skin, using a streamlined care approach to care for the damaged skin, avoiding or reducing the use of cosmetics and non-repair skin care products in the damaged area. When choosing skin care products, it should be based on gentle and non-irritating products that repair damaged keratin and barrier function. At present, the mainstream repair ingredients have the following categories: (1) soothe sensitive discomfort and stabilize the skin state, such as purslane, allantoin, dipotassium glycyrrhizinate, bisabolol, etc.; (2) supplement the skin keratin interstitium, strengthen the skin barrier, such as ceramides, squalane, hyaluronic acid, various animal and plant oils, etc.; (3) repair damaged keratin, promote keratin proliferation, such as centella asiaticarin, vitamin b5, oligopeptides, polysaccharides, etc.; (4) improve the beneficial flora on the surface of the damaged skin, such as inulin, Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, etc. People with damaged skin can choose repair products according to their own damage causes and degree of damage, and use them in a combination way, and the repair effect will be more guaranteed.
In addition to repair, consumers with less damage can also appropriately use some mild anti-aging and antioxidant skin care products in the damaged area, such as natural fish roe nutritional essences, which have both anti-aging and antioxidant effects, and can also give certain help in repairing damage. Now some of the newly developed advanced skin care ingredients have many repair, anti-aging, antioxidant and other multiple effects, which is a good choice for people with damaged skin. For example, the German gipk extracted from the polar salt algae pxe glucoside is a representative of this type of ingredient, not only has a good role in repairing damaged keratin and barrier, long-term use can also delay skin aging and wrinkles, but also has a good antioxidant effect. In addition, while using repair products, the damaged part of the skin also needs to pay special attention to and strengthen the moisturizing of the damaged skin, and the damaged skin should choose the moisturizing products suitable for the damaged skin according to the dryness of the skin and the season, the environment and other factors to cooperate with the repair. However, it should be noted that too many skin care products should not be stacked on the damaged area, so as not to increase the burden on the damaged skin and cause the damage problem to increase.
Non-damaged areas of skin can be selected according to different skin types and skin conditions. When choosing and using skin care products, moisturizing should be taken as the most basic need for skin care, follow the principle of simplicity and moderation, aim to maintain long-term health of the skin and delay skin aging, and act according to their own economic situation, without excessive pursuit of big-name and popular products. Consumers, both damaged and non-damaged, should avoid overuse of skin care products, should not change their skin care products frequently, and should not use high-risk skin care products in pursuit of rapid care results.
