What is the function of stratum corneum? The most solid protector of the skin.

What we usually talk about most is exfoliation. We often complain that the stratum corneum is too thin and the skin is always red and bloodshot, but we don't know that the stratum corneum plays an important role in the skin. Let me show you what the stratum corneum does. The most solid protector of the skin.

What effect does cuticle of skin have?

Facial stratum corneum is located in the outermost layer of skin, which is the natural barrier of human body and plays an extremely important role in human body. Although the stratum corneum is very thin, only one hundredth of a millimeter thick, it controls the metabolism and protection of the skin. The stratum corneum not only has immune function, but also has great significance for keeping skin moist and not dry.

Facial stratum corneum is like a natural protective layer of skin. Thinning the stratum corneum will reduce the skin's immunity. When the skin immunity declines, slight stimulation such as ultraviolet rays, pollen and dust will cause skin allergy, and in severe cases, the symptoms will worsen and recur for a long time. The ability of skin with thin stratum corneum to defend against ultraviolet rays will be greatly weakened, which is easy to form spots; In addition, the thin stratum corneum is prone to red blood.

Three nursing methods make the stratum corneum firm.

Cover the stratum corneum.

After the skin care step, at least apply sunscreen to block environmental factors that may damage the stratum corneum. It is recommended to apply foundation when going out in winter to increase the protection of stratum corneum, which can better protect the skin.

Let the stratum corneum actively renew.

The basis of healthy stratum corneum is normal metabolic renewal, and new keratinocytes have stronger ability to resist external damage. We often feel that the skin in winter is particularly dull and dull, which is the result of slow metabolism of stratum corneum and excessive accumulation of dead skin. Therefore, it is very important to actively promote the active renewal of stratum corneum.

Regular use of massage products for exercise can promote the layer-by-layer movement of skin bottom cells and help stratum corneum cells to get rid of the old and welcome the new. It should be noted that the stratum corneum should be filled with water after exercise, and the stratum corneum in a wet and soft state can remain young and energetic.

Replenish stratum corneum.

The stratum corneum also needs "winter tonic" to improve its resistance in winter. Amino acids, minerals and other skin-friendly ingredients can help generate healthy stratum corneum cells, promote the barrier function of stratum corneum, and protect the skin from various stimuli.

In addition, adding proper amount of oil can strengthen the protective effect of sebum film on stratum corneum, so that stratum corneum can be fully moistened and relieved, and dry and desquamated stratum corneum can be effectively repaired.

In which peeling is not required.

Although the stratum corneum has some shortcomings, some skin is unnecessary or impossible to exfoliate.

Young skin

Healthy and young skin has a youthful luster, and the metabolism of keratinocytes is normal, so it is completely unnecessary to exfoliate. Even if you look tired occasionally or get tanned, you can recover quickly as long as you have a good rest.

Acne acne skin

Excessive cutin in acne skin is limited to excessive cell horns in sebaceous ducts of hair follicles, and other skin metabolism is normal, so special exfoliation is not needed, and only special acne products are needed to dredge the accumulation of cutin in pores, resist bacteria and diminish inflammation. In addition, the skin around acne is sensitive, and exfoliating products are easy to stimulate and aggravate the outbreak of acne.

Bloodshot red skin

Whether it is dry or oily red blood skin, the epidermis is very thin, and it is easy to be allergic to the stimulation of external invasion. Don't exfoliate such skin, even if the skin test has an old cuticle.

How to exfoliate correctly

1, exfoliating oily skin

MM with oily skin can use cleansing products containing exfoliating ingredients to promote keratin metabolism by daily cleaning. It is also a good way to regulate keratin with lotion. When in use, it can be wiped with a cotton pad to easily take away the old cells in the epidermis. If you use special exfoliating products, you can exfoliate 1-2 times a week as appropriate.

2, dry skin exfoliation

For women with dry skin, it is best not to exfoliate frequently, nor to choose products with too strong effect. Accurately speaking, the exfoliation frequency of dry skin should be maintained once every two weeks, and the exfoliation products with smaller particles should be selected. In addition, you must moisturize in time after exfoliation, and applying a mask is a good choice!

3, neutral skin exfoliation

MM with neutral skin actually does not need exfoliation, because the skin has good metabolism and beautiful keratin arrangement. It is really unnecessary to exfoliate with external force. If the skin condition is dull sometimes because of the influence of the external environment, you can exfoliate it as appropriate.

In addition, it is recommended not to use abrasive products with large irritation, so as to avoid scraping little red dot on flawless skin. Gel exfoliating products can be used to gently wipe off a thin layer of keratin.

4, mixed skin exfoliation

For MM with mixed skin, cleansing oil containing exfoliating ingredients can be used, so that the dry position can be protected by its oiliness, quickly dissolve the accumulated keratin in pores, and clear the way for the skin to absorb nutrients in the next step. Mixed skin exfoliates once a week or so.

5, sensitive skin exfoliation

Sensitive skin is not suitable for exfoliating products with scrub, and exfoliating mask or cream should be used. These two products are mild in nature, which can provide certain nutrition for people and solve the keratin problem well. When using exfoliating mask or cream, it can also form a maintenance layer to prevent sensitive skin from being invaded by bacteria.

However, because the skin is sensitive, it is easy to turn red, and sometimes even the microvessels of the skin can be seen, or there are problems of dryness and desquamation. Exfoliation is not recommended for sensitive skin with thin cuticle.
