What to do when your face is dry and flaky in winter

What about dry skin in winter? Personally, I think the main thing is to make up for it with good cosmetics

1, do not appear sensitive phenomenon, change into a whole set of sensitive skin care products

Because this is very unsafe, the skin once the allergy, it has become unusually delicate, if you replace a series of cosmetic products at this time, it is easy to bring harm to the skin. So do not replace all at once, you can start from the maintenance of the last program of products such as night cream or lotion change, and gradually all change, but also can first stop using with irritating products, such as containing alcohol ingredients or fruit acid composition of the product.

2, when a lot of pimples on the face, not the skin is not clean

If you think that so many pimples because the skin is not clean and strengthen the clean, it is easy to stimulate the skin more. Pimples can be a symptom of sensitive skin or adult acne due to stress, and it's time to see a doctor instead of just slamming on acne products or exfoliating or deep cleansing, which can irritate the skin even more.

3, do not put the cleanser directly on the face scrubbing

No rubbing foam cleanser will be tightly adhered to the surface of the skin, harming the sebaceous membrane. The correct method is to add water first rubbing foam, because the foam after the detergent to play cleaning effect, and foam than the non-foaming milk mild. The first thing you need to do is to wash the T-zone, and then use lukewarm water to wash off the cheeks.

4, pay attention to regular cleaning puff

You know that unclean makeup utensils, will make the skin is very sensitive, so the makeup utensils must be cleaned, because make-up face oil will be sucked out of the powder puff, sucked full of grease powder puff and air contact, is the best breeding ground for bacteria. Using a dirty puff is not only unsightly, but also makes your skin texture fragile or acne-prone. Once a week to wash the puff, with a special detergent or mild soap can be, after washing with a tissue paper pressed to absorb water, and then dried in the shade. Choose make-up tool cleaner must pay attention to must choose professional cleaner to deal with, daily life in the makeup use frequency is high to make-up based, foundation than other makeup more thick also so make-up tools more prone to breeding bacteria. The use of beauty makeup brush special cleaning fluid, sprayed on the daily use of the brush head, in the soft cloth back and forth wipe to clean can be.

5, dry and itchy skin, do not use moisturizing cream

Because of the thick and sticky care products, sensitive skin is a burden, so do not use when the skin feels dry and itchy. Too much oil and moisturizing care products, easy to irritate sensitive skin, but also not easy to absorb, choose "lotion" texture than cream and serum is more suitable for sensitive skin.

6. Don't try to cover up red, dry skin with powder

Because it may be your skin that's inflamed, and sensitive skin that's inflamed should stop wearing makeup in the first place. Ordinary makeup tools can aggravate the inflammation of the skin, and you must choose a pure wool handmade brush while brushing the powder to create a clear and bare skin even for sensitive skin.

Use tips

Take an appropriate amount of cheek color with a rouge brush and debug the consistency and makeup effect on the back of your hand. Apply it like a circle from the temples to the center of the cheekbones and the center of the ears.

Using foundation and lipstick is something that many ladies do because it's very straightforward to see the effect of white skin and red lips. However, these two things alone are not enough, unless you consider yourself better. Every part of the average person's face has areas that need to be beautified. There are three things that can be the icing on the cake. Those are concealer, rouge and eye shadow.

Concealer: Since the creation of concealer in 1954, a variety of effective products have come on the scene that have been improved by new technology, such as those containing antibacterial, sunscreen and moisturizing ingredients.

Tips for using concealer are as follows:

Select one that matches your skin color.

Apply it to the center of the blemish and sweep it with a small brush from the inside out.

To conceal dark circles under the eyes, use a concealer one shade lighter than your skin tone and apply gently from the bottom up.

For scars, use a shade two shades lighter than your skin tone.

Eye shadow: The eyes are the window to the soul and should not be neglected. The eyebrows must be groomed regularly as it affects the entire facial contour. Plucking eyebrows must be plucked in the direction of the growth of eyebrows, try to clean up the eye brows under the stray hairs to highlight the eyebrow line, and must follow the shape of the eyebrow bone hands, eyebrow tail parts must remain slender. To make sparse eye brows look fuller, sweep on eye shadow powder that matches your hair and skin color to make it look natural and soft.

Blush: Blush can be used to enhance and improve the contours of your cheeks. Whether you want to look glamorous or healthy, it's important to use a blush that matches your skin tone. Light rouge is suitable for general skin tone, while strong color is more suitable for dull skin tone. When applying blush, sweep it evenly over the cheeks with a large, swirling brush. Remember to be patient and apply the blush slowly, dot by dot, and never apply a lot of blush to the same area. You can also sweep blush lightly over the forehead, sideburns, and jawline to make your complexion appear more rosy. If you want to emphasize the contours of your face, try sweeping blush powder over your cheekbones, but do so evenly and softly, and don't sweep the blush into a rectangular piece, which will make your makeup look unnatural. You can also use blush cream, which is smoother than powder blush, but has the disadvantage of being more difficult to use. It's best to dab a little on with your fingertips first and let the heat of your hands gently dissolve it so that it's easy to apply evenly. In terms of sculpting makeup, ordinary women, like professional makeup artists, have a hard-wired need for sophistication, and bare-handed priming or eye shadow and face contouring leads to a dead look that lacks spirit.

Maintenance guidelines

Stay out of the bathroom

Bathroom air humidity is often very high, high humidity environment is not conducive to the safety of cosmetics, in the peak summer season, and even prone to moisture, mold, water phenomenon. In addition to cleaning products, skin care products and color cosmetics should be away from the humid bathroom. More commonly used cosmetics can be placed on the dresser, less frequently used can be placed in the drawer. Buy what you use now, don't hoard.

Mascara use period is 6 months

Mascara more than 6 months should be eliminated, because the use of mascara to constantly pull, which makes the mascara liquid is easy to harden and deteriorate; in addition, mascara close to the eyes, drying or hardening of the skin have an impact. Therefore, the mascara opened for use, more than six months can not be used again.

Focus on sunscreen

Like make-up, but also the standard nine-to-five office workers, even in high summer can not have to use sunscreen and direct use of sunscreen foundation. Because of the nine-to-five OLs, only in the morning and evening on the way to and from work contact with the sun, coated with sunscreen and coated with foundation, is a double layer of airtight, resulting in double the skin double the oil double the waste. Direct use of sunscreen foundation, but also need to pay attention to the following three points:

Be sure to pick a foundation with sunscreen function, the index is best for SPF15, PA + + + both UVA and UVB UV protection foundation.

Skin care products should also be adjusted, to choose water, with curry, lotion-like products, light but also oil-free.

After washing your face, you should quickly pat on the lotion to replenish moisture on one hand and firm up the skin on the other. Then apply a moisturizing, oil-free lotion to maximize water retention before makeup, so it stays on longer.

How to manage

Gathering: First, gather all the makeup scattered in your bathroom, vanity, and travel bag, and then start sorting.

Eliminate: Eliminate products that are more than 2 years old; discard products that you haven't used in the past 6 months, as the chances of you using them in the future are slim to none!

Observation: What are the main colors left after analyzing and organizing? What are the cosmetics that you use every day? The conclusions from this analysis can be used as a guideline for your future makeup purchases, helping you to avoid spending money on makeup you already own or don't use at all.

Management: Organize two sets of cosmetics: one for home and one for travel; it's a good idea to have a small makeup bag ready to go when you're out and about.

Storage details

Like clothes need to be stored for the new season, cosmetics and maintenance products also need to be stored for the new season. When doing seasonal storage, throw away products that are close to expiration, give away colors that don't suit you, and what's left at the end is ready for pre-collection maintenance.

Maintenance products: also first use cotton dipped in alcohol to wipe the edges of the caps and mouths of the bottles clean. This not only has a disinfecting effect, but also can be the mouth of the bottle is easy to breed bacteria oil and wax, and clean, and then tape the mouth of the bottle to seal up to prevent the liquid from evaporating and drying.

Lipstick: Use a clean tissue to wipe away a layer of the part that has been in contact with your lips, and then put it away.

Eyeshadow, blush, powder and other box makeup: first with a clean cotton pad, will have been used, dirty powder wipe off, and then cotton (or cotton pads) dipped in alcohol, the shell of the powder box, the edge of the mirror to wipe again, and then open the place in the sun does not direct sunlight, the air ventilation for 5 minutes, the cover can be received into the cupboard or make-up box.

Post-pregnancy attention

Women who love beauty like to make up, because after makeup, look more young and beautiful, glowing. It is not forbidden to wear make-up, but when you are pregnant, you will need to wear it. However, when you are pregnant, you should be wary of the harmful chemicals contained in some cosmetics. What cosmetics should be banned for pregnant women?

1, hair dye

According to foreign medical experts, hair dyes not only cause skin cancer, but also cause breast cancer, leading to fetal malformation. So pregnant women should not use hair dye.

2, cold perm

According to years of research by French medical experts, women's hair is not only very fragile after pregnancy, but also very easy to fall off. If you use the chemical cold perm, it will exacerbate the hair loss.

In addition, the chemical cold iron will affect the normal growth and development of the fetus in pregnant women, a few women will also have an allergic reaction to it. Therefore, pregnant women should not use chemical cold iron.

3, lipstick

Lipstick is composed of various oils, waxes, pigments and fragrances. Which grease is usually used lanolin, lanolin in addition to adsorption of air in a variety of harmful heavy metals trace elements, may also adsorption of Escherichia coli into the body of the fetus, and there is a certain permeability. Pregnant women wearing lipstick, some harmful substances in the air will be easily adsorbed on the lips, and with the saliva into the body, so that pregnant women in the womb of the fetus victimized. In view of this, pregnant women are best not to wear lipstick, especially not long-term lipstick.

In addition, the quality of some cosmetics is worrying. Guangdong Provincial Health Epidemic Control Station once sampling 100 kinds of market cosmetics, found that: some cosmetics contain lead, mercury, arsenic and other harmful elements, a lot of black hair milk and hair coloring water a kind of cosmetics contain a high amount of lead, some of them also contain a high amount of copper, but also part of the cosmetic contains a rather alarming number of bacteria. In particular, most cosmetics have not been tested for safety by the relevant authorities. Therefore, pregnant women are urged to beware of the dangers of cosmetics to their own health and to future generations. [8]

Safe use of cosmetics

Over the limit

"Mercury-over-the-limit" products whiten or remove blemishes quickly, making the skin look white. However, "excessive mercury" products can damage the normal physiological structure of the skin, producing abnormal skin pigmentation, "melanosis", and even damage to the nervous, digestive and endocrine systems, resulting in damage to internal organs.

Correct choice

Choosing cosmetics, we should consider the following two aspects:

1. Generally speaking, choose the famous factory, brand-name cosmetics is better, because the famous factory's equipment is good, the product standard is high, the quality is guaranteed, and the brand-name products are generally trusted products, the use of safer. Can not buy no manufacturer and no commodity signs of cosmetics, at the same time, pay attention to the product has no inspection certificate and production license to prevent counterfeiting. Also pay attention to the production date of cosmetics, general creams, creams, honey products as far as possible to buy within one year of the factory.

Second, learn to recognize the quality of cosmetics.

①From the appearance of identification: good cosmetics should be bright colors, elegant and soft. If you find that the color is gray and dirty, different shades, it means that there are problems with the quality. If the appearance of cloudy, oil and water separation or flocculent, cream dry shrinkage with cracks, it can not be used.

② from the odor to identify: the smell of cosmetics, some light, some strong, but are very pure. If you smell a pungent odor, it is shoddy or spoiled products.

3 from the feeling of identification: take a small amount of cosmetics gently coated in the skin, if it can be uniformly tightly attached to the skin and have a smooth and comfortable feeling, is the texture of fine cosmetics. If the application of rough, sticky feeling, and even itchy, dry skin, it is poor quality cosmetics.

2. Personal and environmental factors to choose cosmetics, in addition to the quality of cosmetics, but also take into account the user and environmental factors.

①Based on the type of skin: oily skin people, to use a clear type of lotion skin care products; dry skin people, you should use nutritious moisturizing skin care products; neutral skin people, you should use the nature of the mild skin care products.

②Based on age and gender: children's skin is young, sebum secretion, must use children's special skin care products; the elderly skin atrophy, dry and thin, should be used with oil, moisturizing factors and vitamin E and other ingredients of the skin care products; men should choose men's special skin care products.

3 according to skin color: the choice of lipstick, eye shadow, foundation, nail polish and other cosmetics, must be coordinated with their own skin color shades. People with fairer skin color should use cosmetics with sunscreen.

4 according to the season: different seasons, the use of cosmetics are different. In the cold season, it is appropriate to use cosmetics with strong moisturizing and hydrating properties, while in summer, it is appropriate to use lotion or powder cosmetics.

Perfect storage

Storage of cosmetics, we must bear in mind that cosmetics have "six fears".

Fear of heat: the temperature is too high place should not store cosmetics. Because high temperatures can cause cosmetics oil and water separation, cream shrinkage, causing deterioration.

Fear of sun: sunlight or direct light should not store cosmetics. Because light irradiation will cause water evaporation of cosmetics, some ingredients will lose vitality, so as to cause deterioration. The sun's ultraviolet rays can also make some substances in cosmetics chemical changes, affecting the use of the effect, and even adverse reactions.

Fear of freezing: cosmetics can be placed in the refrigerator in the preservation of the freezer to save, can not be placed in the freezer to save. In the cold season, cosmetics should not be placed outdoors or carried outdoors for a long time. Because freezing will make the cosmetics freeze crack phenomenon, and thawing will also appear oil and water separation, texture coarsening, skin irritation.

Fear of moisture: some cosmetics contain proteins, moisture is easy to mold. Some cosmetics use iron cover, moisture is easy to rust corrosion cosmetics, cosmetics deterioration.

Fear of long storage: the general expiration date of cosmetics for 1-2 years, after opening the storage period is shorter. Therefore, cosmetics are best used within the validity period, not stop and use until the expiration date. And then good cosmetics, and then carefully stored, if the shelf life, it will be worthless.

Fear of pollution: cosmetics must be used in a timely manner after the tightening of the cap to avoid the propagation of bacterial invasion. It is best to avoid using your hands directly when using, you can use a clean cotton swab and other tools to take. If you take too much at one time, you can apply it to other parts of the body, and not put it back in the bottle.

Measures

Cosmetics are a kind of maintenance and beauty products that people put on their faces, due to their different main ingredients and related to each person's skin qualities. Therefore, there are many people who experience redness, swelling, pain and blisters on some of their skin when using cosmetics, which is called cosmetic allergy. Cosmetic allergy is quite an unbearable thing for some people, and on certain occasions, the allergic condition can cause embarrassing situations that they don't want to face.

So how do you go about dealing with this kind of mishap? When buying a certain kind of cosmetic you can ask a professional to help you test whether the cosmetic reacts with your skin type or not. If it comes back positive, you are allergic; negative means you are not allergic. After the test results come out, for the allergic cosmetics should immediately stop using, find the opposite nature of the liquid for hot compresses, neutralization. And need to go to the regular hospital to find a doctor to prescribe medication for internal treatment. Within 3-4 days, the symptoms of allergy will be significantly better. And through this lesson to understand their own skin for what kind of cosmetic products there is an allergic reaction, the future purchase of time to pay particular attention.

Cleaning

One, the powder has been used to see the bottom of the metal, leaving the periphery of a circle, it is really inconvenient to use, but it is a pity to throw it away

Scrape down the remaining powder on the sterilized mortar and pestle, grind it, and then add a proper amount of olive oil and alcohol, and continue to mix it until it becomes a homogeneous paste, and then scoop it out and fill it with a small iron tray inside the eyeshadow box that is used up, or a small clean plastic box, and use a large metal tray to clean it. Plastic box, with the back of a large metal spoon pressed tightly, and then placed in a ventilated place to dry, you can continue to use for a period of time. This method can also be applied with too deep and too light powder, by re-coloring to make it come to life.

Two, a lot of colors do not like the lipstick, used once or twice and never want to use it again

Lipstick is still in the shelf life, but the color do not like it, you can cut it down in a small plastic pill box, according to the different shades of color arrangement, and then use a hair dryer to soften them so that they melt in the box, to use, you can prepare a lip brush, mixing a few different colors, the effect is really good. The effect is really good Oh ~ if the color is less, discarded contact lens case is also a good choice.

Three, odor powder puff

The use of several different effects of the powder, you can only use a powder puff, used for a long time on the discard, to avoid each piece of powder puff are used after the dirty, born out of odor.

Four, makeup brushes are easy to dust

Makeup brushes should be cleaned regularly, after which they can be placed in such a transparent brush bag to save, the plastic texture of the brush bag should be soft, so as not to deform the brush pressure. Or make your own brush cover from a cardboard box and put it over the brush head, all this to keep the brush head from being exposed to dust.

National Regulation

The daily operation of a cosmetic company is under the supervision of governmental departments such as industrial and commercial administration, quality and technical supervision, health supervision, and food and drugs, etc. This article discusses regulation in the field of product circulation, and other types of regulation are not discussed in this article.

(A) health supervision, food and drug supervision (bureau)
