What skin care pits should I bypass if I want to have healthy skin?

From the first moment of birth, our skin has been declining, and all efforts made since then are only to slow down the decline. But on this downhill road, we will encounter many deep pits, which will make our skin condition plummet. So, it's time to fill these deep pits.

1. Can the cream isolate pollution and radiation?

In terms of composition, cream is not a separate category at all. They are either light sunscreen, or pre-makeup milk, or pre-makeup milk mixed with a little sunscreen. In the words of the manufacturer, the cream can effectively isolate ultraviolet rays, make-up and dust in the air. Isolation of ultraviolet rays, is it not sun protection? As for isolating air dust, makeup and radiation. You can't make any "cream" unless you make your face airtight.

2. Want to have good skin and apply a mask every day?

There is reliable evidence that excessive contact with water will lead to damage to the skin barrier. The first essence of skin care is to maintain your own skin barrier. The skin barrier is a brick structure, in which keratinocytes are bricks, intercellular lipids are "mortar" that anchor keratinocytes together, and sebum and sweat outside the stratum corneum are outer wall coatings. Lipids between cells are like "adhesives". Once they are lost, the skin is actually difficult to recover. Compared with the skin barrier, all skin care products are just icing on the cake. So, don't wear a mask every day, just spray water on your face if you have nothing to do. This kind of "hydrating" is not good for the face. What you have to do is to lock the moisture that already exists in the skin.

3. Does dry skin need more hydration?

When you see the word hydrating, you can basically know that this is a scam.

Dry skin is not lack of water. In fact, there is not much difference in water content between dry skin and oily skin.

The reason of dry skin is that the skin has insufficient water locking ability and the water loss is too fast. Therefore, for dry skin, it is important to moisturize, not "replenish water". In the selection of specific moisturizing products, mild oily moisturizing products (such as vaseline and sheep oil) should be given priority to avoid excessive use of "hydrating" products (especially masks), which will lead to the decline of skin barrier function and may also cause dermatitis.
