10 major anti-aging misunderstandings about winter health care

　　cosmetic fever My colleagues’ misunderstandings:
　　
SPF15 sunscreen can prevent wrinkles caused by photoaging.

Expert correction: Containing SPF value does not fully prevent photoaging. SPF value only targets UVB ultraviolet rays. Sunscreen containing PA value can directly protect UVA ultraviolet rays that also cause skin photoaging. Therefore, when we use sunscreen, we must choose products that contain both SPF value and PA value.

Misconceptions of old-school skin care experts:
　　
Facial cleansers with anti-aging ingredients are of no use at all because you wash them off so quickly.

Expert correction: It is true that if you use ordinary facial cleansing products, the ingredients contained in them will be washed away quickly with face washing. However, some high-end brand cleansing products not only add anti-aging ingredients in skin care products, but also have anti-rinsing capabilities. Some cleansing products will lay the most effective foundation for the absorption of subsequent essences and creams, thus greatly improving the efficacy of subsequent products. This is why we have always advocated using a series of products from the same brand so that the effect can be maximized.

Misconceptions about good friends’ experiences:
　　
If a wrinkle-reducing product loses its effectiveness within a few weeks, it should be replaced.

Expert correction: Of course, some of the current anti-wrinkle products incorporate high technology or add expensive ingredients, which can make the anti-wrinkle effect appear immediately, or you can see a good anti-wrinkle effect in 28 days, but generally speaking, to judge whether a product has a good anti-wrinkle effect, you still need to insist on using it for three months.

　　Misunderstandings about self-hypnosis negative theory:

Aging, like other physiological conditions, is determined by genes. My mother is naturally beautiful and gets wrinkles later than other middle-aged people without using any big-name skin care products, so it’s the same if I don’t do anything.

Expert correction: Genetic inheritance is very important. If your mother is naturally beautiful and does not look old, then you are very lucky to be like your mother. But I think we should still take necessary care of our skin, wear sunscreen, and supplement certain nutrients. What’s more, many current conditions are very different from your mother’s time. For example, the air, environment, ultraviolet rays, and our life rhythm and status are all very different from the past. There are more factors that directly lead to rapid skin aging.

Skeptics’ psychological resistance myths:

Gene maintenance and DNA repair, I think it’s another gimmick to defraud my wallet!

Expert correction: If traditional skin care products act on the surface of the skin, then the latest genetic products or DNA repair products on the market will act on the deeper layers of the skin, and of course the effects will be more obvious.

Misconceptions of the guinea pig who are repeatedly disappointed with anti-aging products:
　　
skin Itching, redness, and peeling are common side effects of anti-aging products.

Expert correction: This only means that you are sensitive to certain ingredients in the product and are allergic. At this time, you should stop using this product and let your skin fully rest. After the skin returns to normal, you can use it one or two more times to see if the skin has adapted or accepted it. If allergies still occur, it can no longer be used. If no allergies occur, it means that the skin has slowly accepted these ingredients.

　　A beauty editor’s misunderstanding in topic selection:
　　
24-hour anti-aging without interruption, anti-aging products are not divided into time periods.

Expert correction: The physiological characteristics of the skin are to protect it during the day, and at night it is the time when cells are renewed and the cells are most active and the best time to absorb nutrients.

Negative misunderstandings among medical beauty enthusiasts:

Once sagging occurs, nothing can truly tighten the skin, except a scalpel.

Expert correction: Once aging wrinkles form, it is true that no matter how good the anti-wrinkle product is, it is impossible to make the wrinkles really disappear. However, we can use anti-wrinkle and anti-wrinkle products as early as possible to delay the appearance of wrinkles, or use anti-aging products to dilute the wrinkles that have already formed.

　　Misunderstandings about the tacit purchasing guidelines of celebrities:
　　
The more expensive the product is, the higher the technological content, and the more particular the ingredients used, the better the effect will naturally be.

Expert correction: Expensive ones don’t necessarily mean they are good or suitable for you. In fact, the most important thing is whether you use a product or it suits you. If your skin is young, it is indeed not suitable to use products containing rich and concentrated ingredients. The skin does not need such rich nutrients and will not be able to absorb them. Instead, it will lead to the accumulation of nutrients and oil, resulting in fat particles.

Grandma’s misunderstandings about skin care:

Treating acne and preventing skin aging are different issues and require different products.

Expert correction: In fact, you can kill two birds with one stone. For over-the-counter products, products containing small amounts of vitamin A alcohol can effectively prevent skin aging and treat acne at the same time.
