What steps and contents does the skin care process include?

In fact, there is no standard process for skin care that is universal across the Internet. There are only three core things that must be done: cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection. All other steps are optional and can be added as needed. There is no need to impose any burden on yourself.

Not long ago, my cousin just went to college and followed a beauty blogger to stock up on a table of skin care products. She applied every night makeup remover, cleanser, toner, serum, essence, lotion, face cream, and eye cream. Within half a month, she became depressed and shut up. She came to me crying and asked if she had bought a fake product. I asked her to stop all products except for the amino acid cleanser, refreshing gel, and commuting sunscreen. She only took three steps a day. Within two weeks, 70% of the redness and shutness were gone.

Of course, this does not mean that all products other than these three steps are IQ tax, it depends on your current skin type and scene adjustment. For example, if you go to the beach and apply waterproof high-power sunscreen, and when you come back at night and wash it twice with ordinary cleansers, your face still feels tight and filmy, then you must add a gentle makeup remover, otherwise the residual sunscreen will get stuck in the pores and cause acne. There is actually a lot of controversy here. Some people think that even ordinary sunscreen must be removed every day, otherwise the residue will damage the skin. Some people say that as long as it is a sunscreen that can be washed away with cleansers, additional makeup removal will over-clean and damage the barrier. My own experience after trying it is that as long as your face does not feel slippery or tight and stinging after washing, you can use whatever you wash it with. You don’t have to listen to one side’s opinion.

As for toners, essences, and eye creams that everyone often talks about, there is no need to do them. When I have dry skin in the winter, I feel particularly comfortable after cleansing my face by applying a layer of softening water, and the subsequent application of facial cream will not stick to the powder. However, in the summer when I am oily, even applying toner feels sticky, so just apply oil-free lotion directly. Oh, and eye cream is also controversial. Some people think that eye cream is just a face cream in a small package, which is purely IQ tax. Some people say that the skin around the eyes is one-third thinner than that on the face, so it must use a special mild formula. My own habit is that if I do my face on the same day The cream is very light and oil-free, so just apply it around the eye area. If the cream is thicker, just apply a refreshing eye cream separately. After all, I had two fat particles around my eyes when I applied thick cream before, and it took me half a year to disappear, which still left me a little psychologically affected.

In fact, the skin care process is like dressing up when you go out every day. Cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection are close-fitting underwear, which must be worn no matter what the weather or occasion. The rest of the steps are like coats, scarves, and necklaces. When the temperature cools down, add a thick coat. When going to formal occasions, wear jewelry to match. You can't just throw on a down jacket when the temperature is 37 or 8 degrees in the summer. You will get sick if you don't get bored. What suits you is the best.
