    In fact, the two are essentially bound to a symbiotic relationship - the ultimate goal of beauty is skin health, and healthy skin itself is the most natural beauty effect. All operations that talk about beauty without health are essentially setting up minefields for the skin.

    Some people may think that what I said is too absolute? You see, there are two factions quarreling fiercely on the Internet right now. One faction thinks that beauty is a tax on IQ, and no matter what you apply, it is not as good as skin nourished by going to bed early and drinking water. The other faction believes that as long as the money is spent, medical beauty programs can stack buffs to change your face. In fact, there are real cases corresponding to what both sides say, and it is impossible to say who is completely right and who is completely wrong.

    The 98-year-old girl in my studio has been through this before. She was born with thin-skinned and sensitive skin. I heard a blogger say that "skin care needs to be multiplied." She applied various whitening and anti-aging essences on top of each other, and went to a private institution for photorejuvenation once every two months. In the end, her face was swollen like a steamed bun, red, itchy, and had a small rash with yellow water. She went to the hospital to be diagnosed with contact dermatitis, and it took her three months to get rid of it. After that, she learned the lesson and only used amino acid cleansing and repairing essence every day. She either wore a hat or a mask or applied mild physical sunscreen when going out. She did not use any fancy beauty treatments. Now the redness on her face has faded by half, and her skin is so translucent that she doesn’t need to wear foundation at work. This is actually putting health first. Even if the beauty steps are minimal, the effect is much better than messing around.

    You are wrong to say that beauty treatments are completely useless. My mother is 52 years old. When she was young, she never stayed in the sun. As she got older, she went to the dermatology department of a regular tertiary hospital every two or three months for sub-photon rejuvenation to maintain skin stability. She usually focused on mild antioxidants in her skin care and never used it. No matter what the weird remedies, the wrinkles on her face are now half less than those of her aunts of the same age, and there are not many age spots. The last time she went for a skin test, the doctor praised her skin barrier as being healthier than many 30-year-old people. This kind of reasonable beauty behavior is actually "renewing" the health of the skin.

    To put it bluntly, your skin is like a pot of succulent you raise. When it is healthy, the leaves are plump and translucent, and it feels moist and elastic. If you want to make it look brighter, apply the so-called "brightening agent" to it every day and keep replenishing it 24 hours a day. If the light shines brightly, it will rot at the roots and turn into water in a short time; but if you follow its habits, dry it thoroughly and water it thoroughly, and give it some slow-release fertilizer, it will naturally grow plump and beautiful. Beauty is the can of slow-release fertilizer. If you use it correctly, it will be a blessing, but if you use it wrongly, it will be poison.

    I have been working on skin care for almost six years, and I have seen too many people who are blindly pursuing the so-called "shelled egg skin" and "zero pore face". They use mercury-containing folk remedies in order to quickly whiten their skin, and exfoliate three times a week in order to shrink pores. In the end, their skin develops hormone-dependent dermatitis. It becomes red and hot when exposed to cold or heat. Even applying normal skin care products hurts. On the contrary, they cannot protect even the most basic health. In fact, healthy skin already has tiny pores, which will produce oil as the temperature changes. Occasionally, you will get acne if you stay up late. Those beauty needs that violate physiological laws are actually against your health.

    In fact, the criteria for judging whether a beauty behavior is right or not is very simple: after all the skin care and medical beauty programs you do, your skin will not feel any discomfort such as redness, stinging, or itching. After long-term use, the skin condition will be stable, acne will not break out when oil comes out, and your face will not be rotten when the season changes. This is good for your health. If you feel uncomfortable after doing it, don't believe in the nonsense of "detoxification" and "tolerance period" and stop immediately, because it will actually harm your skin health.
