What are the misunderstandings about beauty and skin care?

　　What are the misunderstandings about beauty and skin care? Beauty and skin care is something that women do every day. It is natural to love beauty, but don’t let the misunderstandings about beauty and skin care harm your skin health. So what are the misunderstandings about beauty and skin care?

　　Misunderstanding 1: After washing with foaming facial cleanser, the skin becomes tight and nutrients are lost

　　Correction: The tight feeling after washing your face is caused by the cleanser washing away the sebum and natural moisturizers contained in the cuticle to retain moisture. Every time you wash your face, it is an important part of moisturizing. The fine foam can penetrate deep into the pores to wash away stains on the skin. A foam facial cleanser containing rich nourishing ingredients can also allow the nourishing ingredients to enter the pores smoothly. A completely non-foaming facial cleanser should be used in conjunction with a foaming facial cleanser, otherwise it will not be able to clean thoroughly, causing oil accumulation and causing skin problems.

　　Misunderstanding 2: The more functions a facial cleanser has, the more expensive it is and the better the beauty effect will be.

　　Correction: The purpose of face washing is to clean the skin. If too many functional ingredients are used, the skin will not be cleansed thoroughly. At the same time, too many functional ingredients will enter the pores without any protection on the skin, which will cause a burden on the skin. Therefore, facial cleanser needs to meet two basic conditions: cleansing thoroughly and moisturizing the skin.

　　Myth 3: Washing your face with a towel will make it cleaner

　　Correction: The loop pile of towels is dozens of times larger than the pores, making it difficult to remove deep-seated dirt and grease. Towels that remain wet for a long time can breed various bacteria and cause skin allergies due to friction with the skin. Therefore, it is best to use a gentle cleansing sponge when washing your face, and air it frequently for disinfection.

　　Myth 4: Washing your face with hot water can clean your skin more thoroughly

　　Correction: The choice of water temperature when washing your face is very important. Overheated water can completely remove the protective film of the skin, which can easily make the skin loose and enlarge pores, leading to rough skin and wrinkles. In addition, if too much oil is washed off, it will also accelerate the aging of the skin. Frequently washing your face with water at a lower temperature will cause the skin pores to close, making it impossible to wash away the sebum, dust and residues and other dirt accumulated on the face. Not only will it not achieve the beauty effect, but it will easily cause skin diseases such as acne and affect your beauty. The correct method is to cleanse your face with warm water at 35°C, and then rinse with cold water.

　　Myth 5: Using facial cleanser can make your face very clean

　　Correction: For women who often wear makeup, washing their face must be divided into two steps: first remove makeup with liquid, and then wash their face with cleanser. Facial cleansers can only remove sweat, sebum, aging cuticle cells and hydrophilic moisturizers, while makeup removers contain vegetable oils, oil-water emulsifiers, and surfactants, which can more thoroughly wash away makeup and remove deep-seated dirt.

　　Misunderstanding 6: After washing your face, let it dry naturally to replenish moisture.

　　Correction: Natural evaporation will make the skin cool and blood vessels will constrict, which will cause the skin to become dry and peeling, and wrinkles will easily appear. Therefore, after washing your face, you should immediately use toner, and then use a moisturizing cream.

　　Myth 7: It’s hot and sweaty, so washing your face several times a day will make it cleaner

　　Correction: The normal situation should be once earlier and once later. If you have been running outside all day and your skin is very uncomfortable due to sweat and dust, you can do a deep cleansing in this case. In hot weather, it can be increased once a day.

　　Myth 8: Wiping with a tissue first after applying heavy makeup will make it easier to clean the makeup

　　Correction: Using paper towels to wipe off makeup first is the most harmful to the skin, because paper towels are rough and have no oil or moisture. They will roughly rub the particles of cosmetics into the pores of the skin. First, it will make the subsequent cleaning work more difficult, and second, it will make the skin rough. You should use a good makeup remover, and the makeup removal technique must be gentle.

　　Misunderstanding 9: Use powerful cleansing products to clean your face

　　Correction: When choosing cleaning products, you should choose products with moderate cleansing properties. Excessive washing of oil will often cause dry and sensitive skin. When you find that your face is red and peeling, or you are allergic to your usual skin care products, you should check whether your facial cleansing products are too irritating and have too strong cleaning power. At this time, it is best to use milder facial cleansing products. Otherwise, over-cleansing will not only be detrimental to skin health, but overly dry skin will also easily produce fine lines, which is not worth the gain.

　　Misunderstanding 10: Just wash every corner of your face

　　Correction: The T-zone is the easiest place to hide dirt, so it’s best to rub it several times. When cleaning your cheeks, you should gently rub them from bottom to top, because the cuticle cells on the face are distributed in layers like fish scales from top to bottom. If you clean them in the opposite direction, they will be cleaner. It is very easy to leave hair styling agent on your buns and temples, so you need to pay special attention to cleaning. The skin of your eyes is particularly sensitive, so you should clean it last to prevent irritation from cleansing products.
