Bailey In fact, there is no universal conditioning formula that can suit everyone. The essence of all reliable skin conditioning logic is to "stop losses first and then repair, and choose a plan that matches your skin type." The probability of copying other people's methods is far higher than the probability of being useful.
A while ago, a best friend of mine who has oily and acne-prone skin saw a blogger saying that acid peels are effective in treating acne. I found 30% glycolic acid at home and applied it for three days. At first, I only had two or three red and swollen pimples. In the end, my whole face became red and stinging. I couldn't even use a mild facial cleanser. It took more than half a month for the damaged barrier to subside.
This is not to say that acid brushing itself is not good. If you have skin with a thick cuticle and suffer from recurring closed acne, and your face becomes so oily that it reflects light when you go out for two hours at noon, using low-concentration salicylic acid or mandelic acid 1-2 times a week can indeed help exfoliate old dead skin cells, clear pores, and reduce the probability of acne breakouts.； However, if you have dry and sensitive skin, it will easily become red and itchy when the wind blows in spring or when you change skin care products during the seasons. Applying acid is simply a torture to your skin. It is better to apply two thick layers of moisturizing cream containing ceramides and squalane every day to stabilize the barrier.
Many people always think that to take care of their skin, they have to spend money on expensive essences. I have met several young girls who repeatedly suffer from mouth ulcers. After asking, I found out that they wear makeup for more than ten hours a day and only use makeup remover wipes to remove it. No matter how expensive a repairing essence is in this situation, It cannot repair the holes in the skin barrier caused by the makeup removal process. It is better to replace the makeup remover with a mild cleansing oil. After it is fully emulsified, rinse it off with warm water. Go bare-faced for one or two days a week to let the skin breathe. Maybe it will disappear on its own.
There is actually quite a controversy about internal adjustment. Some people say that eating sweet foods will lead to acne, while others still drink full-sugar milk tea every day and still have skin as smooth as a shelled egg. In fact, this itself depends on the individual's physique. As long as I eat more than two pieces of cheesecake at a time, I will definitely get red, swollen and swollen pimples on my chin that are so painful that I dare not touch them, but the girl in my department drinks full-sugar bubble milk tea every day, and her skin is more delicate than mine after giving up sugar for half a year. There is really no need to force yourself to eat things you don’t like by following other people’s diet lists. As long as you clearly feel that your skin condition is getting worse after eating certain foods, you can take the initiative to avoid them. On the contrary, if you eat things you don’t like every day for the so-called “skin nourishing”, you will be so depressed that your endocrine system will be disrupted and your skin will not get better.
Don't believe that "late night emergency masks" can offset the damage to the skin caused by staying up late. I stayed up late for three consecutive days on a project and applied three big-name emergency masks that were called "overnight rejuvenation". When I woke up the next day, my face was still as yellow as pickles that had been pickled for three days, and I also had two pimples on my temples. Then I smoothed it out, went to bed before 11 o'clock for a week, drank two cups of warm lemon water every day, and didn't apply any special essence. My skin condition recovered on its own.
After all, skin conditioning really doesn’t have so many fancy gimmicks. The core method is to understand your own skin condition first, and then make targeted adjustments. Don’t be fooled by the “universal tips” marketed. After all, your face is your own. Whether it is comfortable or effective, your own feelings are the most accurate.
