when it's nine cold days, the face is the first to feel the biting wind. After stimulation, delicate skin will also become dry. It is particularly important to moisturize the skin.

"Dry air in winter can lead to the decrease of skin moisture content, while cold climate can lead to the decrease of sebaceous glands and sweat secretion, which will lead to the decrease or even damage of skin barrier function." Zhang Yuping, a senior beautician at Shilitang, suggested that different skin moisturizing methods can keep the skin tender, moist and beautiful in winter.

The first step of skin care is cleaning

According to the secretion of sebaceous glands, human skin can be generally divided into four types: neutral skin, dry skin, oily skin and mixed skin, and some are sensitive skin. Relatively speaking, neutral skin is healthy and ideal skin, which is more common in adolescent girls around the age of 18. "The sebum secretion of neutral skin is moderate, neither dry nor oily, not easy to wrinkle, with small pores and insensitivity to external stimuli." Zhang Yuping said, but due to the seasonal influence, neutral skin tends to be dry in winter. Dry skin, however, has small pores and is not obvious, and the skin is relatively dry, and it is also prone to fine wrinkles and is sensitive to external stimuli. Oily skin has dark complexion, large pores, and a large amount of sebum secretion, which is prone to acne and acne. Mixed skin has the characteristics of oily skin and dry skin, and 8% of women are mixed skin.

"No matter what kind of skin, the first step in maintenance is deep cleaning." Zhang Yuping explained that cleaning skin can promote skin metabolism, increase skin absorption capacity, prevent skin diseases, delay skin aging and prevent wrinkles. In autumn and winter, when using facial cleanser to wash your face, neutral skin can be used once a day, dry skin should be used two or three times a day, and oily skin should be used once a day. When cleaning, the water temperature of different skin is different, which can be about 34 degrees Celsius for dry skin, about 38 degrees Celsius for oily skin and about 36 degrees Celsius for normal skin. The correct cleaning method is to wash off oil and facial cleanser with warm water first, and then wash the skin with flowing cold water, which can effectively shrink pores and tighten the skin.

after skin cleaning, the next step is nursing and moisturizing. Different skin types also choose different skin care products, such as dry skin moisturizing: daytime toner, lotion, cream, evening toner, lotion, sleep mask; The hydrating products can be skin care products containing natural moisturizing factors and hyaluronic acid, that is, hyaluronic acid.

mixed skin moisturizing: restore the balance of water and oil, and use cream products, which can not only replenish sufficient water and nutrition to the skin, but also keep the skin from losing water; Hydrating products: Do a facial massage once a week to strengthen the deep hydrating care of the skin, which can make the water penetrate from the stratum corneum to the inner layer of the skin. You can use some moisturizing masks to make the later maintenance more effective.

Moisturizing sensitive skin: Wash your face no more than twice a day. Choose facial cleanser that is mild and clean, and the intensity should not be too strong. Don't wipe your face with a towel after cleansing. It is better to air dry naturally. Hydrating products: The less ingredients you choose, the better.

The main "defense line" of moisturizing with facial mask

It nourishes the skin fully. Besides daily moisturizing care, facial mask is the main "defense line" of moisturizing. The effect of the mask is to "moisturize in the morning and whiten at night", so that the skin can reach a state of self-repair.

masks are divided into hydrating masks, plant masks and sleeping masks. The hydrating mask is mostly a patch mask. Its advantage is that it concentrates the essence on the mask paper, which can moisturize and moisturize the skin well and make the skin tender and transparent. The facial mask with natural plant ingredients can be used with a beauty steam instrument before application, which can play a better role in hydrating and moisturizing, and can also drive away the cold and make the skin more moist and comfortable. Sleep masks are generally paste-like disposable masks. Apply one layer before going to bed every day, which can moisturize and repair the facial skin damaged during the day, and also moisturize the skin all night, making the skin bright and energetic the next day.

before applying the mask, make a bottom for the skin, especially for dry skin and sensitive skin. Use the essence of toner or mask to make the bottom for the face before applying the mask. The T-shaped area can be thicker to ensure the uniform absorption of the mask. Apply the mask to the lower half of the face, starting from below the eyes, and apply a thick layer on the cheeks and chin for no more than 15 minutes. The best time to apply the mask, make sure to apply it 2-3 times a week, and if not, apply the mask at least once a week. The benefits of applying a mask will make the skin absorb nutrients and accelerate the blood circulation of the face.
