Many people know the importance of skin care and have always maintained the habit of using skin care products, from simply applying face cream to using essences, lotions, face creams, etc. with various functions. In this process, there are many people who are still in a state of blind selection and wrong use, which not only does not improve skin problems, but also makes the problems worse. This is because they do not know enough about how to choose skin care products. Today, let's talk to you in detail about how to choose skin care products correctly!
1. No matter what kind of "water" it is, they are all water
In the skin care product ingredient list, no matter what kind of water, "glacier water", "deep sea water", "mineral water", etc., their essence is the same. Even if the brand story claims that the water quality origin is beautiful, or how famous the water source is, the effect of water on skin improvement is still limited, and the corresponding functional ingredients are ultimately needed to work.
2. Solvents can be ignored
In the skin care product ingredient list, ingredients such as solvents (such as butylene glycol and propylene glycol) are very safe, will not irritate the skin, and have an auxiliary moisturizing effect.
3. Alcohol is not a sin
Many people with sensitive skin will resist the word " alcohol " in the ingredient list of skin care products. In fact, alcohol is a commonly used solvent. As long as the concentration is moderate, it will not irritate the skin. In addition, alcohol can also astringe the skin and improve the absorption effect of skin care products.
4. Don't blindly believe in hyaluronic acid
For dry skin, the effect of hyaluronic acid is relatively limited. Therefore, if the skin is really very easy to dry, you might as well use more skin care products containing oils and ceramide ingredients, which can play a better improvement role.
5. Thickness is the credit of colloid ingredients
The thickness of skin care products cannot be equated with high nutrition. Many skin care products will add a lot of colloid ingredients. These ingredients can create a richer texture and a refreshing feeling of use, but in fact they are neither beneficial nor harmful to the skin.
6. The preservative system is the critical point
In skin care products, phenoxyethanol, potassium sorbate, methylparaben, polyols, etc. are all common preservatives, which usually appear alone or are added in combination to form a preservative system. There are strict requirements for the concentration of these preservatives, which generally cannot exceed 1%.
7. Be careful of whitening tricks
The particles or mineral ingredients that often appear in base makeup are just visual tricks played by manufacturers when added to whitening skin care products. Although they have an instant brightening effect, after removing makeup and cleaning, the skin will immediately return to its original state!
