What is basic skin care?
Basic skin care is a key step in maintaining healthy skin, and its purpose is to clean, moisturize and protect the skin. When choosing skin care products, it is very important to first understand your skin type, because different skin types have different skin care needs. In addition, the type of product and the order of use should be determined according to personal skin needs and preferences. In general, it is key to find a skin care plan and product that suits you, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort in skin care.
What does basic skin care include?
Basic skin care mainly includes the following:
1. Cleansing:
- Cleansing: Use a facial cleanser or cleansing product suitable for your skin type in the morning and evening to gently remove oil, dirt and makeup residue from the skin surface.
2. Toning/conditioning:
- Toner (makeup water): Use after cleansing to restore the skin's acid-base balance and replenish moisture. Some toners can also help further remove residual dirt and prepare for the absorption of subsequent skin care products.
3. Moisturizing:
-Lotion: A light moisturizing product that provides moderate moisture daily and maintains the water-oil balance of the skin.
-Cream/Moisturizer: A relatively rich moisturizing product, used at night or in dry seasons, provides deep nourishment and locks in moisture.
-Essence: It can be used after toner and before lotion or cream for specific skin care needs (such as repair, anti-aging, whitening, etc.) to enhance skin nutrition.
4. Eye care:
-Eye cream or eye essence: Use products designed specifically for the delicate skin around the eyes to reduce fine lines, dark circles, eye puffiness and other problems.
5. Sunscreen:
-Sunscreen: Sunscreen is an indispensable part of the daytime skin care steps, protecting the skin from UV damage, preventing skin sunburn, spots and photoaging.
6. Special care:
Perform periodic exfoliation, blackhead removal, mask care, etc. according to the skin's own needs.
7. Makeup removal:
Before skin care at night, if you wear makeup, you need to use makeup remover to completely remove the makeup.
In summary, the basic order of basic skin care can be as follows:
- Morning: cleansing → toner → eye cream → lotion/cream → sunscreen
- Evening: makeup removal → cleansing → toner → eye cream → essence → lotion/cream
For sensitive skin, it is especially important to choose mild and non-irritating products, and simplify the skin care steps when necessary to avoid excessive cleansing and maintenance.
