Glossy: keratin accumulation At present, domestic whitening products can't whiten naturally dull skin, so it's a bit futile to search for "whitening products" as white as big S, but no matter whether the skin is dull or fair, it may be unsatisfactory: it doesn't look beautiful! That's because-it was dark. Eliminate dullness and make your skin bright and dark, and you will feel "white" beautiful!
Eliminating dullness with skin care products is very simple-exfoliation, a familiar term. However, this is only a "temporary solution, not a permanent cure". It is best to investigate the causes of skin blackening: lack of sleep, overwork, bad mood and so on. , will inhibit the metabolism of the skin, become slow, leading to the accumulation of old waste keratin. If too much ultraviolet radiation is not protected, the skin will quickly start the self-protection mechanism and thicken keratin to "try its best" to stop ultraviolet radiation-stopping it from the source of keratin accumulation is the fundamental way to eliminate dullness.
Huang: The accumulation of toxins and yellow complexion also have a lot to do with lack of sleep, being too tired and being in a bad mood-there is no way. If you want to have "snow muscle and ice skin", you have to "pamper yourself". Yellow skin color is also related to unhealthy lifestyle: smoking, drinking, being in a closed environment for a long time, lack of fresh air and so on. Similarly, to "eliminate pornography" from the source, skin care products are not omnipotent; But it is absolutely impossible to leave skin care products-at least you can make a "shiny surface".
Not all whitening products can go yellow, and those that can go yellow are not necessarily in the whitening series. You should distinguish when choosing. Yellowing is caused by free radicals-when the skin's metabolism slows down and its self-repair function declines, under the stimulation of ultraviolet rays, free radicals tend to flood, leading to poor skin microcirculation, insufficient oxygen supply to cells and accumulation of toxins, which makes the skin yellow. Therefore, the selected skin care products should pay special attention to detoxification and antioxidant functions.
Black: melanin accumulation Ultraviolet radiation is the main reason for activating melanin and causing pigment deposition.
The formation of pigmentation is due to the deposition of melanin in the basal layer (between stratum corneum and dermis), and then slowly emerge from the skin surface; Uneven skin tone, tanned skin, or looking dirty and colorful are all melanin deposits on the epidermis. There is more oil in the pores of oily skin, which makes it easier to absorb ultraviolet rays, and melanin will accumulate around the pore wall, making the pores look darker and more obvious; The overall skin color also tends to be dark.
Therefore, in order to dilute the stain, we must use whitening essence, go deep into the basal layer of the skin, and block the root of melanin; In order to even the skin color and restore whiteness, we should choose a whitening emulsion/cream with strong functions, which mainly acts on the epidermis and can also get results.
Did you find out? The same enemy that causes black, yellow and black skin is ultraviolet rays. Therefore, in order to get "snow muscle and ice skin", we must first "block" ultraviolet rays-full spectrum sun protection, sun protection every day!
Clean and remove keratin accumulation.
In whitening series, there are often many exfoliating products, but the most important one is cleaning products. You don't have to expect whitening facial cleanser and whitening makeup to whiten your skin. The whitening ingredients will be washed away by water in a short time, and the content is too small to play a whitening role. However, their function of removing old and waste keratin from the skin surface is clear. Therefore, if your skin is not dark or thin and sensitive, it is unnecessary and inappropriate to use whitening facial cleanser and lotion with exfoliating function every day. If you need to exfoliate, you would rather choose mild exfoliating (or exfoliating) products for weekly care, such as FANCL moisture penetration mask, Clinique rejuvenation and softening mask, biotherm wisdom whitening and freckle removing mask, etc. , and exfoliate regularly or only when necessary.
If your skin is "strong" and prone to keratin accumulation, whitening facial cleanser and whitening emulsion with exfoliating effect are good choices-if you want to strengthen hydration, you can also add moisturizing liquid or moisturizing beauty liquid with better moisturizing after whitening emulsion. At the same time, when choosing whitening facial cleanser, we should also pay attention to adapt to our skin-there was only one facial cleanser in the previous whitening series, but this year's Clinique Extraordinary Whitening Series and Oprah Time and Space Whitening Series. , subdivides the different cleaning needs of dry to oily skin, and is safer to use. Skin can be roughly divided into dry, neutral, oily, mixed, sensitive and acne type. Now we begin to analyze human skin, and you can compare it with self-identity. Then choose whitening products according to the characteristics of the skin. It is better to prescribe the right medicine than to see a doctor in a hurry.
Characteristics of dry skin: small pores, few blisters, tight, fragile, dull skin, difficult to put on makeup, easy to peel off, especially cheeks, very sensitive to sunlight and cold, rarely sunburned, easy to sunburn, early wrinkles around eyes, lips and forehead.
The characteristics of neutral skin: fine cortex, uniform skin color, no blisters, clean skin, soft skin, easy to put on makeup, not easy to take off makeup, no oily or dry scars, not sensitive to sunlight, sunburn and sometimes sunburn.
The key to whitening dry skin: hydrating and moisturizing.
Suggestion: Choose plant whitening products (various whitening plant extracts, such as licorice extract) or marine whitening products (including seaweed and marine biological collagen, etc.). ). Choose mild cleansing products, toner is mainly to moisturize and soften the skin, and choose cream products to moisturize. Don't forget, you can also choose a whitening repair product for dry skin, such as whitening night cream, to help cells better absorb whitening ingredients.
Because the cuticle of dry skin is thin, the skin is easily stimulated by the external environment, so choosing whitening products containing desensitizing ingredients, such as witch hazel and aloe, has a good protective effect on the skin.
Characteristics of oily skin: large pores, shiny face, obvious T-shaped part, common blisters, soft skin, few wrinkles, easy to take off makeup, easy to tan and not easy to get sunburned.
The key to whitening oily skin: refreshing and oil-free deep cleaning.
Early whitening products, oily skin MM suffered a lot, and the whitening products became darker and darker. This is because the previous technology stabilized vitamin C in thick cream products, but in summer, friends with oily skin will get more oil themselves, and if they use cream products, they will have more oil. In addition, there was no concept of UVA sun protection before, only UVB sun protection. When the sun shines on the skin, the face is still white in the morning, oily at noon and yellower in the afternoon than without whitening products.
Suggestion: We must choose products with stable whitening ingredients and good hydrophilicity, and it is better to whiten with fresh water or choose oil-free moisturizing whitening products.
For example, Vichy's double whitening, the brand-new White plus, Lancome, Kao, Breeding Hall and other low-priced little nurses launched by Clarins in 2004, most of the whitening products they developed are pure, moist and fat-free.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about using darker whitening products for oily skin now, unless you have never used sunscreen products that prevent UVA and UVB after using whitening products.
In the whitening care of oily skin, deep cleaning once a week is also very important. The stratum corneum of oily skin is thick, especially in summer, and it is best to do deep cleaning once a week. After deep cleaning, use a refreshing whitening hydrating mask to help the skin meet the care of various whitening ingredients in the freshest state after exfoliation.
There are three types of mixed skin:
(1)T-shaped parts are oily, with large pores and common blisters. Cheek skin is clean and tender, with few blisters, delicate skin texture and even skin color, which is the most common mixed skin.
(2)T-shaped parts have little oil and acne, and the pores of cheek skin are very small, and there are few acne, which is prone to wrinkles and fine lines.
(3) The T-shaped part is oily, with large pores, large blisters and shiny appearance. However, cheek skin is a rare mixed skin with small pores, few blisters, easy peeling, tight skin, wrinkles and fine lines.
The key to mixed skin whitening: moist and gentle, moisturizing.
Suggestion: Mixed skin is easy to become sensitive or dehydrated, and they need long-acting moisturizing factors, such as collagen, witch hazel (with anti-allergic effect), orange or aloe and licorice extract (whitening and moisturizing), mucopolysaccharide, pure vitamin C and other ingredients. In particular, licorice extract and pure vitamin C can not only moisturize the skin, but also whiten the skin and enhance elasticity.
For mixed skin, it is best to choose "double-effect" moisturizing and whitening products. Vichy's double whitening is good, and Chanel's whitening series is also eye-catching, containing 12 times licorice essence, but it's too expensive! Love money ~ ~ ~! ! The whitening mask of mixed skin should also be a moisturizing mask or a milky mask.
The characteristics of sensitive skin: the cuticle of skin is thin, the face will flush when it is cold or hot, or there will be red blood, and there will be spots when there are acne. These are mainly caused by thin stratum corneum and decreased skin resistance.
Sensitive skin and dry skin are like relatives. In spring and autumn, under the condition of uncertain temperature and environment, dry skin is the easiest to become sensitive, and oily and dehydrated skin is also easy to become sensitive.
The key to whitening sensitive skin: first hydrate and moisturize, reduce the skin allergy rate, and then whiten.
Suggestion: If the moisturizing work is done well, then the whitening products must choose whitening ingredients containing plants or oceans. Of course, no matter what kind of product you choose, don't forget to do an allergy test on the inside of your hand or behind your ear first. Clarins and Clinique's whitening products have passed the sensitivity test.
When using whitening conditioning water for sensitive skin, you can pat the water directly on your face without a cotton pad to avoid causing skin discomfort, which is also different from other types of skin care. Similarly, like dry skin, you can choose a moisturizing and whitening night cream and add moisturizing essence before the night cream to help it absorb better.
No matter what kind of skin you are, when choosing whitening products, it is recommended that you choose the same brand of basic care series, or even the same series of whitening products. However, the mixed skin may use a product selected from care products suitable for dry or oily skin.
There are several reasons for the formation of rough skin: dry skin and lack of water lead to rough peeling; Did not remove the cuticle of the skin on time; After skin allergy, there is no good care; Use cosmetics that are not suitable for skin; Often stay up late and wait.
What measures should be taken to transform and care for rough skin? First of all, find out the specific reasons, then change cosmetics to avoid allergies and so on. But in any case, it is fundamental to remove the stratum corneum on time. Only in this way can we ensure the glossiness of skin and the absorption of skin care products.
For example, bath salts containing hot spring mineral active ingredients can effectively remove dead skin and improve rough skin. When taking a bath, you can apply it all over your body and gently massage it, which can not only wake up tired skin, but also moisturize tender and white skin. At present, many white-collar women have taken "bath salt skin care" as a way to pursue a healthy life.
Can mottled black skin be fair as soon as possible?
Dr. Wu, an expert in beauty and skin care at Beijing Medical University, believes that, first of all, it is impossible to have fair skin in a short time. In addition, whether it is related to your recent fatigue, paying attention to rest is also one of the whitening methods. If you want to whiten quickly, choosing a foundation that suits your skin color can have an immediate whitening effect. Especially for oily skin, foundation is very important for adjusting skin color, absorbing excess oil and keeping skin smooth without excessive oil stains. The purplish concealer can also cover spots and improve the yellow and black complexion. Usually, you can use whitening products for a long time, such as whitening products containing retinoic acid, fruit acid, vitamin E, C, B3, mulberry essence, etc. Long-term use has certain whitening effect. In addition, sun protection is very important, and people with darker skin are more likely to get a tan, so sun protection is the first step in whitening. We should also have a correct understanding of whitening products, because everyone's natural skin color is different, which cannot be changed by the acquired whitening products, so the whitening effect should be compared with that before use, not with others.
