The correct sequence of daily skincare steps can be summarized as follows:
1. Cleansing: Use warm water or mild cleansing products to clean the face, removing dirt, oil, and makeup residue. Be careful to avoid excessive cleaning to avoid damaging the skin barrier.
2. Toner/toner: Use toner or toner to replenish moisture to the skin, regulate skin acid-base balance, and prepare for subsequent skincare steps. You can gently pat or apply by hand to the face.
3. Eye cream: The skin around the eyes is relatively fragile and requires special care. Take an appropriate amount of eye cream, gently apply it to the eye area with the ring finger, and gently massage until absorbed to improve dark circles, eye bags, fine lines, and other problems.
4. Essence liquid: essence liquid is the core of skin care steps. It contains high concentration of effective ingredients, which can improve specific skin problems. Choose appropriate essence according to your skin type and needs, such as moisturizing, whitening, anti-aging, etc., and apply it evenly on your face, gently massage until it is absorbed.
5. Lotion/face cream: lotion and face cream are both used to moisturize the skin, but their texture and moisture are different. Lotion is refreshing, suitable for oily or mixed skin; Face cream is more nourishing and suitable for dry skin. Apply proper amount of lotion or face cream evenly on the face and neck, and gently massage until absorbed.
6. Sunscreen (daytime only): If you need to go out, be sure to apply sunscreen at the last step of your skincare routine to protect your skin from UV damage. Choose sunscreen that suits your skin type and needs, and ensure that you apply enough to achieve effective sun protection.
The skincare steps are not fixed and can be flexibly adjusted according to factors such as skin type, age, season, etc. When choosing skincare products, it is important to pay attention to the ingredients and efficacy of the product, and avoid choosing products that contain irritating or harmful ingredients. During the skincare process, pay attention to gentle techniques and avoid excessive pulling and squeezing of the skin. Meanwhile, maintaining a balanced diet and regular sleep schedule also have a significant impact on skin health.
