It's that time of year again when the skin needs extra care. The unpredictable weather of autumn and winter can cause all sorts of skin issues. Even though you've prioritized hydration in your skincare routine early, the desired results are slow to appear. So, where exactly is the problem? Do you know how to choose a hydration routine based on different climates? Hydration requires more than just replenishing water; it’s a meticulous process!
**Skin Condition Characteristics**: Obvious dryness on the cheeks, with flaky skin as if the dead skin cells haven't been properly exfoliated. The T-zone appears oily, forming a stark contrast with the cheeks, which is a typical sign of dehydrated skin with excess oil production.
**Hydration Routine**: To keep the skin hydrated during the dry seasons, both water and oil replenishment must be done simultaneously. In a dry climate, focusing solely on "hydration" while neglecting appropriate "oil replenishment" can lead to continued water loss. This happens because the skin secretes excessive oil to lock in moisture, making it even oilier than before.
**Hydration Helper**: Yishengmei Collagen. Yishengmei Collagen launches anew this autumn and winter, bringing you a refreshed 24-hour collagen essence to invigorate your skin. It not only combats wrinkles but also enhances hydration and moisture retention, lifts facial contours, and boosts skin vitality. While providing basic hydration and moisture-locking, it actively captures moisture around the cells, ensuring the skin stays hydrated for 24 hours, soft, and elastic!
When the moisture content in the skin's stratum corneum drops below 10% (normally between 10%-20%), the skin becomes dry. Loss of water makes the skin rough, losing its softness, elasticity, and lubrication, leading to the formation of wrinkles. Collagen's unique triple-helix structure creates ample space that effectively locks water molecules, forming numerous hydrophilic groups. Therefore, collagen has an exceptional water storage capacity, maintaining the necessary moisture in the skin and keeping it hydrated, radiant, and lustrous.
