Chapter One: Hydration
A healthy skin surface should contain 12%-15% water. Skin with sufficient hydration looks plump and not only feels soft and smooth, but also appears elastic, radiating youthful brilliance. However, once it lacks water, apart from dryness and roughness, fine wrinkles will appear, and the fleeting youth won't return. Therefore, don't be careless. From this, we can see how important hydration is. To have a good hydrated skin, start now.
1. Drink enough water, at least eight large glasses of water every day. Besides drinking water, remember to eat more fruits.
2. Avoid wind and sun exposure as much as possible. Minimize outdoor activities.
3. Do not wash your face with excessively hot water. After washing your face, always use toner to replenish moisture.
4. Choose moisturizing skincare products with high hydrating effects to directly help retain skin moisture.
5. Use masks with hydrating effects for an SOS treatment on dry and dehydrated skin.
6. Use spray mineral water or hydrating lotion. When you feel your skin is dry, they are effective. Especially in air-conditioned rooms, spraying them on your face not only keeps the skin hydrated but also refreshes and revitalizes.
Chapter Two: Pore Refinement
Enlarged pores are a common skin issue for many men and women. The cause lies in the combination of dust and oil on the skin surface, which oxidizes upon contact with air. Over time, this leads to annoying blackheads and enlarged pores. But when the problem of enlarged pores appears, it makes one look listless and fails to achieve the delicate and refined qualities of a princess.
Pore refinement tips:
1. Ice pack - Soak a cotton pad with chilled toner and apply it to your face or areas with large pores for a good tightening effect.
2. Cold towel compress - Place a clean dedicated small towel in the refrigerator. After washing your face, gently press the cold towel on your face for a few seconds.
3. Fruit mask - Watermelon peel, lemon peel, etc., can be used for facial masks. They have multiple effects such as excellent pore contraction, softening, inhibiting oil secretion, and whitening.
4. Lemon juice cleansing - People with oily skin can add a few drops of lemon juice into clear water while washing their face. It can tighten pores and reduce acne and pimples (but note that the concentration should not be too strong, and do not apply lemon juice directly on your face).
5. Cotton pad + toner - Prepare a small bottle of oil-free toner with cotton pads beforehand. An hour later, spray toner onto the cotton pad and gently wipe the oily areas. For you with enlarged pores, this is refreshing and effective.
Chapter Three: Firming Skin
The shape and size of a person's facial contour determine their temperament and impression, especially for beauty-conscious ladies who are strict with themselves. Having a firm and perfect facial contour is everyone's dream. Let's become delicate and refined women together.
Firming tips:
1. Start from the Chengjiang acupoint under the chin and push up diagonally to the lower part of the ear root.
2. Start from the Dicang acupoint at the corners of the mouth and push up diagonally to the middle-upper part of the ear root.
3. Push from the Zanzhu acupoint between the eyebrows to the temples three to four times, pressing the temple at the last stroke.
4. Slide along the lower eyelid below the temple to the bridge of the nose, then go up to the eyebrows and follow the upper edge of the eyebrows back to the temple, forming a circular massage. End at the Yintang acupoint in the middle of the eyebrows with a press.
5. Starting from the Yintang acupoint, alternate hands and slide down the bridge of the nose lightly about six times.
6. Slide from the Chengjiang acupoint under the chin to the Renzhong position.
7. Take an appropriate amount of neck cream, close the four fingers of both hands, rub them together to warm up. Start pushing up from the left clavicle with the right hand to the back of the left ear root. Do the same with the left hand, finally alternating hands to massage the neck.
Chapter Four: Whitening
Of course, there are many ways to whiten, but whitening isn't something that happens in a day or two. Patience and perseverance are what build beautiful white skin. Here are a few daily whitening methods. If you do them regularly, I believe you will definitely turn into Snow White.
Whitening tips:
1. Whitening conditioning - After cleaning your skin, use moisturizing conditioner containing whitening ingredients. This reduces melanin transfer and inhibits its formation. You can use it as toner normally. If used with cotton pads, it can act as a whitening mask, enhancing whitening and moisturizing care. Long-term use of moisturizing beauty conditioners can increase the skin's water content, making the skin transparent while whitening, and after water-lipid balance, it's easier for skincare products to be absorbed.
2. Want to get white fast? Whitening essence is a must. Essence is used after toner and mostly contains Vitamin C, kojic acid, Vitamin B3, etc. Not only does it whiten and repair, but it also nourishes the skin. If you choose the right essence suitable for your skin, usually after 4~8 weeks, you can see the whitening effect.
3. Use isolation cream. During the day, it's inevitable to encounter sunspots-producing sunlight, dirty air, and computer radiation. Using isolation cream keeps the skin away from these killers. It’s recommended to choose isolation creams with sun protection, nourishment, whitening, and isolation functions.
4. Use masks. Apply whitening masks on your face (once or twice a week). You can choose peel-off or cleansing types. Currently, various over-the-counter beauty stores sell all kinds of whitening masks, even DIY masks made from antibacterial cotton that allow you to mix your own formulas, which are excellent choices.
5. Utilize the best whitening time for women - the follicular phase. Women's skin physiological cycle has a golden period with extremely high whitening effects. During ovulation, yellow hormones are secreted in the body, often causing spots and active melanin. Using whitening products during this period is hard to achieve ideal results. However, the whitening effect is good from the onset of menstruation to the next ovulation period during the follicular phase.
