Q1: What should oily skin focus on when cleansing?
A: Many people with oily skin think that no matter what age they are, the cleaning method is the same. This is actually a wrong understanding. Before the age of 30, sebum secretion will be very active, and both morning and evening cleansing should involve deep cleansing so that the skin stays clear and free from acne. After the age of 30, sebum secretion is not as vigorous, and if you continue to cleanse deeply as before, it can harm the skin's stratum corneum and water retention. It is recommended to replace overly alkaline foam products and soap products with lotion products containing salicylic acid and amino acids. One, it can make the pores more breathable; two, it can enhance the elasticity of the skin. Weekly exfoliation should be adjusted to once every two weeks.
Q2: What are the differences in choosing toners at the ages of 30 and 20?
A: For mature skin around the age of 30, when hydrating, it is important to use dewy toners containing silk protein, amino peptides, vitamin A, vitamin E, etc. These are high in nutrition and include multiple functional components to meet the skin’s needs for anti-dryness, anti-aging, and anti-pigmentation. The skin feels sticky and glossy after application, and there will be no additional fine lines after using for half a month. For skin around the age of 20, when hydrating, the focus should be on selecting watery toners. If the skin feels hydrated and slightly sticky after use, the hydration requirement has been met, and there is no need to overly consider the various high-nutrient components in the toner.
Q3: Is it enough to just use whitening products after sun exposure?
A: Of course not. After sun exposure, the skin may become darker, drier, and rougher. Using only whitening products clearly cannot meet the post-sun care requirements. If the skin is exposed to the sun for more than an hour in a day, the correct care steps should be: 1. Warm cleaning; 2. Whitening toner; 3. Intense hydration toner; 4. Anti-aging essence or cream.
Q4: How should you care for your skin after squeezing out blackheads?
A: Whether using your hands or a comedo extractor to squeeze out blackheads can cause damage to the skin around the pores. If squeezed long-term, the pores will be unable to repair themselves, so squeezing blackheads is not recommended. Once blackheads are squeezed out, the following three points should be noted: 1. Immediately use pore-minimizing toner to gently pat the skin around the pores; 2. Use a chilled lotion (kept in the refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes) to lightly wipe the area around the pores; 3. Apply a moisturizer or essence that enhances skin elasticity.
Q5: At the age of 30, which skincare products must be upgraded?
A: Skin around the age of 35 is in the early stages of aging. If the skincare method is not appropriate, it will age quickly. The types of skincare products that need upgrading include toners, lotions, essences, and creams. Among these, the most important are essences and creams. From the perspective of cosmetic production, essences and creams are relatively oil-based products where multiple nutrients are encapsulated in oil molecules, better satisfying the various needs of aging skin. Once combined with surfactants, the ingredients remain stable, do not easily evaporate, and do not easily spoil.
