I started skin care when I was in college, and summarized the following points, which are some summaries of my personal thoughts and experiences (for reference only), hoping to help some boys who are (preparing) to explore skin care.
First, protect your skin. I think you should control your mouth first.
Many boys, including me, used to like to eat very greasy and spicy food, but it was a heavy mouth anyway. You say it's ok to eat once or twice a week, but you still eat it often every day, and you don't eat much green vegetables. Not to mention the stimulation of these spicy and greasy foods on the stomach (definitely irritating, people with bad stomachs generally have bad skin), and more importantly, it will make you malnourished. Anyway, when I eat spicy food, I always get acne on my forehead and under my nose. I basically started to get acne when I was eating and sleeping. Later, I always forced myself to eat vegetables and some yogurt to improve my diet. Now my complexion and acne are much better.
Second, drinking more water is good for your skin.
The moisture content of the skin must not be less, but I used to drink fruit juice carbonated drinks every day to quench my thirst, including many buddies. In the long run, the skin will certainly not get better, and it will do great harm to your body.
Anyway, I now realize that a person's skin can't be well if his body is malnourished, or his stomach is bad, or he lacks water. Only when he is in good health can his skin be really good.
Then there are some external changes and skin care products.
Third, don't wash your face with men's facial cleanser sold in the supermarket.
Men's facial cleansers sold in supermarkets, such as Mentholatum, L 'Oreal and Nivea, not to mention that men's facial cleansers are more expensive than women's, which is too harmful to oily skin. Because those facial cleansers put too much emphasis on strong degreasing, especially boys who wash their faces, which is completely different from those who wash their faces. There's no oil at all. It's slippery and dry. Or some facial cleansers even add mint and so on, just to pursue the super cool feeling after washing. I have used these facial cleansers before, and they feel clean and refreshing after washing, but the oil comes out quickly. Generally, when you wash your face in the morning, you feel a lot of oil on your face before noon. I thought it was my face (my face is mixed, and both sides of the oil in the T area are dry), but later I learned that it was an imbalance between water and oil. Generally speaking, men's facial cleanser has too strong oil removal power, but the skin is not good, the skin is thinner and thinner, and the water and oil on the face are seriously unbalanced.
Fourth, it is important to know what skin you are.
Common skin types are oily (most boys), neutral, dry (troublesome), mixed dry, mixed oily (in addition, there are many mixed types and fine classification) and sensitive. There are all kinds of posts on the internet to identify skin types, so you must check them yourself. Then you must choose the skin care products that suit you according to your skin type. If you are sensitive, then you should never buy irritating skin care products such as alcohol, no matter how expensive and effective, you are sensitive. If you have dry skin, buy skin care products suitable for dry skin, and don't buy skin care products for oily skin foolishly. A friend of mine is an example. He chose the wrong skin care products, resulting in a lot of acne on his face. If you choose the wrong cosmetics, you will not only spend a lot of money, but also scold the skin care products at home that are not easy to use, ruin your face and damage the skin on your face, which is not worth the candle.
Fifth, we must pay attention to skin care. If boys want to get better skin, they must pay attention.
Skin care takes a long time, which requires a person's willpower. You should know to get up early every morning, take photos of all kinds of skin care products before going to work, and then insist on washing your face and taking photos of cosmetics before going to bed at night. Eat chicken after lol and don't sleep. And I have to make a mask or something from time to time. I felt very excited and interested at first, and then I became lazy. This is a common problem for boys. Now I am often too lazy to wash my face or apply toner, but I still have to force myself to do so. Moreover, there may be various maladjustments in the initial stage of skin care, such as skin maladjustment, small peas, or no effect, which will make it particularly difficult to adhere to skin care. So, if you really want skin care, please stick to it and have perseverance.
Sixth, there must be a complete skin care process.
The general process of skin care every night is to wash your face (clean with facial cleanser)+toner (hydrating, acne removing and anti-inflammatory)+essence (supplementing nutrition, removing acne marks and scars, etc.). )+lotion (moisturizing)/cream (water-locking effect) varies from person to person and from season to season. If you make a mask, you usually do it after washing your face, which is used for deep cleaning or supplementing nutrition. These steps are necessary for skin care. Combining the two can get twice the result with half the effort, and the effect is obvious, don't you think? However, if you only replenish water without subsequent moisturizing or water locking, it will lead to poor hydrating effect, so you must pay attention to the process of skin care.
Seven, the choice of skin care products
I only recommend one point, because it varies from person to person. It really varies from person to person. Be sure to choose the one that suits you best according to your financial resources, not the most expensive one or the one that suits you best. Just like fairy water, many people are allergic after using it, and there is also the mystery of sea blue. Some people have no effect after using it. I recommend boys to use some relatively mild facial cleanser, which is rich in foam, mild in texture and easy to clean. Toner must be available, because the process of hydrating is particularly critical, and some toners have particularly good anti-inflammatory and acne-removing effects. For example, Keyan Blue Water is particularly useful for acne, but personally, I don't know anything else. Elite boys can be exempted, but people and young people who want to get rid of acne scars should also be able to use it. I recommend going to the cosmetics counter or Sephora and trying one yourself. According to my own financial resources, I am comfortable to use it myself, and the effect should be obvious when I wear one. Brand, what innisfree, Kiehl's, Lancome, biotherm, etc. Try according to your own preferences. If an old man is embarrassed to go, find more buddies to go with, or find a girlfriend to accompany him. Jumeiyoupin Le Bee Network Taobao JD.COM and the like are not recommended, because the online shopping of skin care products is too deep. Cosmetics online shopping is too deep to try several times. After all, it is used on the face. I bought it at the counter and brought back many samples, samples and the like. In fact, there is really not much difference.
Then there is actually a small coup. If you have a girlfriend, your girlfriend will definitely take care of skin care, and there are all kinds of skin care products. Just use your girlfriend's and let your girlfriend help you with your advice. Anyway, according to my buddy, my skin has improved a lot after using my girlfriend's skin care products, which may be the unique effect of my girlfriend's skin care products. (However, I'm single dog. See you manually. )
I think skin care is a way of life, which makes my life less rough, finer and better to meet life. Personal hygiene was poor before learning skin care, and then I didn't care about hair, skin care, clothes, etc. As a southern boy, it should be very bumpy, but it is also quite normal. Then after starting skin care, I began to study dressing, hairstyle, skin care and so on. Obviously, I feel that my life has changed a lot and it is not so rough. Then I pay more attention to hygiene and personal hygiene. I feel that this is just like fitness, which can improve my overall quality. But I'm definitely not saying that men who don't exercise or skin care have poor overall quality. They will still think of my mother. Anyway, this is a personal preference and choice.
Skin care is really a physical activity. It was fun at first, but then it became more and more annoying. Just get used to it. Then this is also a very expensive job. Buying a better brand is basically 1K smaller, so it is really a double challenge of economy and psychology for myself, and it is also a pit. However, if male gods like Wallace Chung and Jimmy Lin are still young at the age of 40, skin care is worthwhile. Maybe it's not impossible to find a girl to reach the peak of her life after starting skin care. Skin care I think, the inherent eating habits, even your temper, lifestyle and hygiene habits are more important factors than skin care products. It suddenly occurred to me that boys should not always touch their faces with dirty hands. Really, it is very important to wash their hands frequently, so as to develop good hygiene habits. Then there is the rational use of cosmetics and skin care products.
Today, boys' skin care experience is shared here, and they will be updated after thinking about it. Welcome to discuss your skin care experience, comment or write to me privately.
