3. Nursing methods for dry skin
First, replenish water in time to prevent excessive water loss.
After autumn, the climate is dry, the air humidity is low, and the skin loses water. It is necessary to pay special attention to hydrating and keeping the skin moist. Due to the large temperature difference in autumn, the cold and hot weather makes the skin less resistant to bacterial infection. Therefore, supplementing enough water to prevent excessive water loss is the most basic and primary skin care measure for women in autumn.
Second, don't change skin care products immediately.
When the seasons change, most MM are anxious to clean their dressing tables. In fact, don't change skin care products in early autumn. Because the climate changes frequently when the seasons change, it is difficult for the skin with the closest contact with the outside world to adapt to the adjustment. It is necessary to gradually change skin care products and observe skin changes at any time.
Third, the number of exfoliations should be appropriate.
For the skin damaged by ultraviolet rays, the accumulation of aged keratin leads to dull skin. Exfoliation was officially put on the agenda at this time, and the aging keratin and epidermal melanin with disordered texture were also metabolized, which slowed down the accumulation of acne, and the residual poison in summer was equal to half of the solution. But don't exfoliate too much because of impatience, otherwise it will stimulate inflammation. As long as 1-2 times a week (oily skin can be exfoliated several times, dry skin can be exfoliated once a week and a half), the speed of keratin accumulation will be slow after winter, and it will be enough to reduce it to once a week.
Fourth, moisturizing essence supplement.
After toner, the emulsion alone may not be strong enough, but the cream feels too greasy. At this time, you might as well use moisturizing essence to connect the two! The moisturizing essence of water quality can capture a lot of water, but it does not increase the burden on the skin, which is more useful than simply using lotion.
Moisturizing mask is often the most effective.
The similarity of skin care madman is that the skin is better than others, and moisturizing mask is the most effective! In addition to solving the problem of dry face, the loose pores on both cheeks will shrink because they are full of water and look more elastic.
Six, gentle and clean, avoid irritating the skin.
When changing seasons, it is best to put away the cleanser with strong cleaning power in summer and use mild cleaning products to avoid washing away the oil needed by the skin. In addition, choosing foam-intensive cleaning products is also one of the ways to reduce irritation!
Be sure to remember that washing your face is a "bubble washing", using dense and tight bubbles to clean every part of your skin, instead of touching your skin directly with your hands!
Seven, eat less spicy food
Spicy food includes pepper, pepper, cinnamon, ginger, onion and wine, especially ginger. These foods are hot and lose a lot of water during cooking, so they are easy to get angry after eating, which aggravates the harm of autumn dryness to our human body.
Although ginger has many benefits, it contains gingerol, which can stimulate the secretion of gastric juice and promote digestion. Ginger also contains gingerol, which can reduce the occurrence of gallstones. But it's best to eat less or not in autumn. The autumn climate itself is dry and dry, which hurts the lungs. In addition, eating spicy ginger is more likely to hurt the lungs and aggravate the loss of water in the human body.
