5 steps to teach you how to take care of your skin

In winter, the climate is dry, so the skin tends to become dry, rough, and even flaky. Therefore, many people choose to use a lot of cosmetics in order to maintain good skin in winter. In fact, the more cosmetics you use, the more harmful they will be to your skin, because there are some chemical elements in cosmetics that can damage the skin. So what are the steps to maintain your skin?

What are the steps to care for your skin? In fact, there are certain methods to care for your skin. You can't do it blindly. You can't just use a facial cleanser because you see others using it. It is important to understand whether your skin is oily or dry so that you can choose cosmetics that will not cause damage to your skin.

Step 1: Cleaning

Summer is here, the weather is hot, and the skin secretes relatively more oil, so you still need to use facial cleanser to clean in the morning in summer. Girls with dry skin can use milder lotion-like cleansing products, while girls with oily and combination skin should use foam-type cleansing products with stronger cleaning power.

Recommended for dry skin: Softening Cleanser

It is non-alkaline (pH 6.5, close to the normal pH of the skin), fragrance-free and non-drying. It is extremely mild and has low skin irritation. It can form a natural protective film to reduce skin itching, redness, swelling and desquamation. It can be used for patients with mild atopic dermatitis and for fragile skin after laser, pulsed light or fruit acid treatment. The usage is also very flexible. It can be cleaned by dry wiping, which can achieve good cleaning results without using water.

Recommended for oily and combination skin: KOSE Seikisei Facial Cleansing Soap

Choose facial soap ingredients that do not irritate the skin, and add a large amount of sebum-like beauty ingredients that can moisturize the skin.

Step 2: Toning

After cleansing, apply toner immediately so that the skin with sufficient moisture will appear smooth and tender. For toner, girls with dry skin can choose moisturizing toner, while girls with oily and combination skin should choose refreshing toner with oil-control effect.

Recommended for oily and combination skin: Clarins Balancing Toner

Step 3: Essence

After applying toner on your face, you should apply essence. If you want fair skin, you can choose whitening essence. If you want to have supple skin, you can choose moisturizing essence. If you want to inhibit oil secretion, you can use oil-control essence.

Step 4: Cream/Lotion

After applying the essence, you need to use cream or lotion to lock it in for better absorption. Girls with dry skin can choose creams with less oil and thinner texture in the summer, while girls with oily or combination skin can choose more refreshing lotions.

Step 5: Isolation/Sunscreen

For girls who don’t usually wear makeup, applying sunscreen is the last step before going out. In the summer when ultraviolet rays are strong, you need to choose sunscreen with SPF15/PA+ or above to protect exposed skin from getting tanned. When applying sunscreen, don’t just focus on your face. Also, be fully protective of your neck and arms that are exposed to the sun. Many primers on the market now also contain sun protection factors, and some have the effect of retouching. If you use a primer containing sun protection, you can also skip the step of sunscreen.
