Introduction to basic skin care steps for women

It is very important to master the steps of skin care, because if the steps are not correct, it may affect the skin care effect, and sometimes it may even have a counterproductive effect. Therefore, we must not be careless about skin care, especially before going to bed. If you want to achieve better skin care goals, you must pay attention to carefully choose drinks before going to bed, try not to eat before going to bed, and pay attention to removing makeup thoroughly.

Step 1: Avoid eating supper before going to bed

If you don’t want to wake up in the morning and find your face swollen like a pancake, you must resist eating for two hours before going to bed, especially foods high in salt, which are more likely to cause edema.

Step 2: Choose your bedtime drink carefully

Although drinking a little wine before bed can help sleep and health, drinking too much will cause blood vessels to dilate and cause edema. Especially mixed alcohol, sugary soda and fruit juice are more likely to cause swelling. If you really want to drink something flavorful, try fennel tea, mint tea or chamomile tea, which can help relieve bloating, or try grapefruit juice with a little mustard, which is also good for the skin, but don't overdo it!

Step 3: Remove makeup carefully and wash your face twice

If you don’t want to find that your eye makeup was not removed thoroughly and you have panda eyes when you wake up the next day, you can wash your face twice the day before. For the first application, use a cream-based makeup remover to remove makeup, and then use a gel-based facial cleanser to remove oil stains. After washing your face, apply moisturizing products immediately to prevent your skin from becoming too dry.

Step 4: Give your eyes some caffeine

If you want to reduce eye edema and improve dark circles, there are many rumored tips, such as applying tea bags, hot spoons, etc. There is a basis for these rumors, as the caffeine in tea bags can constrict blood vessels, thus reducing dark circles under the eyes. But of course we do not recommend using tea bags. Instead, you can choose an eye cream containing the same ingredients, which will make you feel safer when using it.

Step 5: Annoying pimples disappear

If you find that a pimple is about to break out on your face, you can apply a thick layer of anti-inflammatory product on the pimple before going to bed, then cover it with medicated breathable tape and press it gently. The next day you will find that the pimple has become smaller and less red and swollen. If you want to cover acne scars when putting on makeup in the morning, you can also try the little secret of socialite Sun Yunyun: apply concealer first, press with powder and then cover the concealer again to ensure that the acne scars are not visible.

Step 6: Do some small exercises in bed

Doing some light exercise in bed before going to bed for 3 to 5 minutes can make you have a slimmer body the next day. For example, sweet girl Patty Hou always lifts her legs before going to bed, and puts them down only when her feet become numb. In addition, exercises like tapping the gallbladder meridian, stretching, cycling in the air, and back kicking all have the effect of lifting the buttocks and slimming the thighs.
