1. Morning skin care steps
During the day, the focus of skin care is moisturizing and sun protection, so that the skin can maintain oil-water balance for a long time and avoid accelerating skin aging.
Step 1: Gently cleanse your face
The first step in facial care is cleansing. Even when you sleep at night, your face will still secrete oil. Oil and dirt must be washed off after waking up. The most suitable water temperature for washing your face is between 25 and 30 degrees, it should not be too cold or too hot because it can reduce the cleansing ability or stimulate oil secretion.
In addition, if the amount of oil secreted on the face is small, you can just wash your face with water. For skin that is prone to oil secretion, you should use a facial cleanser to clean it.
Step 2: Apply lotion + essence
After cleansing the face, we can apply lotion and essence. Use a gentle patting method to help the skin absorb evenly, keeping the skin moist but not sticky. Can help cosmetics adhere to the skin better and help the makeup look more perfect.
Step 3: Apply moisturizer
After moisturizing your skin, don’t forget to lock in moisture to keep your skin hydrated. It’s better to use a light-textured lotion or cream during the day. Just apply a thin layer to your face and massage gently until fully absorbed.
Step 4: Apply appropriate sunscreen
Finally, you need to apply sunscreen to complete the facial care steps. Depending on your makeup needs, you can choose to apply sunscreen or sunscreen makeup.
2. Evening skin care steps
After a hard day’s work, when you get home at night, your skin needs maintenance. The best order of facial care in the evening is: Remove makeup, clean, moisturize, apply mask, lock in moisture. At this time, you should use more moisturizing skin care products so that your skin can replenish enough moisture and nutrients.
Step 1: Remove makeup from entire face
We can choose makeup remover products according to our skin type to completely remove oil and makeup on the face, while reducing the risk of inflammation and acne due to clogged pores due to grease and leftover makeup.
Step 2: Cleanse your face
The focus of makeup removal and face washing is different. Makeup removal is mainly to remove oil and makeup, while face washing is to remove dead skin cells and impurities caused by pollution. Through facial cleanser, the skin can return to a cleaner and more stable state. Only then can skin care products penetrate the skin more effectively, keeping the skin soft.
Step 3: Apply moisturizer
The third step is to apply a light moisturizer, similar to the daytime care method, the purpose is to increase the skin’s moisture content, replenish the water lost and evaporated.
Step 4: Apply mask
Applying a mask is also a very important step in the evening skin care routine. Apply lotion before applying the mask to help absorb the essence in the mask. Between 9pm and 2am, the body produces melatonin to restore the skin, so applying a mask is most effective at night.
The mask application time should be controlled between 10 and 15 minutes. If the mask application time is too long, the dry mask will cause the skin to lose moisture, even cause allergies, redness and loss of moisturizing effect.
Step 5: Apply a layer of soothing cream/lotion
The final step in your skincare routine is to apply a cream/lotion to lock in moisture. Creams are lighter and more hydrating in texture, while creams are thicker and contain more oil. If your skin is prone to instability, choose a cream with simple, gentle ingredients to hydrate your skin while maintaining stability.
