1. Don't use similar products together
People often think that using similar products together will enhance their effectiveness. However, this idea is incorrect. Experts say that it is best not to use skincare products with similar effects at the same time.
Due to similar ingredients or effects, the efficacy of the products may be weakened or canceled out when combined.
The reason is simple. No matter how brands promote their products, skincare products with similar effects have very similar ingredients or working principles. In addition, the skin's ability to absorb is limited, and excessive nutrition cannot be absorbed by the skin, which may even cause adverse reactions.
2. Pay attention to the order of use
Except for cleansing, the order of using skincare products is generally as follows: toner, essence, gel, lotion, cream, and oil-based products.
The reason for this is that oil-based products have larger molecules and higher moisturizing properties, and they form a film on the surface of the skin after application.
If these products are applied first, the smaller molecules of watery or essence-like products will be difficult to be absorbed by the skin, let alone exert their effects.
3. Choose soothing ingredients for sensitive skin
If you have sensitive skin, it is recommended to choose skincare products from different brands that contain calming and soothing ingredients such as retinyl palmitate and beta-carotene. Use them promptly when experiencing dryness, peeling, redness, or other discomforts to minimize damage to the skin.
