Anyone who regularly takes care of their skin knows that applying night cream is an essential part of evening skincare routine. Some people may be afraid that applying a thin layer of night cream will not be effective, so they apply a thick layer on their face. However, I want to tell you that the amount of night cream needed varies from person to person, and generally, only a thin layer is sufficient. So, do you know the specific functions of night cream and how to correctly touch up your makeup after it has worn off?
1. The Beauty Benefits of Night Cream
1. Moisturizing
Night creams contain powerful moisturizing ingredients that can nourish the stratum corneum and provide nutrients to make the skin smooth and supple.
2. Repairing
Night creams usually contain plant extracts, vitamins, minerals, and other essential ingredients that help the skin maintain its barrier, prevent dehydration, soften the epidermis, and promote skin metabolism. This provides comprehensive repair from the inside out.
3. Whitening
Night creams often contain whitening ingredients that can effectively remove dead skin cells and allow whitening agents to penetrate quickly.
4. Anti-aging
Night creams also contain high levels of collagen, elastin fibers, plant extracts, moisturizing factors, antioxidants, and other ingredients that can accelerate skin metabolism, repair aging and damaged cells, and restore youthful skin.
5. Firming
Night creams actively promote the tightening of the epidermis, preventing skin from aging and sagging, and reducing the occurrence of wrinkles.
2. Tips for Applying Night Cream
1. Not everyone needs night cream: If your skin is young and has a strong metabolism, it is unnecessary to use night cream for basic moisturizing and nourishment. Using too much night cream will only burden the skin. Only when your skin experiences problems such as dehydration, dullness, aging, slow metabolism, or decreased elasticity, should you start using night cream.
2. Not every day requires night cream: If you have combination skin, you don't need to apply night cream every day. Using it about 3 times a week is sufficient.
3. Choosing the right night cream: It's not about using the most moisturizing night cream, but rather selecting one based on your skin condition.
4. Night creams are highly nutritious, so only a thin layer is needed to apply. Applying too much can hinder absorption and clog pores, which is counterproductive.
3. Correct Steps for Touching Up Makeup
1. Use oil-absorbing sheets to absorb excess oil on the face, mainly focusing on the T-zone.
2. Use a moisturizing mist and spray it about 10 centimeters away from the face. This not only provides hydration but also effectively soothes the skin.
3. Gently pat dry the face with a cotton pad or tissue to remove excess moisture.
4. Prepare a clean powder puff and apply pressed powder evenly on the face, pressing gently to make it adhere to the skin.
5. Touch up the makeup on other parts of the face as needed.
