There is no end to the problems we face with our skin. However, our skin has the power to become beautiful by nature. The main purpose of skin care is to cleanse the skin and prevent dryness and UV rays. Let's review and master the basics of skin care.
The 3 basic steps of skincare!
Let's start with the 3 basic steps of skin care. The first step to effective skin care is to follow the correct order. For effective skincare, the first step is to follow the correct sequence of steps, and follow the simple steps of "wash, replenish, and protect" every day.
STEP 1: The basics of skin care! Cleanse your skin!
If you don't remove dirt and makeup, no matter how much you use, it will not penetrate into your skin. In addition, turnover may be disturbed. Be gentle, but remove it well.
Don't overdo it! Cleansing
Most make-up products these days are difficult to remove. The oil in the cleanser lifts the makeup and makes it easier to remove.
Always cleanse your skin on days when you wear makeup. Use a low-stimulus cleanser when your skin is sensitive, such as before menstruation, or when using light makeup. It is also important not to take too long and not to rub too hard. As is often said, the skin on your face is about as hot as a sheet of tissue paper! "It's easy to think that if makeup stays on your skin, it's bad for your skin, but it doesn't cause blemishes. It's easy to think that leaving makeup on the skin is bad for the skin, but it doesn't cause blemishes. After removing point makeup, gently spread the cleanser on the skin for 30 to 40 seconds and rinse it off. Cleansing is very hard on the skin.
Point makeup remover
Point makeup around the eyes and mouth cannot be removed by cleansing alone. It is important to take care of them separately with a remover. "Mascara that can be removed with hot water is popular, but waterproof make-up can only be removed with a remover. High cleansing power = high irritation to the skin, but removing it in a short time will reduce the burden on the skin.
The makeup will not leave behind stains, but if you rub it too hard, it will scratch the skin, which can cause stains. Also, mascara can cause your eyelashes to fall out if not removed properly.
Wash your face
Start by lathering up your face wash with clean hands. You may think that lathering is better, but you don't need a lot of foam. Lathering is effective in preventing irritation to the skin, but some cleansers do not foam well, so if you only focus on the amount of lather, you may end up with flaky skin. The most important thing is to gently and rhythmically stroke it. A quick wash is enough. It is also important to wipe it off with a clean towel as if you were gently rubbing it.
[STEP2] Moisturize your skin thoroughly.
Moisturize your skin with lotion and add oil with milky lotion and cream.
Lotion
After washing your face to cleanse your skin, moisturize it thoroughly with lotion. The right amount is the one that makes your skin feel fully moisturized. Use a generous amount of lotion. Be careful not to pat it on with your hands or cotton, as this may cause irritation. If your skin is dry, apply a layer of lotion.
Serum
For signs of aging such as spots, wrinkles, and sagging skin, add a serum to your skin care regimen. Choose a serum that can be applied to your skin depending on what kind of skin you have and what kind of skin you want to have.
Emulsions and creams
Moisture replenished by lotion will evaporate if left unattended. Emulsions and creams are used to prevent this from happening. You can use either of them depending on the condition of your skin. Adjust the amount according to the areas where your skin is dry and where you are concerned about sebum.
Massage
Massaging our face promotes oxygen and blood flow in our skin. Not only does this result in reducing puffiness, it also creates a brighter skin tone and appearance. The massage will also increase collagen production, which prevents the formation of wrinkles. You can call it the 'natural face lift'.

Drain lymph under eyes by gently massaging under eyes towards ear and then move fingers around eye to eyebrows and apply pressure before circling back to under eyes and repeat.
[STEP3] Take care of your skin from the inside too!
In addition to taking good care of your skin, you should also make sure to follow a good diet and lifestyle. The following are some of the causes of skin problems
-
Reactive oxygen species (ROS): Oxidation of the skin due to UV rays and cigarette smoking.
-
Poor nutrition: Lack of the five macronutrients that make up the skin.
-
Stress: Stress can cause inflammation of the skin.
-
Poor blood circulation: cold and lack of muscle mass can cause the skin to become flaky.
-
Lack of sleep: skin repair function and "growth hormone" are reduced.
This is where antioxidant care comes in. Antioxidant ingredients such as vitamin A, vitamin C, lycopene, astaxanthin, polyphenols, etc., can be incorporated into skin care or taken in the diet to grow healthy cells.
Conclusion
Even if you take good care of your skin, it will be ruined if you neglect UV care. Sunburn, spots, freckles, as well as dryness and spots caused by "photoaging". Don't forget to take daily UV care to prevent A and B waves, the biggest enemies of beautiful skin. It's also important to understand the purpose of STEP 1 to 3, and take good care of your skin from the inside and outside.
