What is hydration

Living conditions in today's society are getting better and better. The temperature drops in autumn and winter, and people stay in air-conditioned rooms every day. Although the body is warm, the air-conditioned room is very dry. Over time, it is easy to cause the skin to lack moisture, making the skin look rough, dull and without luster, and even wrinkles on the face, looking lifeless. These are all the consequences of lack of moisture in the skin. Here we will introduce how to better replenish moisture for the skin.

Oily skin does not need to be moisturized. Many people think that oily skin is more moisturized, so it does not need to be moisturized. In fact, this perception is wrong. Oily skin simply means that the skin secretes more oil, which does not mean that the skin has a high moisture content. Oily skin lacks water and often secretes oil continuously to "lock in moisture". If the oil secretion is too strong, the loss of water will be quite serious and more hydration is needed. Therefore, oily skin can choose refreshing lotion or body lotion to replenish moisture and control oil. Only when the skin is sufficiently hydrated can oil secretion be controlled, achieving the optimal water-oil balance and ultimately improving skin problems.

The longer you apply the mask, the better. Many people feel that the mask is still very moist and are reluctant to throw it away, thinking that the longer it is applied, the more nutrients the skin will absorb. In fact, this is not the case. Except for sleeping masks that can be used for a long time, other hydrating and moisturizing masks should also follow the usage time indicated on the product. Generally speaking, 10-15 minutes is appropriate and should not exceed 20 minutes. If you leave the mask on for too long or even wait until it dries before removing it, the moisture will only evaporate. After removing the mask, you should immediately apply lotion to lock in moisture.

To summarize, the above mainly introduces conventional skin hydration methods, which are to replenish water by drinking boiled water, or prohibiting the use of soy products, or making soup to drink. It is important to remember that some people can use toner to replenish skin moisture after washing their face. This is a correct approach. However, the choice of toner for hydration should be reasonable. For example, mature skin should choose toner that promotes metabolism, and sensitive skin should choose toner that regulates endocrine.
