The skin is short of water, so drinking water is useless
Moisturizing, as the name implies, is to leave water in the skin, skin long-term moist state, will naturally feel water tender. In fact, the skin's moisture will continue to drain and evaporate, so as to achieve the function of heat dissipation and constant body temperature. In summer, because of the rising temperature, the body's excess heat needs to be discharged from the skin through sweating and water evaporation, so the skin naturally often feels tender and tender (Note: sweat contains urea, also has the effect of keeping the skin delicate and moist). In addition, the humidity of the outside world in summer is relatively high, so the water is easy to stay on the surface of the skin; However, in autumn, due to the decrease of temperature and humidity, the supply of skin moisture is reduced in order to maintain body temperature. On the other hand, due to the decrease of humidity in the external environment, the remaining moisture in the epidermis is is easy to drain, resulting in dry, tight and peeling skin. It's useless to drink more water in this way, because the water can't reach the skin and is usually excreted as urine.
Right wrong
Everyone has the concept of moisturizing, but if the method is not appropriate, it can only further aggravate the 'drought'.
Wrong：
1. Control water only by oil. Grease can form a protective film on the skin surface to prevent evaporation. Therefore, many people love to apply oil cream or vaseline in autumn (Note: Vaseline Veseline, a mineral grease, which has a high degree of moisture and solidified paste at room temperature), but skin has no moisture. Like, the pastry falls off even more.
2. moisturizing spray does not leave hands. To achieve a good moisturizing effect, light supplement oil is not good, but also not in the face of water spray can, because direct water spray on the face will make the water evaporation more severe, but will make the skin appear more dry.
Right：
1. Replenish water regularly: the body needs to replenish water regularly. It is not only to drink water once a day, but also to drink up all the water. In the same way, do not expect a bottle of paint to moisturize the skin for 24 hours. Moisturizing work should be done. Besides moisturizing products in the morning and evening, moisturizing facial mask is best used. When skin is dry, replenish the skin's water and grease.
2. first replenishment, then water lock: After cleansing the skin in the morning and evening, moisturizing lotion and moisturizing essence should be used first. These products are mainly water-soluble and water-soluble moisturizing ingredients, which can help skin 'suck' moisture, such as glycerol (Glycerin), Butylene Glycol and Propylene Glycol, while the higher Moisturizing ingredients are hyaluronic acid (Hyaluronic). Acid, collagen and so on, the water absorption is stronger. Then use moisturizing lotion or cream that is suitable for your skin. As the grease in the cream and the cream can build a lock wall for the skin, it can prevent excessive evaporation of water.

Experience of Niu Er DIY
--Avoid hearsay and stick to it
When selecting brand products, the first step is to check all the ingredients in the maintenance products to check whether there are acne causing and stimulating ingredients in the maintenance products, such as some synthetic esters, higher fatty alcohol or alcohol, fragrance, and surfactant; Then check whether the effective ingredients meet the maintenance requirements of the product. After confirming that the ingredients are OK, try to see if the texture of the product meets the needs of your skin. But at present, most of the saleswomen are mainly selling products, and there is no way to help you do the work of checking, so you must learn and understand by yourself.
DIY is also the same, we must understand the skin type suitable for various ingredients and the main efficacy of ingredients, the most taboo is hearsay. So, DIY is for everyone, but it doesn't mean that every product is suitable for everyone. The other is to have enough time, if only occasionally, the effect is certainly very limited.
