What to do if your face doesn't absorb skincare products

Every morning and before going to bed at night are good times for skin care. Many beauty-loving women always have many bottles and jars of different sizes on their dressing tables. In addition to basic skin care creams, there are also various eye creams, lip creams, etc. It can be seen that women's skin care "project" is so huge, but we don't know whether these skin care essences can play the expected role. So, why doesn’t the face absorb skin care products? What should we do?

1. There may be several reasons why your face does not absorb skin care products:

1. The stratum corneum is too thick:

If dead skin cells accumulate on the surface of the skin, it is like covering your face with a layer of dirty plastic cloth, which will naturally make it difficult for the ingredients of skin care products to penetrate.

2. The molecules of skin care products are relatively large:

The formulas of some skin care products are not technologically advanced, and the molecules of the ingredients are too large. No matter how hard you massage them, the skin cells cannot absorb them and naturally they can only stay on the surface.

3. The ingredients of skin care products are easy to rub mud:

Some ingredients in skin care products, such as polymer glue, are not intended to be absorbed by the skin. Polymer glue is a colloid matrix that is non-irritating and harmless to the skin. It is usually added to products with a gel texture (many skin care products used by men are of gel texture). It's fine when used alone, but if you layer it with other products containing polymer glue, it will be strange if it doesn't become muddy.

2. Solution:

1. Exfoliate in the right way:

Since the dead skin cells accumulated on the surface of the skin are obstacles to the absorption of skin care products, all you need to do is remove them in the right way. The "appropriate method" includes physical friction (using a scrub with particles) and chemical dissolution (exfoliating creams containing ingredients such as proteases and fruit acids). No matter which one you use, you must ensure that it is not excessive or excessive. Otherwise, pursuing temporary smoothness and good absorption will bring more skin problems.

2. Choose skin care products with small molecule ingredients and use tools to accelerate absorption.

3. Avoid using products that easily cause mud

If a gel or jelly-based skincare product is a must on your skincare list, try using them separately. When you have to apply additional layers of product, try patting or pressing instead of circular massage. In fact, the refreshing feeling brought by gel-textured skin care products after applying is in many cases a psychological effect. Try a lotion instead, which will be equally comfortable without worrying about rubbing against mud.

3. How to calculate the absorption of skin care products

1. After applying skin care products to your face, gently pat until your hands feel that the skin care products on your facial skin are gone. If the facial skin is smoother and more tender than at the beginning, it means that the skin care products have been absorbed. The general time is about five minutes.

2. Cleaning your face properly is beneficial to the absorption of cosmetics. After the pores are clean, it can promote the penetration of cosmetics, shorten the absorption time, and make the cosmetics better moisturize the skin.
