What special care methods can be used at home to remedy dry face?

1) Hydration and moisturizing: We know that the main symptom of dry face is tight skin. Since the skin is tight, it must be remedied with water. First of all, you need to choose a moisturizing product with high water content. If it contains ceramides, then this moisturizing product is qualified. If you need better results, you should use a cream or paste moisturizing product with a high oil content. Also, for body moisturizing, you should apply moisturizing products after taking a shower before the water is completely dry. This is to ensure that it can fully lock the moisture on the surface of the skin, thereby achieving the best hydrating effect.

2) Clean your skin properly: When cleaning your skin every day, including the face, hands, feet and body, try to wash it once a day. If you over-cleans your skin you will strip away the natural moisturizers on the surface of your skin and all your efforts will be wasted. It is worth noting that you don’t need to use soap or shower gel every day during cleaning, as this will greatly reduce the removal of moisturizer and improve moisturizing effect.

3) Use hot water moderately: Use hot water once a day and try not to use hot water to clean your skin unless necessary. Because under high temperature conditions, the moisturizer will be quickly dissolved, and washing the skin under high temperature conditions can easily damage the skin, so using hot water when taking a bath is enough.

4) Humidification: In the dry weather in winter, the human body cannot get the necessary water needs, so it steals water from the body. Indoor humidification can allow the skin to get more moisture and will not dry out. However, when using the humidifier, you must clean it and change the water regularly according to the installation instructions to avoid unnecessary mold and fungus.

5) Protect from wind and rain: Why do we need to protect from wind? Many people may not understand. In fact, it is because the rate of moisture loss from the skin is positively correlated with the wind speed, so it is necessary to prevent the skin from being blown directly by the wind. Avoid rain. Of course, you will understand this without any analysis. Contact with water will wash away the moisturizer.

3. What should I do if my skin feels tight after putting on makeup in the office?

The symptom of dry skin that we know before is that the skin will feel tight. If you suddenly feel your skin getting tight while sitting in the office, it is very likely that you have not done enough moisturizing before applying makeup. At this time, you can use a humidifier to humidify and hydrate the surrounding environment. Alternatively, you can use a spray and spray it on your skin without having to wipe it off with a tissue. Note: Generally, you should spray once every two hours to replenish water. The amount of spray should not be too much, just enough to feel hydrated. Too much will make people feel uncomfortable.

4. How to care for eyes, lips and hands?

1. Eyes and lips require extra care during the entire care process because the skin on these two parts is very delicate. Moreover, these two parts are the most important parts to show the beauty of the face, so they must be done well. Hands are a woman's second face. In autumn and winter, hands will feel more and more dry. This is because in the cold winter season, the skin's flexibility and mobility decrease, and secretion decreases, which will cause the hands to become drier.

2. Eyes: Because the skin around the eyes is very delicate, once it becomes dry, it will be out of control. Therefore, we should choose a product with strong moisturizing ability and high oil content, such as avocado. However, it should be noted that before using moisturizer, you should use products containing active ingredients, such as VC, VE, EGF, FGF, peptides, etc. to promote protein synthesis, or epidermal regeneration, etc., to increase the thickness of the epidermis and dermis. When applying the product, you can use a light massage technique to increase blood circulation around the eyes and make the skin around the eyes more vibrant. When applying eye cream, you also need to use a gentle technique. The general steps are to gently massage with a little bounce or circular motions. This is just to avoid pulling the skin. Start from the upper eyelid towards the inner corner of the eye to the Dayang point, and then from the Dayang point to the inner corner of the eye. Repeat this three times in moderation. In addition, you must pay attention to sun protection. In winter, you will inevitably be exposed to the sun, so you should wear sunglasses when going out.

3. Lips: Lips are the part that is most prone to dryness in winter. We must remember to drink more water, do not tear or lick them, and eat more fruits or vegetables containing vitamins A, B, and C. Go to bed early and don't stay up late. If possible, it would be best to drink Tremella soup every few days. Finally, the most important thing is to have a lip balm that is moisturizing enough.

4. Hands: As the name suggests, the water in winter is cold. Whether you are afraid of cold or not, try to wear latex gloves when washing clothes or dishes. Once you apply hand cream, it will be washed away quickly by water together with detergent, and its effect will be gone. At the same time, try to reduce unnecessary hand washing as much as possible, regardless of whether or not cleaning items are used.

5. Key points for using hand cream: When applying hand cream, try not to let your palms touch the hand cream to avoid wasting it on your palm lines. Apply it evenly using the back of your hand to the back of your hand. During the whole process, each finger needs to be rubbed separately, which can produce the effect of massaging the palm. Also apply it to the nail edge, because this area is most likely to peel when lacking water.

Today, let me teach you five tips for quickly hydrating your face.
