What does anti-aging skin care include?

The essence of anti-aging skin care is a full-link care logic that covers daily protection, damage repair, and targeted improvement. It is not something that everyone thinks can be done by just applying one or two bottles of expensive anti-aging essence.

A while ago, when I was helping my 32-year-old best friend with dry skin to figure out her skin care plan, she said with a puzzled look on her face that she had been applying A-alcohol essence for half a year, but the dry lines on her cheeks had not gone away, and the apples of her cheeks had become more obvious. When I asked her, I found out that she never wears sunscreen when commuting in the summer.

In fact, there is a consensus in the dermatology circle that photoaging accounts for nearly 80% of exogenous aging, so the most basic and core first step in anti-aging is to protect yourself from light. Of course, everyone is quarreling about this now. Some people say that wearing sunscreen is yyds, and applying sunscreen is completely redundant. Others say that applying sunscreen for daily commuting is enough, and it is not necessary to cover it up tightly. When I tried it myself, it really depends on the scene. I went to the beach for two days last week. I wore sun protection clothing and a mask and hat, and applied high-power sunscreen on my exposed hands. When I came back, my face was not dark at all, but my hands were one degree darker. If I had only applied sunscreen to my face during those two days, I would have probably been darkened for half a month. ； But in winter, when I sit in the office and barely get any sun, I just wear an SPF30 commuter sunscreen. The chance of getting pimples is much lower than wearing two layers of hard sunscreen.

Doing a good job of protection is equivalent to stopping 80% of aging damage, and the rest is to "fix the holes" for minor problems that have already occurred. For example, after staying up late at night, your face turns yellow like pickled orange peel, or after drying in the season, several dry lines pop up under your eyes. These are signs of pseudo-aging that have not yet taken shape, and can be brought back by using some repair products with corresponding effects. As for the ingredients to choose, there is no standard answer. Some people say that Bose is an IQ tax. I use a 30% concentration of Bose cream in winter with dry skin, and the dry lines on my cheekbones became almost invisible after half a month. However, my colleague with oily skin used the same product and got acne on his chin. Instead, he found the low-concentration peptide essence to be more comfortable to use, and the anti-aging effect is not bad. Essentially, it depends on the skin type and tolerance. There is no magic product that is suitable for everyone.

If you wait until the dynamic lines on your face turn into static lines - such as crow's feet that only appear when you smile, but hang in the corners of your eyes when you are not smiling, or your jawline has become so blurred that it is connected to your neck, don't rely on skin care products. Anti-aging at this time must be combined with precise hospital intervention. Of course, this area is even more controversial. Some people think that medical beauty is a scam, and their faces will become stiff and become Internet celebrities after doing it. There are also people who do regular projects every year, and their condition is much better than that of their peers. The 40-year-old sister next to me goes to a regular tertiary hospital for an ultrasound every year. She usually uses sunscreen and basic moisturizing for skin care. Now she looks more energetic than a 35-year-old person. ； However, some friends went to a small studio to get anti-wrinkle injections for cheap, but the dosage was not well controlled, and the eyebrows were crooked for half a month before they recovered. To put it bluntly, as long as you find a reliable doctor from a regular institution, the chance of being deceived is actually very low.

Harmful, to be honest, I have been doing skin care related things for so many years, and the most common thing I see is people who follow the trend of anti-aging and cheat on them. One day they buy tens of thousands of high-priced essences, and the other time they follow the trend and do uncertified projects. On the contrary, they fail to do the most basic sun protection and moisturizing. It is really unnecessary. Take your time with anti-aging, and what is best for you is the best.
