Regarding the scams about skin care
Regarding the scams about skin care, various little secrets about skin care have been circulating in the market, which also convinced many beauties. The result is that after following these so-called secrets, instead of getting better, my skin developed many problems. Below I will tell you about the scams about skin care, come and take a look. Skin care scams 1
1. Oily skin is due to lack of water
I have said this probably more than ten years ago, but the truth is that the reason why skin is oily There are tens of millions of factors. Lack of water is only one of the factors. For example, it is affected by temperature and environment. The most common one is less oil production in winter and more oil production in summer. Because every degree the temperature rises, the amount of oil produced by the skin will increase by 10%. On the contrary, when the weather gets colder, the activity of sebaceous glands will also decrease.
People who are born with developed sebaceous glands and damaged skin barriers will cause the skin to become oily, resulting in a feeling of oiliness and dryness. Therefore, in addition to hydration, what you need most is repair. Barrier, otherwise no matter how much water you add, it will be in vain.
2. Mixing pearl powder with milk and honey and applying a facial mask can whiten the skin
The main ingredients in the pearls are calcium carbonate and hard keratin, which does not whiten at all. Is it effective?
If you want to whiten your skin, you might as well use whitening essence. Furthermore, the harm done to the skin by various ingredients in homemade facial masks cannot be explained in a few sentences. It is better to spend some money to buy two boxes of facial masks. Use it with peace of mind.
3. No makeup remover is required for skin care with plain cream.
The English product name of plain cream is toning cream, or tone-up cream, which means toning cream or brightening cream.
In essence, it is no different from the moisturizer and CC cream we usually use! Every makeup cream on the market contains an ingredient called titanium dioxide. Titanium dioxide is a good "whitening covering ingredient" and can also be called a "physical whitening ingredient", which can instantly brighten and whiten the skin visually. At the same time, it can also be used as a "physical sunscreen", which can not only absorb ultraviolet rays, but also emit and scatter ultraviolet rays, so it has strong ultraviolet resistance.
So the so-called skin care and makeup-in-one makeup cream is actually just a moisturizing cream with a little titanium dioxide added, which will not have any skin care effect, and it also has white added in it. Powder must be used to remove makeup, otherwise it will ruin your face if it stays clogged in your pores for a long time!
4. Vitamin B6 plus aloe vera gel to close the mouth
It is said that crushing vitamin B6 tablets into powder and mixing with aloe vera gel can close the mouth? As a kind of vitamin, b6 is indeed necessary for our body. If it is severely lacking, it will cause closed acne. But serious deficiency basically does not exist. The vegetables, fruits and fish we usually eat are rich in vitamin B6 in the liver.
Moreover, b6 is only effective if you eat it. Simply applying it on the face cannot be absorbed. It will only absorb the oil on the skin surface, causing a "matte" illusion. It may also aggravate closed mouth or cause allergies. There is also a bottle of aloe vera gel from Nature Paradise. It contains very little aloe vera and is heavy in fragrance and alcohol. Some people can get rid of acne after using it, while others are allergic to it after just one use. The effect may vary from person to person, but it is really not suitable for use. Come and apply it on your face for a long time!
5. Baby skin care products are better than adult products
Baby products may not be suitable for adults. Because most children's skin is neutral, most of their skin care textures are thicker, while adults have very few neutral skin. If you use a very thick baby mask, it will easily block the pores and cause closed mouth acne. Acne, etc., so what is suitable for children may not be suitable for you.
Adults choose the adult’s and leave the baby’s to the baby.

Scam 1: Apply facial mask before makeup
Not only the little fairy above, I believe there are many fairies who like to apply facial masks before makeup, and want to make their makeup more beautiful. It is undeniable that it is compliant, but it is very unfriendly to the skin.

Scam 2: Preservative-free products are the safest.
There was a time when everyone was obsessed with preservative-free skin care products, thinking they were gentle and safe.

Therefore, adding preservatives is not terrible. The laws and regulations of various countries clearly stipulate the use of cosmetic preservatives.

I found that many people are keen on DIY skin care products and feel that the products they make are natural, reliable and safe, but the formulas of DIY skin care products are mostly From the Internet, then the effectiveness of these recipe compositions is worth considering! Also, it is recommended to avoid buying DIY skin care products online that are completely unsafe in terms of safety, because selling DIY skin care products itself is illegal.
Scam 4: Spray sunscreen spray directly on your face
Although sunscreen spray can be sprayed directly on your face, it is not recommended because sunscreen spray contains a lot of Due to its chemical composition, during the spraying process, the aerosol can easily be inhaled into the body even if the mouth and nose are covered.

We often hear in life that after using a certain product, the face suddenly starts to become red and acne breaks out. Concluding that the product is bad or fake, everyone has ingredients they may be intolerant to. For example, niacinamide, vitamin A or phenoxyethanol, etc.

Scam 10: Lemon water can whiten your skin
Regarding lemon water, there are many effects circulated on the Internet, such as whitening, because it is rich in vitamin C. In fact, lemons contain vitamin C. The content is not high in fruits, only about 1/2 of strawberry and 1/3 of kiwi fruit.
Moreover, generally not many lemons are used when soaking in water. Coupled with the destructive effect of various factors on vitamin C, the amount of vitamin C that can be dissolved in a cup of lemon water is very limited.
Therefore, it is a rumor that drinking lemon water can whiten your skin! Not reliable!
Scam 11: Washing your face with hot and cold water can shrink pores
Regarding this one, I can only tell you the truth very cruelly: washing your face with cold water can’t To shrink pores, washing your face with hot water still doesn’t work. Washing your face with cold and hot water alternately still doesn’t work! able! Shrink! hair ! hole!
If you have tried this method and feel that your face does feel tight after washing, it is because the cold water stimulates the skin and can easily cause the capillaries on the face to expand and deform, especially Ideal for fairies with sensitive skin and faces prone to redness.
