Is it because I have used too much skin care products when I rub mud on my face? What should I do if I rub mud on my face after using skin care products?

It is a very common phenomenon that skin care products cause mud on the face. Many people have experienced this. There are many reasons why the face causes mud. It may be caused by the texture of the skin care products, it may be caused by incorrect usage methods, or it may be caused by too thick skin cuticles.

The mud on the face may be caused by using too many skin care products, but using too many skin care products does not necessarily cause mud on the face. There is no necessary connection between the two. The concept of mud on the face may not be understood by people who do not wear makeup, because many skin care products and cosmetics will form white or gray substances when they are stacked together. Such substances are very similar to the waste keratin of the skin, so it is also called mud phenomenon. But in fact, whether the skin care products are used too much has no necessary connection with whether the face is muddy or not. If you find that your skin is muddy, it may be because the skin is too dry and the skin care products used are too oily. The skin cannot absorb so many nutrients at once, so some ingredients that cannot be absorbed will remain on the surface of the skin, and the skin will feel sticky while rubbing the mud. Some reasons may also be that some skin care products are not suitable for the current skin condition. For example, if dry skin uses too oily skin care products, it may be intolerant or unable to absorb. In addition, the order of using some skin care products must be paid attention to, especially skin care products will only work better after being stacked. If large-molecule skin care products are placed in front and small-molecule skin care products are placed in the back, it will be difficult for small-molecule skin care products to penetrate the protective film and enter the skin. For example, if you use cream first and then essence, it will be difficult for the essence to work on the skin. Another reason may be that the nutrients in the skin care products react chemically with each other, which can also cause the skin care products to rub mud after being applied to the face.

1. First of all, you need to moisturize your skin and don't always let your skin be dehydrated. In addition, you need to protect the stratum corneum. Because of the damage to the stratum corneum, sensitive skin is more likely to have mud rubbing problems than healthy skin. It is very important to properly condition the stratum corneum. Regular use of cleansing masks and zoning care can reduce the phenomenon of mud rubbing.

2. Pay attention to massage while applying to help absorption. Skin care products cannot be applied casually on the face. We need to be more patient and massage evenly to help the skin "eat" these ingredients.

3. If only some products are prone to rubbing, you can try to extend the time between the two products, wait for the previous product to evaporate for a while before adding the next product. At the same time, only add what is necessary. The more products you add, the greater the risk of rubbing, and the greater the burden on the skin.

1. Thick texture does not mean strong efficacy

Many people like to buy thick and sticky skin care products, as if they think such skin care products are "substantial". In fact, overly thick textures are more likely to cause mud. In particular, some skin care products add a lot of thickening ingredients to make them look more textured and substantial. Gel-like things are also particularly prone to mud, such as thick toners, hyaluronic acid stock solutions, gel-like essences/creams, etc.

2. Not easy to absorb

In addition to the thick texture mentioned above, some skin care products like to add large amounts of silicone and silicone oil. These are often seen in high-end brands because these ingredients can bring a high-end sense of use, such as making the skin feel smoother. However, these ingredients are not easily absorbed by the skin, so they may also cause mud rubbing.

1. Caused by dry skin

In fact, it is not difficult to find that many mud-rubbing phenomena often occur in autumn and winter. One reason is that the weather is dry in autumn and winter, and the air humidity is low. Our skin itself is prone to dehydration, so dandruff is also particularly easy to produce, which is the legendary "dry to peeling". At this time, when we apply skin care products, dandruff is likely to be rubbed out along with the lotion. Another reason is that we use more products in autumn and winter, and sometimes even use several skin care products together, so these substances gather together and are more likely to produce mud-rubbing phenomena.

2. Too much old cuticle

Generally speaking, rough and dehydrated skin is more likely to rub off than smooth skin. This is because the skin has accumulated old cuticles, which makes it more likely to rub off.
