When is the best time to use skin care products? Can the effects of skin care products be seen immediately?

As we age, the condition of our skin will become worse and worse, so many girls will use skin care products to maintain the condition of their skin. However, there is a time limit for using skin care products. So when is the best time to use skin care products? Can the effect of skin care products be seen immediately?

The first step of skin care is to wash your face. Use it in the morning when you get up and before going to bed at night. It is best to use facial cleanser at night. When you stay outside for a long time, your skin will be stained with a lot of dust or dirt from the outside world, and it will also secrete a lot of oil due to various external environmental stimuli. Therefore, you should use facial cleanser at night to thoroughly wash away the dust and oil on your skin before going to bed.

The second step of skin care: toner (you can also use toner, softener), use time: after cleansing the face. After cleansing the face, it is best to use it before the face is dry. Soak the cotton pad with toner and gently pat on the face to promote absorption. Pay special attention to the areas around the eyes and the corners of the mouth that are prone to dryness. Using toner can not only replenish water but also have the effect of secondary cleansing. For those who are in a hurry to go to work in the morning or like to stay in bed, you can skip the spa and soak the cotton pad and gently pat it.

The third step of skin care: (essence), use time: use hydrating essence when you wake up during the day, and use whitening essence before going to bed at night. Generally, skin care products follow the principle of light first, and the lighter ones should be applied first.

Step 4 of skin care: eye cream, use time: in the morning when you get up and before going to bed at night. Use eye cream after washing your face in the morning to relieve tired eyes after getting up early. Rejuvenate and relieve blood circulation in the eyes. Avoid blood vessels from accelerating and clogging, which causes blood to concentrate under the eyes and form dark circles and eye bags. Use eye cream before going to bed at night to reduce dark circles. Before going to bed at night, use eye cream to massage for 5 minutes until the skin warms up and the blood under the eyes flows away without accumulating in the eyes. It can reduce or even eliminate dark circles.

Step 5 of skin care: Mask. Use time: The best time to apply a mask at night is from 10:00 to 2:00 in the morning. Because this time period is the best time for skin metabolism and the skin's repair ability is at its strongest, it is recommended to apply a mask during this time period. The skin can not only absorb more essence, but also its self-repair ability can help the skin recover faster. When the skin becomes better, the whole person will be more confident and charming.

Products that can see immediate effects: cleansing, hydration, moisturizing, exfoliation, moisturizing and sunscreen. Products that cannot see immediate effects: freckle removal, whitening, acne removal, anti-wrinkle, etc. We all want our skin to get better immediately after using skin care products, so some unscrupulous merchants have developed many unsafe skin care products to cater to this mentality, such as acne removal products containing antibiotics, steroids or hormones, and freckle removal products containing lead, mercury or hormones. These products seem to improve the skin immediately after use, and the spots are lightened and acne is removed. However, it is strongly recommended that you do not blindly pursue quick results, but should respect the natural metabolism of the skin to avoid harming our skin.

Chromium and neodymium: Chromium can cause allergic dermatitis or eczema, which has a long course and does not heal for a long time.
