The hot summer sun is like fire. Under the double test of air-conditioned rooms and scorching sun, the skin is experiencing a silent "survival challenge" - ultraviolet rays accelerate photoaging, high temperature causes imbalance in oil secretion, and air-conditioned rooms aggravate water loss... How to seize the initiative in this "skin care defense war"?

Four necessities of applying masks in summer

As a weapon for efficient and intensive care, masks are becoming a "must-have item" for summer skin care. Why do you need to apply masks in summer? Next, the editor will reveal the golden rules of applying masks in summer from the perspective of scientific principles!

01 Fight against ultraviolet damage

The intensity of ultraviolet rays in summer is more than 3 times that of winter. UVA penetrates the dermis to destroy collagen, and UVB causes sunburn in the epidermis. Hyaluronic acid, ceramide and other ingredients in the mask can quickly penetrate the bottom of the skin to form a "hydration protective film" to promote the regeneration of damaged cells.

02 Rebuilding water-oil balance

Under high temperature environment, sebaceous gland activity increases by 30%, but excessive cleaning will damage the barrier function. The mask uses the principle of "closed penetration" to deliver small molecule moisturizers to the stratum corneum in a targeted manner, and cooperates with the subsequent cream to lock in moisture, which can achieve a balanced state of "controlling oil without pulling dryness". A certain brand laboratory found that after using a mask on oily skin, the oil production in the T zone decreased by 27%, and the water content of the stratum corneum increased to a healthy level.

03 Preventing dryness and sensitivity

When the humidity in the air-conditioned room is lower than 40%, the evaporation rate of skin moisture is accelerated. The natural moisturizing factor in the mask can simulate the structure of the sebum membrane and form a breathable water film on the skin surface. It is recommended that dry skin use moisturizing lotion to soften the cuticle before applying the mask, and use a cream containing squalane to improve the water locking efficiency.

04 Improve the absorption rate of subsequent skin care

The "hydration" of the mask can expand the intercellular space of the stratum corneum and promote the penetration of active ingredients. Studies have shown that the absorption rate of essence can be increased by more than 3 times if it is used immediately after applying the mask. Nighttime is the golden period for skin repair. With a mask containing niacinamide and vitamin C, the superposition effect of whitening and lightening can be achieved.

Don't let "skin care" turn into "skin damage"

Facial masks have become a must-have item for many people's daily skin care. However, applying a mask is not simply applying the mask on the face and everything will be fine. There are many misunderstandings that are easily overlooked. From storage methods, usage environment, to mask frequency, subsequent cleaning, to ingredient selection, etc., every link is related to skin care effects and skin health. The following is a detailed analysis of these common mask misunderstandings.

Refrigerator refrigeration ≠ all-purpose preservation

After the mask is cooled, high molecular polymers (such as carbomer) will form a gel structure, resulting in a decrease in the release rate of active ingredients. If you need to calm the skin after sun exposure, you can refrigerate the mask for 10 minutes before use, but avoid direct contact with ice cubes to prevent frostbite.

Applying a mask in an air-conditioned room = "reverse water absorption" The cold wind will shrink the pores, hinder the absorption of the essence, and accelerate the evaporation of the mask's moisture, but take away the original moisture of the skin. It is recommended to choose a windless environment, or use a humidifier to maintain humidity.

Excessive masking causes "hydration dermatitis" Long-term overhydration of the stratum corneum will lead to loose structure and decreased barrier function. Healthy skin should apply mask 2-3 times a week, and sensitive skin is recommended to choose medical-grade dressings, no more than 15 minutes each time.

Ignoring cleaning leads to "overnutrition"

The thickeners (such as xanthan gum) remaining after the mask will absorb dust and cause closed comedones. Be sure to wash off the excess essence with clean water, and then apply cream to lock in moisture.

Blind pursuit of "instant whitening" Some masks add excessive physical masking agents such as titanium dioxide, resulting in the illusion of "fake white". Choose products with a simple ingredient list to avoid risky ingredients such as hormones and fluorescent agents.

Advanced masking skills

Summer skin care Skin care is a delicate subject, and skin at different times and under different conditions has different needs. If you want to achieve efficient skin care and accurately solve various skin problems, time-sharing care and targeted skin care methods are essential.

1. Time-sharing care, precise treatment of skin problems Morning emergency: Choose a mask containing caffeine and green tea extract to eliminate facial puffiness and brighten skin tone. Night repair: Use a mask containing melatonin and blue copper peptide to promote cell regeneration in conjunction with the sleep cycle. Golden 72 hours after sun exposure: Use a calming mask containing aloe vera and dipotassium glycyrrhizinate for 3 consecutive days to relieve redness, swelling and stinging.

2. Sandwich method to create "watery skin" After cleansing, apply 5 drops of essence oil, then apply a washable mask for 15 minutes, and finally wipe the entire face with a cotton pad soaked in lotion. This method can increase the skin's water content by 2 times and is suitable for dry and dehydrated skin.

3. Local reinforcement to solve "regional troubles" Oily skin in the area can use a mud mask to absorb excess oil, and dry skin in the U area can be superimposed with a paper mask to replenish water.
