Tips for choosing skin care

Points to check

Are you satisfied with the skin care you're currently using?
Do you have nothing in particular in mind and are trying out cosmetics from various manufacturers over a short period of time to find the one that suits you?
Do you have limited money to spend on beauty products, so are you content with what's readily available?
Have you been using the same line of cosmetics from the same manufacturer for many years?

Values ​​regarding beauty vary from person to person.
Everyone has their own standard for what they consider to be acceptable beauty results.
However, no matter how much you use it, there are no changes as advertised on the skin care product packaging. In fact, there are many people who say that their skin condition has worsened. They also start to have skin problems.
There are also cases where a product is recommended to you by someone else, but it doesn't suit your skin.
There is so much beauty information out there that it can be hard to know what's right.

Let's take a look at the basics of choosing skin care cosmetics. Even if you already have knowledge, let's review it again.

[Check the ingredients]

Skin care products are divided into four main categories:

Basic components (base parts)
〇 Active ingredients (the part that works on skin problems such as blemishes and clogged pores)
Fragrances, colorants, and other ingredients (fragrance, texture, etc.)
Ingredients to maintain quality

With this basic understanding in mind, check the following three points before purchasing:

①Does it contain any ingredients that may irritate the skin?

×Synthetic surfactants, synthetic polymers, mineral oils, synthetic fragrances, etc.

②Does it contain effective ingredients to improve skin problems?

★Ingredients that are effective against blemishes: Vitamin C derivatives, arbutin, tranexamic acid, etc. ★Ingredients that are effective against wrinkles: Pure retinol, NeilOne, niacinamide, etc. ★Ingredients that are effective against dark pores: Salicylic acid, amino acids, fruit acids, etc.

3. Does it contain enough moisturizing ingredients ? Ceramides, hyaluronic acid, collagen, amino acids, squalane, etc.

It has become a rule that all ingredients in cosmetics must be displayed, so the ingredients are written on the outer box and container, and you can check them before purchasing. It is something that you put directly on your skin. Don't be fooled by attractive advertisements, but make sure to check the ingredients carefully.

Skin care is a daily accumulation. Just because it doesn't have an immediate effect doesn't mean it's effective. It's best to think, "Okay, next!". You can think of instantaneous effects as putting a strain on your body. Good ingredients will keep your skin turning over, so don't rush and stick with them for the long term.

Of course, deciding whether or not a product will last a long time depends on factors such as cost-effectiveness, usability, and personal preference for the scent.
Skin care cosmetics are something you will be using for a long time, so take the time to look after your skin and enjoy the changes.

Just to be on the safe side, be sure to do a patch test before using it on your face to make sure it suits your body.
