1. The role of “intensive skin care” for general health

The phrase "intensive skin care" often brings to mind three things in each person: skin cancer, dry skin, and a long line of beauty products at the drugstore. However, that's not just a surface-level concern. While an “in-depth skin care” routine may sound like it requires a lot of training, in fact, the steps to healthy skin are not only essential to everyday health, but also easy to follow. presently.
For dermatologists, an early investment in skin health, with regular skin care, will not only better protect skin from the harsh effects of the weather, but will also help improve your appearance. The body looks healthy over time, slowing down the harsh aging process.
To do so, first of all, each person needs to know his or her skin type. The main skin types are dry, oily, or combination, and while everyone's skin can be drier or more oily depending on the time of year, it's more prominent most of the time. From there, each skin type will have a different care regimen.

2. What products are needed for intensive skin care?

After understanding the characteristics of the skin, users should know what products make up a good habit for healthy skin.
Detergents A cleanser or cleanser is a soap made specifically for washing your face, and it's important to use a product made specifically for your face - not just any other cleanser.
When manipulating, users need to wash their face gently and be careful not to rub too hard. Then, rinse with warm water, because water that is too hot will strip away the natural oils and make the skin dehydrated.
Finding the right cleanser can be a process of trial and error. If you have dry skin, you should use a cleanser that is free of alcohol or fragrance. If skin tends to be oily, users should opt for an oil-free one and also consider using a toner.
Toner Toner is applied after cleansing and can help smooth, soften and soothe the skin.
The main ingredients in the toner are micronutrients that replenish or restore nutrients to the skin, thereby reducing skin damage, redness and dryness, cracking, and peeling.
Moisturizer Like cleanser, moisturizer is for everyone and should be used every time you wash your face.
And just like choosing a cleanser, a little trial and error is perfectly normal when users are in the process of finding the right one - for example, oily skin may be better suited for mild products , contains no oils or gels. Moisturizing cream keeps the skin from drying out, keeps the skin hydrated and smooth. Accordingly, they will be most effective when applied while the skin is still slightly damp to retain moisture.

Sunscreen Some moisturizers may already have SPF, but it doesn't hurt to double the amount with sunscreen - especially if the moisturizer has an SPF of less than 30.
For a price For optimal sun protection treatment, users should know the following: Apply sunscreen every day, even when it's gray or cold, and even when covered. When exposed to the sun, reapply every two hours. Make sure the sunscreen protects against both UVA and UVB rays.
If skin cancer and sun damage aren't enough to convince you to use sunscreen, UV exposure is also the number one cause of wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and loss of firmness. sure and the signs of aging are also worrisome.
Exfoliating This is a product that you may not need or want to apply on a daily basis. If you have dry skin, including dry skin caused by winter air, users can exfoliate more than usual but should still maintain once or twice a week at most.
Exfoliation can be done after cleansing but before applying moisturizer, because this phase will help remove flaky skin, renewing the epidermis. The benefits of exfoliation are to remove dead skin for smoother skin and open pores. At the same time, most dermatologists will recommend chemical exfoliation rather than full mechanical exfoliation to prevent damage to the skin barrier.
Serum Another optional addition to each person's intensive skin care routine is a serum.
Serum products containing ingredients such as antioxidants or retinol support skin health in a variety of ways, such as soothing redness and improving skin texture and firmness.

3. When to use which products in intensive skin care

The easiest way to remember when to do what for your skin is to follow this principle: Morning skin care should focus on prevention and protection during the day; Night skin care should focus on skin cleansing and repair.
Most people only remember to wash their face thoroughly once a day. In the morning, rinsing with warm water before applying moisturizer and sunscreen is enough, but at night, after all day exposure and damage, people should still take more specialized care. So, before going to bed, users should wash their face with a cleanser to remove dirt and makeup, then use toners, scrubs and serums if they have the choice. In any case, always end with a moisturizer.
Regardless of the time of day, the skin should be regularly washed, like after exercising or sweating, as sweat can clog pores and facilitate acne formation . Moreover, as a rule, always remember to remove makeup before going to bed so that makeup products harm the skin.

4. Factors affecting intensive skin care

Intensive skin care also depends on many objective factors. In particular, intensive skin care depends quite a lot on the change of season, as this is a factor that can bring about adjustments to skin care as well as to the products to be used. Specifically, intensive skin care in the winter, all with extra moisturizing. Cold weather will contribute to dry skin, and even wind can dry out the skin. Besides, users may also consider switching to a more moisture-rich cleanser to replenish their skin's daily moisturizer.
On the contrary, in the summer, the skin will tend to produce more oil and users can switch to using an oil-free cleanser. At the same time, sunscreen has always held its position as an all-season essential, but users should also adjust the type for daily use during the summer months as opposed to winter.
Furthermore, remember that you don't have to wait until the weather changes to adjust your skin care. Accordingly, whenever the skin changes - due to the environment, hormones or anything else - users can fully proactively adjust their skin care routine that same day. In addition, a dermatologist is always a great support if you encounter difficulties in skin care, in the procedure or even choosing the right product for you. Your doctor can help recommend specific products, prescribe treatments, and even offer lifestyle tips to help address other factors that can also affect your skin.

Finally, it's important to remember that the right intensive skin care is essential at all ages and this healthy habit needs to be built into your 20s and 30s to help strengthen and prepare your skin. against the effects of aging. The skin can have strong collagen and elasticity production in the 20s and 30s and then decline gradually for the rest of life. Cleansers and moisturizers with SPF will be staples of an intensive skin care routine. On the other hand, some dermatologists may recommend over-the-counter retinol products or antioxidant serums as a preventative measure to stimulate collagen production. While it is possible to associate collagen with keeping skin looking plump, these products also give the skin its strength, its structure and play a role in replacing dead skin cells.
In summary, there are many factors that can affect the skin, which is the largest organ and the first line of defense for health, deserving of daily care. When considering intensive skin care, each person needs to be armed with a certain amount of knowledge and understanding of their environment and everyday health, such as diet, stress levels, and exercise. . At the end of the day, however, a minimal skincare routine with cleansers and moisturizers can also provide lasting results.
