What is the relationship between beauty and skin health?

To put it bluntly, beauty and skin health are essentially symbiotic and mutually reinforcing - scientifically adapted beauty practices are an important support for skin health, while inappropriate beauty treatments that are out of skin tolerance are the primary culprits of destroying skin health.

I have been a skin manager for 7 years, and I have seen too many examples. In the past two years, I met a young girl who had just graduated. She originally had light-sensitive skin that turned a little red during the seasons. I read a blogger who said, "If you want good skin, you need to do deep cleansing twice a week and apply whitening products every day." After more than three months of struggling with the facial mask, my face that was only occasionally reddened turned into severe rosacea. In winter, the cold wind would make it swollen and hot even if I went out for two minutes. I couldn't even apply ordinary moisturizing cream. It took almost a year of treatment before it slowly recovered.

There are also people who handle the relationship between the two very well. There is a 40-year-old old customer who has been with me for almost five years. He never follows the trend of buying Internet celebrity products or doing popular items. His daily routine is gentle cleansing and choosing a moisturizing or repairing cream according to the skin condition of the day. He wears sunscreen all year round even on cloudy days. He only does a basic soothing moisturizer twice every spring and autumn when the seasons change. Now even dry lines on his face are rare, and his skin is more stable than many girls who were in their early twenties.

There are actually two extreme voices in the industry right now. One is that all beauty treatments are a tax on IQ, and the healthiest way is to leave your skin "naked" without applying anything. The other is that beauty treatments require strong drugs, and no matter what your skin type, you should pile on heavy ingredients and high-concentration products. I've seen both of these views fall into disgrace. I once had a male customer who felt that skin care products were all filled with additives, so he only used water to wash his face all year round. In winter, his face became dry and itchy, and he eventually developed seborrheic dermatitis. Instead, he had to use hormonal ointments for intervention. ； There is also a 30-year-old girl who underwent exfoliative therapy 4 times in half a year in order to quickly fight aging. This directly damaged the skin barrier, causing her cheeks to become red and sensitive at every turn, making her look even more tired than before.

In fact, if you think of your skin as a pot of succulents growing on the balcony, you can understand that beauty is equivalent to watering it, fertilizing it, and moving it. If you water it too much, the roots will rot, and if you are exposed to too much sun, you will get sunburned. If you don't care about it at all, it will dry out and become wrinkled. You have to follow it. When it is dry and tight, you add some water, when the barrier is weak, you shield it from the wind, and if you want it to grow strong, occasionally apply some light fertilizer, and never force it to explode or change color in a few days. It will naturally grow healthy, full, and look good. To put it bluntly, beauty is never about "changing" the skin, but about adjusting it according to the health needs of the skin. Only by working together can you get the good condition you want.
