What is the relationship between beauty and skin health

We have been doing offline skin management for 11 years. The most common thing we tell our customers in the store is that beauty is never a "beauty method" that exists independently of skin health. The two are essentially symbiotically bound - scientific and compliant beauty practices are to support skin health. Wrong beauty practices will directly penetrate the health defense line, and in the end even the foundation of "beauty" will be lost.

I just received a 22-year-old girl a while ago. She was born with oily and healthy skin, but she had two acne marks on her forehead. So she followed the trend and went to an unqualified beauty salon in the community to do a "dermabrasion peel". It was said that she would be glowing white after three treatments. However, after the second treatment, her whole face started to turn red. It was itchy and stung with the slightest breeze. I went to the hospital to find out that the barrier was damaged due to excessive exfoliation of the cuticle. It took me half a year to recover. Even the sensitivity to seasonal changes, which had never been long before, came to the door. This is a typical pitfall of separating beauty and health, always thinking about skipping health and seeking "quick beauty".

Speaking of this, some people will definitely mention the "zero skin care and skin care" theory that has been discussed on the Internet for a long time. Indeed, some customers who are in the acute sensitive period stopped all functional products and only used gentle cleansers and moisturizers for two weeks. The redness and stinging disappeared. Some people advocate that all skin care products are IQ tax, and applying nothing is the best way to nourish the skin. But try it with someone with oily skin who runs outdoors every day in the summer? After a day, oil mixed with dust will clog the pores, and in three days, inflammatory clefts will appear on the forehead. If you don't cleanse and control oil, it may develop into cystic acne, which will damage the good skin. To put it bluntly, the scale of beauty is adjusted according to the health status of the individual's skin. There is never a standard answer that is universally applicable.

Don’t think that only applying expensive skin care products and undergoing medical beauty treatments counts as beauty. Apply sunscreen when you go out, apply a moisturizing mask in time after staying up late, and drink less sugary milk tea after eating hot pot. These seemingly inconspicuous little habits are actually the lowest-cost beauty actions. Let’s talk about sunscreen. Many people think that they only apply it if they are afraid of getting tanned. In fact, it is the most basic skin health protection. Ultraviolet rays will not only cause stains, but also damage the elastic fibers of the dermis, causing photoaging. In severe cases, it can even induce skin cancer. I have a 47-year-old She has been applying sunscreen every day since she was in her twenties and always wears a wide-brimmed hat when going out. Now she has gone for a skin test and found that she has fewer photoaging spots in her dermis than many 30-year-olds. Even dermatologists praise her as having a healthy skin base, with few problems such as redness and fine lines.

It does not mean that all functional beauty programs are harmful to the skin. For example, compliant photorejuvenation and basic water-light injections, as long as the operating physician is qualified and the parameters are customized according to your skin condition, they can help strengthen the skin barrier. I myself undergo low-energy photorejuvenation every quarter. In the past, I was prone to dryness and itchiness when spring and autumn changed. In the past two years, I have never had this problem again. Even the congenital redness on my cheeks has faded a lot. This is a typical example of reasonable beauty methods that can nourish skin health.

To put it bluntly, treat your skin as a normal organ like the heart and liver. Don’t always think about “decorating” it. Before doing any beauty treatment, ask whether it will damage its normal function. Basically, you will not step into any big pitfalls.
