Winter Skincare Essentials: Navigating the Changing Seasons

As we gear up for the upcoming fall and winter seasons, it's crucial to adapt our skincare routines to combat the challenges that come with the changing weather. I wanted to share some insights based on personal experiences and the wisdom of our wonderful skincare community. **Why does our skin become more vulnerable during autumn and winter?** 1. Dehydrated Stratum Corneum: With the drop in humidity, the air becomes drier, leading to rapid evaporation of moisture from our stratum corneum. The lack of humidity coupled with brisk winds can strip away significant moisture, leaving our skin parched. 2. Slower Metabolism: As the temperatures cool down, our metabolic rate naturally slows. This reduced metabolic activity results in slower blood circulation, diminishing the flow of moisture to the outer layers of our skin. 3. Reduced Sebum Production: The infamous natural protective layer, our sebum film, takes a hit during colder months. As temperatures plummet, our sebaceous glands produce less oil, leaving our skin without an adequate sebum film to retain moisture. Now, how do we combat these challenges and keep our skin glowing throughout the colder seasons? Share your go-to autumn/winter skincare tips below! Let's help each other navigate the dry spells and chilly winds with radiant and resilient skin. #skincare #beautytips #eyemask #eyepatch #antiaging#viicode #Eastsuperstar Photo from: https://www.pexels.com/zh-cn/photo/7623551/ VIIcode Blog: https://viiblog.com/index.php?route=blog/category&blog_category_id=3

Thorough cleansing is the foundation of skincare. How to deeply cleanse the skin?

Many of us these days are really focused on keeping our facial skin looking its best. But with long hours at work and late nights, our skin can end up feeling dry, rough, and seriously lacking in moisture. That's when a good cleanse is crucial. Let's dive into some methods for deep facial cleansing together. So, why is deep cleansing so important? Well, your skin breathes through the tiny gaps between its cells, especially in the outermost layer called the stratum corneum. It also absorbs moisture and nutrients through this layer, as well as through the pores and sebaceous glands. In hot weather, sweat and oil production ramp up, and combined with airborne dust, it's easy for pores to get clogged with grime. If we don't thoroughly clean our skin, those old dead skin cells stick around, making the skin's surface thicker. This not only makes it hard for your skin to breathe properly, but it also blocks the absorption of skincare products, directly affecting your s

Spring/Summer Skincare Essentials: "Clean" and "Light"

Summer has finally arrived, bringing with it a flurry of sunshine to bask in, but also putting our skin to the test. From UV exposure to dehydration, oiliness, inflammation, redness, clogged pores, and sagging, the list of skin woes seems endless. Finding the right balance is key: too much skincare can overwhelm the skin, while neglecting it can lead to summer sensitivities. For a summer skincare routine, remember just two words: "clean" and "light". Clean Routine: Start with a thorough daily cleanse. Summer means our skin's oil glands are working overtime, making it crucial to rid the skin of impurities and dust that can clog pores. Opt for waterless skincare to minimize the impact of water pollutants. Deep Cleanse: In addition to daily cleansing, incorporate a weekly deep cleanse. Oily or combination skin types can benefit from a weekly session, while dry or sensitive types may do better with bi-weekly treatments. Swap harsh physical exfoliants for gentle
