How to Defeat Acne? Choose Right Cosmetics!

One day, my girlfriend came to see me and showed me that her face grew with some acne. And she cried that she would not hang out with me this weekend unless all the acne was terminated. Then I went to see the book and found how to defeat acne, soon I got it, we need to choose right cosmetics!

As we all know, acne is a common skin condition which occurs at any time when skin pores become clogged and bacteria settle in, causing the pores to become infected. Several factors can contribute to developing acne such as oily skin, hormones, diet, skin care products, and even your skin care routine. Acne is treatable and even prevented by changing the lifestyle and diet in our everyday routine, and applying the right skin care products or cosmetics.

Then I introduced some general skin care routines to her. I told her, cleansing is the first essential step to any daily skin care routine. Cleansers are generally applied to wet skin over the face and sometimes also the neck, avoiding the eyes and lips. Cleansing the face once per day is typically adequate for normal or dry skins. However, a mild cleanser should also be used at night if makeup has been worn to remove any excess dirt or oil. Oily skins should be cleansed more frequently, at least twice per day. Water-based, gentle cleansers are ideal for all skin types, though particularly acne-prone skin may require medicated cleansers containing particular peroxide or salicylic acid to discourage acne. If the first step cannot be carried, then we had better not use the cosmetics or any other products.

Moreover, soap can also be used as a cleanser, it should be avoided in cases of dry and sensitive skins; many alternatives are available. Oil-based cleansers have become particularly popular with oily skin, as they are very gentle and do not over-dry the skin, but still effectively remove dirt and makeup. It is important to cleanse before applying makeup, regardless of skin type, as this helps to create a clean surface for makeup application. Many cleansers are also suitable for use as a makeup remover, but proper makeup remover is preferable, particularly for the removal of eye makeup.

Heard of this, my girlfriend became bright in her face and gave a big kiss. Hope anyone who see this tips can follow my way and give your intimate a new surprise.

What is the Difference between Cosmetics and Masks?

Actually, most people cannot tell the difference between cosmetics and masks. Sure, we mean not the outlook of them, but their specific function. In fact, face masks are treatments applied to the skin for a period of time then removed while cosmetics have distinct usage. Typically, they are applied to a dry, cleansed face, avoiding the eyes and lips.

Here we mainly introduce the face masks to humans. There are many kinds of face masks nowadays, which typically fall into one or more of the following categories. Firstly, clay-based masks use kaolin clay or fuller’s earth to transport essential oils and chemicals to the skin, and are typically left on until completely dry. As the clay dries, it absorbs excess oil and dirt from the surface of the skin and may help to clear blocked pores or draw comedies to the surface. Because of its drying actions, clay-based masks should only be used on oily skins.

For cosmetics, it is totally different. Peel masks are typically gel-like in consistency, and contain various acids or exfoliating agents to help exfoliate the skin, along with other ingredients to hydrate, discourage wrinkles, or treat uneven skin tone. They are also left on to dry, and then gently peeled off. They should be avoided by people with dry skin, as they also tend to be very drying. At the same time, cosmetics can also come true such use.

There are another kind of masks that’s loved by people, sheet mask. It is relatively a new product that is becoming extremely popular in Asia. Sheet masks consist of a thin cotton or fiber sheet with holes cut out for the eyes and lips and cut to fit the contours of the face, onto which serums and skin treatments are brushed in a thin layer; the sheets may also be soaked in the treatment. Masks are available to suit almost all skin types and skin complaints. Sheet masks are quicker, less messy, and require no specialized knowledge or equipment for their use compared to other types of face masks, but they may be difficult to find and purchase outside Asia. Technically speaking, cosmetics do better than the sheet masks.

Now, are you clear with the difference between the mask and the cosmetic? On the way of becoming beautiful, be a smart one and choose right product.
