What does the skin care process include and what are the two parts

At present, the most mainstream division method in the skin care industry is to divide the skin care process into two parts: basic care and targeted care. Many front-line practitioners are also accustomed to dividing the skin care process into two modules based on service scenarios: daily care at home and professional care in hospitals. Both division logics have a lot of practical support, and there is no absolute right or wrong.

Basic care that we often talk about is, to put it bluntly, the few steps that must be done every day. The core is to maintain the bottom line of the skin barrier. No matter whether you have dry skin, oily skin or sensitive skin, gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and sunscreen are basically inseparable. I have seen too many girls chasing after various lady-effect essences every day. As a result, they are too lazy to even apply sunscreen when they go out. No matter how many whitening and anti-aging products they apply, it is basically useless. Targeted care is much more flexible. It all depends on what your skin needs at the moment. If you feel red and sensitive during the season, add a repairing essence. If you want to lighten new acne marks, add some niacinamide or VC products. If you occasionally get a few pimples, you can also schedule local application of low-concentration salicylic acid twice a week. It all depends on the skin condition. There is no fixed template at all.

For skin care novices, the logic of segmentation by scene is easier to understand. Things that you can do at home are included in daily care, whether it is basic application, applying functional masks at home, or using home beauty devices. Hospital projects that require professional operations, such as acne removal, photorejuvenation, and water injection, are included in the professional care module. The former is a steady daily maintenance, and the latter is a staged effect upgrade. The two are inherently complementary.

A 996 girl who works on the Internet came to me before. Her cheeks were always red and she always had inflammatory acne. She only dared to use the mildest baby cream at home and did not dare to use any effective products. The plan I gave her was to do a solid job of basic moisturizing and sunscreen at home, combined with some repair essence containing ceramides, and a soothing induction + red and blue light every two weeks. In less than two months, 80% of the redness was gone, and inflammatory acne rarely appeared. In fact, no matter which logic is used to divide it, these two parts are indispensable. It will be difficult to obtain satisfactory skin care effects if you neglect either side.
