What are the relationships between beauty and skin health

The essence of the two is a two-way symbiotic relationship - scientific and appropriate beauty practices are positive supports for skin health, while beauty practices that deviate from the physiological logic of the skin will directly backfire on skin health and even cause long-term pathological problems. To give an inappropriate analogy, it is like raising potted plants. Beauty is the maintenance action of watering and fertilizing. If you water the right amount and apply the right fertilizer, the soil (skin) will be healthy, and the flowers will naturally bloom beautifully. If you apply fertilizer and water indiscriminately, the roots will rot, and the flowers will not last long no matter how you arrange them.

In the seven or eight years I have been doing skin management, I have seen too many clients who have taken detours. A while ago, a young girl who just went to college came over and said that she learned "intensive skin peeling" from a beauty blogger. She rubbed salicylic acid cotton pads all over her face twice a week, and also applied three layers of whitening essence and two deep cleansing masks. Don't you think this is true? It was a fool's errand. I originally had healthy combination skin, but the barrier of my cheeks was damaged, causing redness and stinging at every turn. Even when I went out in the spring and the wind blew, I felt my face was burning. Later, I stopped all functional products and only used basic ceramide moisturizing and hard sunscreen. It took me half a year to return to a stable state.

Speaking of the hotly debated issue of "Is beauty a tax on IQ?", in fact, the differences are not divorced from the relationship with health: Take the home radio frequency device as an example. A customer who has been using it for a year has done skin testing and found that the collagen density in the dermal layer is indeed higher than before, and the face is slightly lighter. The sagging condition has also improved a lot. Some customers have followed the trend and bought the highest-power device. They apply it on their face every day. After half a month, their skin becomes sensitive and acne breaks out. In turn, they accuse the product of being useless. In fact, to put it bluntly, it’s all about using the right method and frequency based on the healthy tolerance of the skin.

Many people think that beauty means applying expensive skin care products and doing high-end projects. Instead, they forget that the most basic beauty behavior itself is to maintain health, such as moderate cleansing with mild cleansing every day, and wearing soft and hard sunscreen when going out. This is actually the cheapest anti-aging beauty. I once had a client who was over 40 years old. She didn’t use expensive skin care products. She always wore a hat and an umbrella when going out for 20 years. She only used a simple moisturizing cream at night. Now her skin condition is better than that of many people in their 30s who use effective products every day. She has no unnecessary fine lines and is not sensitive. Her health is extremely stable.

Some people think that medical cosmetology is all about "destructive beauty", but this is not the case. For example, people with skin health problems such as redness and post-inflammatory pigmentation can choose photorejuvenation projects adapted from regular institutions, which can help repair the barrier and lighten pigmentation. The results are much faster than applying random things at home. They are afraid of doing anything because of the fire. They have thin skin and have to frequently undergo peeling procedures. In the end, their sensitive skin will be relapsed, which is not worth the gain.

To put it bluntly, beauty is never about pursuing "flawlessness" apart from health. If you keep your skin healthy, even if you have a few freckles and fine lines, it will be clear and stretched. On the other hand, if you work hard for the so-called "perfection" and sacrifice your health, you will not have that natural good complexion even if you cover it with expensive cosmetics.
