    Yes, but it is not the fantasy counterattack of "40 years old becomes 20 years old" as reported on the Internet, but a real overtaking in corners that brings the skin condition that was originally worse than that of his peers back to the upper reaches, even three to five years ahead.

    There is a 38-year-old e-commerce operator next to me. When she was 35 years old, she stayed up all night for three consecutive sales promotions. Her face was so shabby that even her son asked, "Mom, why have you aged so much recently?" Her apple muscles drooped almost to the nasolabial folds. There are two loose lumps of flesh in the corners, and the sallowness on the face is so heavy that even two layers of foundation can't cover it up. Previously, I followed the trend and bought an anti-aging essence from a WeChat store called "7-day wrinkle removal". The rotten face has been rotten for more than half a month, and red bloodshot streaks have exploded all over my face. Later, she went to a dermatologist to adjust the plan. Instead of buying an expensive lady kit, she just used low-concentration prototype VC and repairing lotion for morning C, and slowly built up her tolerance from 0.1% retinol for night A. She had to put on hard sunscreen and sunscreen when going out, even to throw out the trash downstairs. She massaged her face twice a week with an at-home radio frequency device. She did Thermage once a year and 4 times a year for photorejuvenation. Even the full-sugar milk tea she drank for more than ten years was changed to 3-sugar milk tea, and she drank up to two cups a week. She has been doing this for almost 3 years. Last year at the company's annual meeting, she wore a tube top skirt and went on stage to receive an award. The newly hired post-95s girl privately asked the personnel if she had just turned 30. When her college classmates from the same year gathered at a dinner, they all asked her if she had secretly had a face lift. Before, she had never dared to think about it. It was not a counterattack.

    This is not to boast that anti-aging skin care is magical. On the contrary, many people think that anti-aging is all an IQ tax, and there is no counterattack at all. Another friend of mine spent six figures to buy a top-notch anti-aging cream. He only applied a spoonful of it when he remembered. He stayed up all night watching football and dancing. He didn’t even bother to apply sunscreen when he went out in the summer. After half a year of use, his face was still sallow and his nasolabial folds were deeper. He complained about anti-aging to everyone he met and said it was a scam. There are also many people who have too high expectations for the "counterattack". They think that applying anti-aging essence for half a month will smooth out all the static deep lines that have grown for five or six years. They will definitely be disappointed. After all, anti-aging is not magic, and there is no way to erase the traces of time engraved in the dermis with one click.

    To put it bluntly, anti-aging counterattack is more like a "time investment" for the skin. If you choose the right direction, spend 10 more minutes on care every day, use sun protection and do less facial makeup, your condition will definitely be much better in the long run than those who lie flat and have a facial reconstruction. However, if you always want to become fat in one bite and expect to have subversive effects in a few days, then it is really better to directly consider medical aesthetic surgery. And the degree of obviousness of the counterattack also depends on the foundation. If you don’t use sun protection all year round, you already have obvious problems of photoaging, sagging, and dullness. If you find the right plan to adjust, the improvement will be particularly eye-catching. This is what everyone calls a “face-changing counterattack.”” ; If your skin is already firm and tender with no blemishes in your early 20s, the anti-aging effect will allow you to still be healthy when you are 30 years old. It is a silent counterattack. You won’t notice the difference at ordinary times, but you will notice it at your class reunion 10 years later.
