What is the difference between beauty and skin health

Beauty is "seeking good from the top", aiming at the visual beautification effect that goes beyond the daily state of the skin. Skin health is "supporting the bottom downward", aiming at the normal operation of all physiological functions of the skin.

A while ago, there was a girl born in 1995 who had three high-concentration whitening peels a week in advance for her wedding, and applied two functional whitening patches every day. On the day of the wedding, the original camera showed that her face was as bright as if she had been internally lit, and her makeup was so smooth that even the makeup artist praised her. However, the day after the wedding, she broke out in backlight rash all over her face, which hurt even when touching warm water. She came to me for a test, and her barrier function was only 30% of the normal value. Do you think her beauty effect was full at that time? But skin health is definitely not up to par.

There are actually different opinions on the priorities of the two in the industry. One group believes that beauty is to serve aesthetic needs. Occasionally, it is normal to sacrifice a little skin condition in the short term for important occasions such as weddings and red carpets. As long as you repair it afterwards, it will be fine. After all, many celebrities do it in a hurry before events. Urgent peeling projects are not part of daily care, so there is no need to go online and say that they are wrong. The other group believes that all beauty treatments that are divorced from health are short-term bubbles that damage the foundation of the skin. In the end, even the most basic even whiteness cannot be maintained. Instead, it takes several times the time and energy to repair it, which is completely worth the loss.

In fact, there is really no need to put the two on opposite sides. Just imagine your skin as a flower field where roses are planted. Healthy skin means that the land is loose and fertile, with neither waterlogging nor drought, and no pests or diseases. Roses usually grow in luxuriant branches and leaves, and after watering It can be absorbed quickly, and the leaves will not burn or turn yellow even when exposed to the sun; and beauty means if you feel that the flowers are not growing neatly enough, you can prune them, or add some fertilizer to make the flowers bloom bigger and more colorful. In essence, it is the icing on the cake on the premise that the foundation is good enough.

Talking back to the skin itself, the core of healthy skin is that the barrier function, immune function, and metabolic function are all within the normal range. It will not turn red like an apple when it is cold or hot, nor will the face become tight and tight for half an hour after washing, and the acne will disappear within three or four days without leaving any red marks. , this is already a very good health state; if on this basis you also want to lighten old acne marks, remove the sallowness accumulated after staying up late, make the pores look more delicate, or even just want to apply a compliant base makeup that does not stick to the powder, these actions are essentially in the category of beauty.

Oh, by the way, don’t fall into the misunderstanding of black and white. Don’t think that beauty will definitely damage the skin, and don’t think that pursuing skin health means you have to be bare-faced and not use anything. There are many regular customers around me who have very stable skin conditions. They do low-energy photon therapy once a month and usually use some mild brightening essence. They don’t damage the barrier, and their skin tone and texture are much better than those of their peers. To put it bluntly, don’t do the reverse order: first cover the healthy base, and then talk about the bonus points of beauty. No matter how much you do, problems will not easily occur. If the base is already leaking and you still focus on beautifying it, then it will definitely be your face that suffers in the end.
