Stop Flaking: 6 Key Causes

In a wide range of skin care products such as essences, lotions or creams, polymer moisturizing factors, such as hyaluronic acid, collagen (gelatin), etc., are added to increase the viscosity of the product and provide instant high moisturizing effect. Because the molecules of polymer moisturizing factors are larger, they can form a protective film on the surface of the skin to slow down water evaporation, while improving the softness and smoothness of the skin. It can also block the intrusion of external dust and protect the skin from damage.

In addition, in some cases, skin care products containing polymer moisturizing factors may cause problems! This article will explain to you why skin care products with high molecular moisturizing effects tend to cause dandruff and how to avoid it.

Why do skin care products flake after applying them?

1. Because the stratum corneum of the skin is too thick, the ingredients of skin care products cannot effectively penetrate into the base.
2. Dry skin itself, as well as long-term use of alcohol-containing and irritating skin care products, can easily lead to dry skin and flaky skin.
3. For gel products that have formed a film on the skin, vigorous rubbing will increase the friction and cause the polymer glue factor to fall off.
4. Using a variety of skin care products with high colloid ingredients at the same time makes the polymer glue easily aggregate into clumps, resulting in a pile of crumbs.
5. When applying products containing fruit acid ingredients, peeling may sometimes occur, and the acidic nature and low PH cause the polymer glue structure to collapse and condense, resulting in flakes.
6. When you apply powdery liquid foundation or foundation cream, when the water, alcohol and oil in it evaporate, the polymer glue and the dry powder cosmetics form a salt precipitate.

Teach you a few tricks to improve dandruff

• Exfoliate regularly

Only by removing old dead skin cells can the subsequent maintenance ingredients be more easily absorbed by the skin.

• Choose gentle cleansing products

Facial cleansing products containing soap alkali have a strong oil-removing effect and can easily irritate the skin, causing it to become dry and flaky.

• Enhance skin hydration

When the skin is moist, using polymer glue skin care products will help better absorption. When there is insufficient moisture on the skin surface, not only the absorption and penetration rate of skin care products will be reduced, but the ingredients will also precipitate. Dry water-soluble substances, insoluble substances, dander, and polymer glue will aggregate into the skin during repeated dry rubbing. piece. Be sure to stop rubbing when there is still a slight feeling of water on the skin. Dry rubbing is not beneficial to the skin and will only cause sudden pulling.

• Adjust usage

Try to reduce the amount you use to reduce excessive moisturizing products that are difficult to absorb evenly and reduce flaking problems.

• Combined with other moisturizing ingredients

Used together with products with low-molecular moisturizing factors, it can help to achieve a deeper moisturizing effect while reducing dandruff.

• Don't rub too much

The correct way to apply the product is to apply the skin care product evenly all over the face, and then slowly press it into the skin with a gentle push or tap. You can also cover the face with your hands to enhance skin absorption. Don't rub it vigorously or insist on applying it until it is completely dry. This is the reason why most dandruff occurs.

• After absorbing it, do the next one

Don't be impatient when taking care of your skin. Make sure that all the skin care products are fully absorbed before proceeding to the next skin care or makeup application. Don't put on foundation or sunscreen before the skin care products are fully absorbed. The consequences of "powder + colloid + friction" will definitely be tragic.

• Maintenance usage sequence

Skin care steps follow from small molecules to large molecules. Just looking at the appearance cannot determine the size of the molecule. You can pay attention to whether the words ACRYLATE (acrylate), CELLULOSE (cellulose), GUM (glue), and COLLAGEN (collagen) appear in the ingredients. The more times they appear or the higher they are in the order, so The more macromolecules it contains. Usually products with a transparent or translucent colloid appearance are most likely to cause dandruff, but thick essences may also suffer from this phenomenon.

Recommended care routine: lotion → thin essence → cream → gel or thick essence → powdered sunscreen and foundation
