Hello, everyone! Today we’re going to talk about a very practical topic, how to improve skin texture.
Do you often look in the mirror and realize that your skin is a bit rough and not smooth? Pores are obvious, closed mouth repeatedly, and even touch a little “sandpaper feeling”? Don’t worry, today’s post will help you solve this problem. I’m going to share 5 super practical methods, all of them are personally tested and effective, and easy to operate, let’s start!
Cleanse, but don’t overdo it!
The first culprit of rough skin? Improper cleansing!
Oily / oily skin: oil buildup can lead to clogged pores and roughness to the touch.
Dry skin / sensitive skin: excessive cleaning will damage the barrier, so that the skin more dry, flaky.
The right approach:
Use a mild amino acid cleanser at night and water or a very mild cleanser in the morning.
Oily skin cleanses with a low concentration of acids (like salicylic acid cotton pads) 1-2 times a week.
Dry skin avoids soap-based and opts for a lotion cleanser.
Remember: Skin is not a pot or a pan, it doesn’t need to be “brushed clean”, and moderate cleansing is the only way to refine the texture.
Exfoliation, but do not rub wildly!
Many people hear “rough skin” and go crazy exfoliating, but the more you go, the more sensitive you become!
The truth is: too thick a cuticle will look rough, but too thin will make the skin fragile!
How to exfoliate scientifically?
Chemical exfoliation (gentler): low concentration of fruit acids (5% or less), lactic acid, PHA.
Physical exfoliation (use with caution): ultra-fine grain scrub, once every 1-2 weeks, gently massaged.
Key point: Sensitive skin preferred chemical exfoliation, and the frequency should be low!
Moisturize. When the skin is dehydrated, the stratum corneum will be misaligned and look rough in texture and even flaky
Simple and effective moisturizing strategies:
Oily skin: light hyaluronic acid essence + refreshing lotion.
Dry skin: thicker creams, such as restorative creams with ceramides.
Mixed skin: lotion for T-zone, cream for cheeks.
Tip: Apply moisturizing products within 3 minutes after washing your face for the best water locking effect!
Sun protection!
Ultraviolet rays cause the skin to lose collagen, pores become enlarged and texture becomes uneven.
The consequences of not protecting your skin from the sun:
Short term: dry, peeling skin after sun exposure, rough to the touch.
Long-term: photoaging, skin loses elasticity, texture deteriorates.
How to choose sunscreen?
Daily commuting: SPF30+ PA+++.
Outdoor activities: SPF50+ PA++++ and reapply once every 2 hours!
Remember: You need sunscreen even if it’s cloudy, UV rays don’t take vacations!
Lifestyle habits have a bigger impact than you think!
Skin care is done well, if the living habits are poor, the skin will still be rough!
A few key points:
Drink more water: when skin is dehydrated, it looks dull and rough.
Eat less sugar: saccharification reaction will make the skin lose elasticity and pores are enlarged.
Sleep enough: stay up late will make the skin repair capacity decline, keratin metabolism disorders.
Don’t smoke: smoking accelerates skin aging and makes the texture worse.
Try it: stick to a week of early bedtime + drink more water, the skin will really become delicate!
Bonus Tip: First Aid!
What if you have an important occasion tomorrow and your skin is rough and uneven?
Here’s a quick first aid to improve your skin’s texture:
After gentle cleansing, apply a moisturizing mask (10 minutes).
Apply a light layer of moisturizing essence and massage gently until absorbed.
Apply a silicone-based makeup primer (to fill in pores and temporarily make skin look smooth).
Note: This is only a temporary fix, long-term improvement depends on the previous 5 methods!
