Nowadays, skincare has become an important part of fashionable life, but it has gradually fallen into the strange circle of “involution” — some people pursue “get-rich-quick” skincare, crazily superimpose strong skincare products and exfoliate frequently just to see results quickly; some people follow the trend to stock up on various big-brand skincare products, trying them blindly regardless of whether they are suitable for their skin type; some people fall into “skincare anxiety”, and when there is a little flaw on their skin, they become overly nervous and over-care for it, only to make their skin worse and worse in the end.

In fact, skincare is never a “quick battle”, nor is it a blind comparison of involution. It is a gentle coexistence with yourself, a long-term living habit, and a cherishing and preference for your own body. Real skincare does not lie in using expensive products or superimposing many layers, but in finding the right method for yourself, following the rhythm of your skin, and taking care of it slowly and carefully.

The core of skincare has always been “simple and effective”. Understand your skin type — dry skin focuses on moisturizing, oily skin focuses on oil control, sensitive skin focuses on stability, and combination skin focuses on regional care. Do not blindly follow internet-famous products or pursue “all-in-one” skincare products. Targeted care can keep your skin in a good state. Doing a good job in the three basic skincare steps every day — cleansing, moisturizing and sun protection — is more important than superimposing various functional products; regular work and rest, a light diet and a good mood are more effective than any skincare product.

We must accept that skin is never “flawless”. Occasional acne, dullness and fine lines are normal physiological phenomena, so there is no need to be overly anxious. The significance of skincare is not to create “fake perfect” skin, but to keep the skin healthy and translucent, so that we can have the confidence to be make-up-free. Treat your skin gently, do not rush for quick results, do not blindly involute, and gain health and beauty in the daily care — that is the most authentic meaning of skincare, and also the most gentle appearance of fashionable life.
