What is the difference between beauty and skin health

The core difference is actually a different orientation - the core goal of beauty is "visual beauty first", while the core of skin health is "normal skin physiological function first".

I have been doing offline skin management for almost six years, and I have seen too many customers who confuse the two. The one that impressed me most was that last year, a girl went for whitening and peeling every day for a week, and applied three pills a day in order to get the best results for her wedding photos. Effective whitening mask. When I came here, my face was swollen like a steamed bun. It hurt when I touched it. Not to mention putting makeup on, even the slightest breeze was uncomfortable. In the end, the wedding photos were all saved by post-treatment microdermabrasion, but the effect of makeup on healthy skin was far worse than the original one.

There was a lot of quarrel on the Internet before. Some people said that all the pursuit of beauty is anxiety about appearance, and healthy skin is naturally the most beautiful. Some people said that I can do whatever I want with my own face, and I am also willing to have a bad face. In fact, both opinions are a bit extreme. To use a very common analogy, you think of your skin as a pot of Clivia you raise. Healthy skin means that it has strong roots, no rotten leaves, no insects, and can carry out photosynthesis normally. Even if the flowers are not so big and the color is not so bright, it can still live and stretch; beauty is like You need to properly adjust the lighting and apply some special fertilizer to make the flowers bloom more squarely and the leaves shine brighter. This is a good thing in itself, but if you spray leaf brightener as hard as you can to make the leaves look greener, the roots will be burned out, and no matter how beautiful it is, it will not last more than two days.

In fact, there is really no need to put these two opposites. I often tell customers who come to the store, don’t shout about whitening, anti-wrinkle, and zero pores. First, touch your face to see if it will become red and hot at all times, and if the skin will be itchy and peeling when the season changes. Even the most basic barrier function of locking in moisture and resisting external stimulation is not up to standard. All expensive beauty products are in vain, and may only get worse over time. If your skin is healthy enough and you want to have your natural freckles brightened with photons or super picoseconds, as long as repairs are done before and after surgery, it is a completely personal choice, and there is no need to be labeled "anxious". Last week, a young man came to the store and said that his girlfriend thought his oily skin had rough pores. I tested his skin and found that the barrier was perfectly fine. I then did two gentle salicylic acid treatments. The pores were much smaller and there was no redness or stinging. This is a good balance between the two needs.

To put it bluntly, the reason why we ordinary people mess with our faces is not just to make ourselves comfortable and look good, but to protect our health first, and then do some beauty extra points appropriately. We can do it as cost-effectively as possible.
