After the age of 40, while hydrating, use high-nutrition wrinkle products to maintain the vitality of the skin.

3. Intended effect you want

Different types of skin care products have different functions. Before selecting skin care products, you should ask yourself what effect do you want to reach through the products and what does your skin really need. Brightening, despeckling, anti-acne or just basic effect, this is what you need to consider.

4. Know more about effective ingredients

If you have fully known your skin type and the desired effect you want, you are ready to choose skin care products by telling and screening the cosmetics ingredients.

The identification of the cosmetic ingredient list has the following rules:

(1)The identified ingredient names are sorted according to their percentage in the formula from high to low, that means the fronter the ranking, the higher the content of this ingredient in the cosmetic.

(2) For the ingredients whose content is less than or equal to 1% in the product, they can be arranged in any order after the ingredients whose content is higher than 1%.

(3) Although the flavour is a mixture of various spices, it is only regarded as one ingredient in the formula table, marked with the word "fragrance", and is shown in the ingredient list in the order of percentage along with other ingredients.

(4) Pigments are generally marked with the number (ie index number) of the colorant, such as "CI73015". If there is no number, the English name of the colorant can be used, such as "Pigment Yellow".

It can be seen that the ingredients ranking does not indicate their importance. For example, water and some other substances such as glycerin and butylene glycol, which are commonly used solvents. In addition to their basic moisturizing effect, more importantly, It helps to disperse and dissolve the active ingredients in cosmetics, and help these active ingredients come into contact with our skin or hair,they play an important role. The content of many active ingredients may be not as high as water, and they are ranked after water in the ingredient list, but they are an important factor in the effectiveness of cosmetics.
