1、Ingredients that may undergo chemical reactions should not be mixed and matched
1） It is not recommended to overlap two ingredients with different pH values.。For example, lotions with astringent or exfoliating properties are generally acidic, while most cleansing products are alkaline. Generally speaking, there is no problem with most product combinations, but to be on the safe side, you need to try it behind the ears when buying and using any Skin Care products.
2） contain A Avoid mixing acid-based peels (contained in some anti-wrinkle skin care products) with gel-based products, as the latter will weaken the effect of the former.
3） Avoid superimposing products with ingredients such as salicylic acid and mandelic acid (some oil-controlling and acne-removing skin care products contain these ingredients). What these ingredients have in common is that they promote exfoliation of the skin and can easily lead to sensitivity.
2、It is not appropriate to mix and match skin care steps for different types of products if they are repeated.
It is not impossible to mix skin care products of different brands or functions, but you must ensure that mixing and matching products does not cause repeated skin care steps, because this may become over-care.
For example, if you use cleansing oil at first +Facial cleanser, this facial cleanser already has a deep cleansing effect, but then you switch to another lotion that has the effect of cleaning the skin, which is equivalent to three times of cleansing, which can easily cause damage to the skin barrier.
3、Products with repeated functions should not be mixed and matched
No matter which brand they belong to, products with similar effects contain similar nutrients and working principles, and most of the brands’ flagship brands contain high-concentration ingredients.
Therefore, the only effect of mixing products with similar effects is to superimpose functions and cause excess nutrients. Due to the limited absorption capacity of the skin, it can only cause a waste of nutrients and may even cause skin rejection.
remind: If you are not confident, don’t mix and match, just buy one series with peace of mind. It's so safe.
