When the biting cold wind blows, the skin seems to be drained of moisture in an instant, and problems such as peeling, tightness, and dullness follow one after another. Winter is undoubtedly the "dry season" for the skin. In this battle against dryness, the red and blue light machine is like a behind-the-scenes hero, quietly appearing to add powerful help to the skin's hydration defense battle. 

1. The skin's winter "water retrograde" dilemma

The temperature drops sharply in winter, and the humidity in the air also drops significantly. The secretion of the sebaceous glands and sweat glands of the skin is significantly reduced, which is like cutting off the "water source" and "oil source" of the skin. The water content of the stratum corneum continues to decline, and the originally moist and plump cells become shriveled, so the skin texture becomes rough, and small dandruff begins to "protest" one after another, and the makeup is difficult to adhere to, constantly reminding us that our skin is trapped in the quagmire of water shortage. 

2. The magical principle of the red and blue light machine: the magic of light for skin care

Red light: the awakener of cell vitalityRed light is a light with a longer wavelength and stronger penetration. It can penetrate deep into the skin and accurately reach the dermis. Here, red light is like a rhythmic party of life, stimulating the high-speed operation of the mitochondria in the cells, the "energy engine". After the activity of mitochondria is improved, the pace of cell metabolism suddenly accelerates, just like injecting a shot of cardiotonic into the skin. When we apply essence rich in hyaluronic acid, ceramide and other moisturizing ingredients after cleansing and toning, red light will be like a diligent courier, promoting these nutrients to be quickly absorbed by cells, making the skin glow from the inside out, and collagen is also accelerated under the urging of red light. Synthesis, build a tight elastic network for the skin, lock moisture firmly, and effectively resist the invasion of dryness.

Blue light: the guardian of the skin barrierBlue light, with its specific wavelength, focuses on the surface of the skin and launches a precise "sniper" against Propionibacterium acnes. These bacteria are the culprits of acne. In winter, the skin's oil secretion is unbalanced, and they are more likely to take advantage of the situation and destroy the integrity of the skin's barrier. Once the skin barrier is damaged, moisture will be lost in large quantities like a flood. Blue light inhibits the growth and reproduction of Propionibacterium acnes, allowing the skin to be free from inflammation and recuperate, maintaining the stability of the barrier function, and protecting the skin's moisturizing.

3. The perfect encounter between red and blue light machines and winter skin care 

Prelude to skin care: cleaning and primerAs night falls, start this luxury journey exclusive to the skin. First, gently massage the face with a mild amino acid cleanser, wash off the dust and fatigue of the day with warm water, and let the pores breathe freely. Then, dip a cotton pad in an appropriate amount of moisturizing toner and gently wipe along the skin texture to replenish the skin with initial moisture and balance the skin's pH value, just like laying a layer of soft brocade for the subsequent skin care feast. At this moment, the skin is ready to welcome the baptism of red and blue light.

Dance of light and essenceTake a few drops of high-concentration hydrating essence that is as thick as honey in the palm of your hand, rub it gently to warm it, and evenly apply it to the cheeks, forehead, chin and both sides of the nose, and massage it in circles with your fingertips until it is completely absorbed. The precious ingredients in the essence carry the hope of moisture and quietly wait for the catalysis of red light. Turn on the red and blue light machine, adjust the irradiation head to a position about 10-15 cm away from the face, and let the warm red light gently sprinkle on the face. After 10-15 minutes of gentle care, feel the cells actively reborn in the embrace of light; if there are occasional small pimples on the skin recently, you can switch to blue light mode, 5-10 minutes of precise anti-inflammatory, extinguish the "small flames" of inflammation, and protect the peace of the skin.

The gentle care at the endAfter the phototherapy, the skin seems to be reborn, but also slightly fragile. At this time, choose the appropriate lotion or cream according to your skin type. For dry skin, use a rich and nourishing cream to seal the moisture, just like putting on a warm "down jacket" for the skin; for oily skin, pat the face with a refreshing and non-greasy lotion, just like holding up a breathable "parasol" for the skin. If you have spare energy, apply a mask containing soothing ingredients such as aloe vera and chamomile, and peel it off after 15-20 minutes, so that the skin can fall asleep peacefully in the soothing, and draw a perfect end to this night's skin care journey.

4. Customized red and blue light skin care strategy 

Dry skin: deep nourishment salvationDry skin is like a dry desert in winter, extremely thirsty for moisture and oil. Before the red and blue light skin care process, you can take a few drops of squalane skin care oil in the palm of your hand, rub it warm and press it on your face to nourish the skin with oil and fill the gaps in the skin lipids. After using the red and blue light machine, apply a thick layer of hyaluronic acid-rich sleeping mask at night to let your skin continue to "drink" in your sleep, and wake up in the morning to regain moisture and plumpness.

Oily skin: the art of water-oil balanceAlthough oily skin has strong oil secretion, dehydration in winter also causes many problems. When cleansing, you can choose products with moderate cleansing power to avoid excessive cleansing that damages the barrier. In the skin care steps, choose a refreshing gel-like toner and essence. After light therapy, if the face is oily, gently press with a clean tissue to absorb the oil to keep the skin fresh and clean. At the same time, control the frequency of blue light use to prevent excessive dehydration of the skin.

Combination skin: the wisdom of zoning careThe T zone of combination skin is often oily, but the cheeks are dry and tight. When taking care of your skin, you can reduce the application of heavy creams in the T-zone, focus on oil control and moisturizing with toner and essence, and appropriately extend the blue light exposure during phototherapy; the cheeks rely on red light, nourish and moisturize, and apply thick cream. This "adapt to local conditions" allows all areas of the skin to coexist harmoniously and bloom with balanced beauty.

In this cold winter, let the red and blue light machine become your skin's intimate friend, follow scientific skin care steps, and take care of it according to your skin type. Even if the wind outside the window is cold, your skin can be as moisturized as before, regain its translucent luster, and confidently welcome every new winter.
