我对护肤是"穷养"，除了不想把皮肤乱折腾成敏感肌肤，其实还有有2个重要原因。第一，我相信睡眠、饮食、锻炼和压力管理，才是护肤的根基，护肤品只有比较小的作用。所以我花在这些方面的时间和精力，比护肤多太多了。第二，我的护肤品和步骤都是比较简单的，使用感不错，有点小作用就不错了。综合下来，我的皮肤健康、没有皱纹、有光泽。

我护肤主要是做下面几个步骤。

早C晚A

早C和防嗮： 我先拿纯玫瑰花水打湿一小张化妆棉片，全脸抹一边，鼻翼多擦一下去角质层。然后用维C， 我用过料很多不同的维C， 我现在用的是 La Roche Posay维C精华 和 L'Oreal的12%的维C精华，是性价比产品比较高的产品。长久坚持用加防晒，脸色会亮不少。


然后上防嗮。 我基本上是La Roche Posay家的防晒霜 SPF 40和Olay家的防晒霜SPF 30轮流用, 这两种都不脱泥、不油腻，我用了很多年了。 出门在外有条件时，最好下午可以补一次。

清洁：化妆也好，用了防晒也好，我把La Roche Posay的卸妆油倒在Olay的清洁纸巾上，这两个绝配，比用化妆棉好。晕开后清洗全脸和脖子，清水冲洗，就可以很干净了。

晚A：晚上，我会用上La Roche Posay的维A按摩一下后，再涂上用成分很简单的Cetaphil lotion保湿锁水。我以前刷过不同的维A， 包括去皮肤科医生开的维A（浓度0.025%还是大了，脱皮厉害），最后还是La Roche Posay的维A温和一些，能不损皮肤能长久地用下去。

在秋冬天干燥时节，我晚上会在lotion里面加上1-2滴100%的甜杏仁油和荷荷巴油。以油养肤是个很流行的概念，我用了多年，感觉也非常好，皮肤非常保湿和有光泽。

眼霜：不管有没有用， 我还是脸上和眼睛分开保养了，我20多年一直用Roc retinol 的眼霜，一直没有皱纹和眼袋。

面膜：为了保证成分安全，我一般都是用100%的玫瑰纯花水，泡上纯棉的纸面膜敷脸，再带上这个面膜面罩神奇20-30分钟，极大地提高了保湿效率,最后再涂上保湿霜锁水。我一个星期敷面膜2-3次，皮肤感觉极好。

My Simple Skincare Routine: Why Less is More for Glowing Skin

When it comes to skincare, I take a "budget" approach. Beyond wanting to avoid irritating my skin into becoming sensitive, I have two core beliefs. First, I believe that sleep, diet, exercise, and stress management are the true foundations of beauty. Skincare products play a relatively small role, so I invest much more time and energy into my lifestyle than my vanity cabinet.

Second, because of this, my routine is incredibly simple. I look for products that feel good and provide even just a little boost. The result? My skin is healthy, wrinkle-free, and naturally radiant.

Here is my straightforward daily routine:

The Strategy: Morning "C" and Night "A"

Morning: Vitamin C & Sun Protection

• Prep: I start by dampening a cotton pad with pure rose water. I wipe my entire face, giving the sides of my nose an extra rub for gentle exfoliation.
  
  

• Vitamin C: I’ve experimented with many brands. I am using these best values now: La Roche Posay VC serum 和 L'Oreal的1的VC serum. With long-term use, it has significantly brightened my complexion.
  
  

• Sunscreen: This is non-negotiable. I rotate between La Roche-Posay and Olay sunscreens. Neither of these are tacky or greasy. I’ve been using them for years.If I’m outdoors, I try to reapply once in the afternoon whenever possible.
  
  

Cleansing: Deep & Simple

• Whether I’m wearing makeup or just sunscreen, I use a simple hack: I pour La Roche-Posay Cleansing Oil onto an Olay facial cloth, spread it out, and wipe my entire face and neck. These two are a match made in heaven. It’s way better than using cotton pads. A quick rinse with water leaves my skin perfectly clean.

  
  

  Night: Vitamin A (Retinol) & Moisture Lock
  
  

• Treatment: In the evening, I massage La Roche-Posay Retinol (Vitamin A) into my skin.
  

• I’ve experimented with several different Vitamin A (Retinol) products over the years, including prescription-strength versions from a dermatologist. Even at a low concentration of 0.025%, the prescription strength was too harsh for me and caused significant peeling.
  

  Eventually, I found that La Roche-Posay’s Retinol is much gentler on my skin. It’s effective without causing damage or irritation, which allows me to use it consistently over the long term. For me, "slow and steady" wins the race when it comes to anti-aging!
  
  
  

• Hydration: I follow up with Cetaphil Lotion—I love its simple ingredient list for locking in moisture.
  
  
  

• Winter Hack: When the weather gets dry in autumn and winter, I add 1–2 drops of 100% Sweet Almond Oil or Jojoba Oil into the lotion. "Oil-based nourishment" (以油养肤) is a popular concept for a reason—I’ve done this for years, and it keeps my skin incredibly hydrated and glowing.
  
  

• Eye Cleam：Regardless whether you believe it's effective or not, I treat my face and my eyes differently. I have been using RoC Retinol eye cream for more than 20 years. I don't have any wrinkles and eye bags around my eyes.
  
  

• Facial Mask: To ensure the ingredients are safe, I usually soak a pure cotton sheet mask in 100% pure Rose Hydrosol. Then, I put this magic silicone mask cover over it—it’s a total game-changer! It boosts efficiency for 20-30 minutes. I finish it off by applying moisturizer.
  
  
  
  I do it 2-3 times every week, and my face feels amazing.
