REASONS WHY YOUR SKINCARE PRODUCTS AREN’T WORKING
Getting the perfect skin is not an easy task, especially for people with sensitive skin. From spending money buying different products to occasionally watching YouTubers offer absurd tips, the skincare journey can be sometimes exhausting and frustrating.
拥有完美的肌肤并不是简单的事，尤其是有敏感肌的人。从花钱买各种不同护肤品到偶然间看到YouTuber提出的荒谬tips，有时候护肤之旅让人疲累又沮丧。
It feels like a wasted effort when, after diligently using products like toners, moisturizers, and serums, there is no improvement in your skin. Instead, your skin is worse than before.
每天勤勤恳恳地使用了各种产品如爽肤水、乳液、精华液，皮肤状态却没有任何改善后，感觉一切努力都白费了。相反，你的皮肤比以前更糟糕了。
At this moment, different questions pop up in your head about what went wrong. Let’s provide some answers to that.
这个时候，你的脑子里跳出各种不同问题，到底哪里出错了呢？下面，让我们给出答案吧。
Many skincare products.
护肤品使用太多
There is a limit to how much your skin can handle, so try not to overdo it when it comes to using skin products. And by overdo, we mean having a bogus ritual where you apply over ten products to your face within a time frame of thirty minutes.
皮肤的吸收力是有限的，所以请不要过度使用护肤品。所谓的过量，指的是为期30分钟内在脸上使用十余中护肤品的伪形式。
Limit your skin ritual to just four products, consisting of the essentials: serum, cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen.
将你的护肤程序限制在四个护肤品以内，这四个护肤品由这些必须品组成:精华液、洁面乳、乳液和防晒霜。
Fake products
假冒伪劣产品
Fake products are no strangers to the skincare industry, so if you want to improve your skin, not destroy it, steer clear of them. You might be thinking, how do I identify fake products? This is where research comes in.
在护肤品行业，假冒伪劣产品并不陌生，所以，如果你想改善肌肤状态，而不是毁掉它，请避开假冒产品。你可能会想，我怎么辨别假冒产品呢？这就是研究的意义所在。
Before you take out the money to pay for a product, go online and confirm if the product picture on the brand’s website is similar to what you are about to purchase. If yes, buy it. If no, walk away.
在拿出钱买某个产品之前，先上网确认下这个产品品牌官网上的图片和你要买的是否相似。如果是的，买它，如果不是，转身就走。
So, when next your toner isn’t giving you the glow you wished for after using it for two years, pay a quick visit to Google.
所以，下次如果你的爽肤水用了两年后没有像你希望的那样让你容光焕发，赶紧去谷歌一下吧。
Face touching
常摸脸
This act probably best explains why the hundred-thousand-naira serum you bought isn’t clearing up that acne. Quite a number of us are guilty of this unsanitary art.
这个行为或许可以解释为什么你花十万奈拉买的精华液消灭不了那些粉刺。我们中大多数人都犯了这种卫生错误。
The fact is that our hands contain bacteria due to the many dirty surfaces we touch. This means that for someone who likes touching his/her face without properly washing his/her hands, those bacteria are transferred to the face.
事实是，因为经常触摸很多物体肮脏的表面，我们的双手含有细菌。这就意味着如果某人喜欢摸他（她）自己的脸，又没有正确洗手，细菌就会转移到他（她）的脸上。
The point is, don’t touch your face.
关键是，不要摸脸。
Zero patience
没有耐心
As odd as it sounds, that product you think is not working may need more time to be fully effective. One thing about Nigerians is that we are always in a haste to get quick results.
这个说法听起来很奇怪，但是，你认为没有用的产品或许需要更多时间才会完全见效。尼日利亚人的一个特点是，我们总是急于求成。
The journey to a perfect skin takes time, and patience is an important tool to be armed with. Give that product time before completely condemning it.
追寻完美肌肤之旅需要时间，而耐心是一个重要武器。在完全否定一个产品之前，要给它足够的时间。
Stick to one brand
Dear skin product users, stick to one brand.
坚持使用一个品牌，亲爱的护肤品用户，请坚持使用一个品牌
For example, a person who decides to buy a Nivea moisturizer, Cerave cleanser, The ordinary serum, and a face toner might find it hard to see results.
比如，一个人如果购买妮维雅的乳液、Ordinary精华液和面部爽肤水，可能很难见效。
Stick to buying all your skin essentials from one brand; it helps boost results.
坚持从一同个品牌商那里购买所有护肤必需品，这样效果更好。
