How it's used
Focuses specifically on the act of maintaining skin health through products or routines. While it acts as a verb, it is frequently used as a compound noun base for related items like 護膚品 or 護膚程序. It carries a slightly more clinical or beauty-conscious tone compared to simply washing one's face.
Examples
Do you usually do any skincare?
She does skincare every day, her skin is very nice.
Related words
Common mistake
Avoid using it to describe the simple act of washing your face, which is better expressed as 洗面. It specifically implies a deliberate, multi-step process intended to improve or preserve skin quality.
