The skin is the largest part of the body and at the same time very delicate. Skincare is the way the skin is being taken care of and the products used on the skin.
There are different types of skin, some are more oily than others. And as such, the same skincare products cannot be used on all skin types.
It is necessary to know your skin type and know what works best for you.
See skincare mistakes, ladies:
1. Forgetting to wash your makeup brushes
Always wash the brush used in makeup at least every two weeks. When Makeup brushes are left unwashed, they hold bacteria and dead skin cells that can cause infection to the face when used.
2. Focusing on the face and leaving the neck
The neck has thin skin and can age easily and faster than other parts of your skin. Learn to moisturize your neck when moisturising your skin or face too.
3. Using excess skincare products
Skincare products are very wide and of different kinds, having varieties of skincare products can be overwhelming and it may lead you to attempt to use all of them on your skin. Be sure to know the right product for your skin.
4. Not changing your pillowcase
Using one pillowcase for a very long time can lead to acne. Learn to take care of your pillowcase, it is part of the skincare routine especially if you do not wash out your makeup.
5. Washing the skin with bar soap
Using bar soap on the face can harm your face. Use a better face cleaning soap for the face. Bar soap reduces the effectiveness of any exfoliation.
6. Sleeping with makeup on
No matter how tired you may be at night always try to wipe off your makeup or better still wash it off to avoid bacteria cooking up on the face.
7. Changing skincare products too quickly
Some persons are in the habit of changing skincare products too quickly, this happens when they think that the product they are using is not effective in their skin. Making the mistake of changing skincare too quickly can harm the skin.
8. Always picking on the face
Avoid picking the face always, some times we use infected hands to touch the face.
9. Using the same skincare products for over 10 years.
As we age, our skin also ages. Younger skin should be oiler than aged skin. Look out for products that match your skin.
10. Excess exfoliation
Exfoliation of the skin removes dead skin cells that build up over time to generate new skin cells, but exfoliating too much can cause damage and reduce your skin’s ability to fight toxins.
11. Being dehydrated
Water is essential to the skin and should not be overlooked. Taking water always would help in keeping the skin in a good condition.
Keep your skin in a good condition always.
