COMMON SKIN CARE MISTAKES

Common Skincare mistake.

Almost every woman makes mistakes when taking care of her skin, before collecting enough information and experience about the proper skin care regime.

Here are the most common mistakes that women do when taking care of their skin.

Skin care Mistake 1 - Washing your face with soap

 Soaps dry your skin. It’s true that they make the skin absolutely clean and bright, they remove the blackheads, but the true is that the soap harms your skin. The soap stimulates the secretion of the sebaceous glands, which means more blackheads formation after every cleansing.

You had better use a tonic, cleansing lotion or gels that are specially designed for facial cleansing.

Skin care mistake 2 - Not removing the makeup in the evening

There is no need to say how harmful this is for your skin – the deep-rooted during the day dust, powder, mascara, makeup and the natural skin secretions remain on the skin during the whole night and the result is a sad consequences – clogged pores, pimples formation, acceleration of oils and most importantly your skin cannot ” breathe ” .

The reason for not removing the makeup usually is the late going to bed. That’s why you should keep a pack of wet cleansing wipes on your bedside table or you can simple remove the makeup earlier. Cleanse the face with cleansing milk, tonic or gel, apply night cream and enjoy a calm night.

It’s the same and for the boys – the facial cleansing isn’t just for the girls.

Skin care mistake 3 – You don’t use an eye cream

The eye area is the first to show any signs of ageing. In this area the skin is most delicate and forms wrinkles easily. Applying an eye cream is especially essential for those over 25. That’s why you should choose appropriate for you eye cream and apply it both in the morning and in the evening.

Skin care mistake 4. You think you can hydrate your skin simply with water.

It may seem simply but actually water contains large amounts of salt which may easily settle on the surface of your skin leading to the opposite effect – to dry the skin. If you want to hydrate your skin you should use thermal sprays as they have the best hydrating action. Thermal water contains minerals and elements which are useful for your skin -  it moisturizes and soothes the skin, preventing it from feeling tight and dry. Recent clinical research show that the mineral-rich water fortifies the skin, restores the pH balance and protects the skin against external aggressors like pollutionn for example. Applying thermal water in the form of a spray is easy and simple – spray it on the skin and after a minute wipe your skin dry.

Skin care mistake 5.  

You think you can use your friend’s or mother’s skin care products.

 Yes, you can use these products but only if they are appropriate for your skin type. Using the wrong skin care products is the most common skin care mistake. A recent research show that 64 percent of the women do not know what exactly is their skin type as well as that 37 percent of the teenagers use the wrong skincare and makeup products. For example if your skin feels tight and dry in the morning and during the day it simply means that your skin is dry; if you are prone to sudden rashes and burns it means your skin might be sensitive; if your skin appears too oily and greasy your skin may be mixed or oily.

Skin care mistake 6. 

 You think you can nourish your skin by applying Vitamin E ampoule.

It is true that vitamin E has excellent nourishing and moisturizing properties but when it is applied in the form of oil solution it may seriously irritate your skin and cause the appearance of rashes and small dark spots. Vitamin E added to lotions, creams, and other skin care products, as well as taken orally, plays a role in the anti-aging of skin. It helps skin look younger by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, reduce the risk of sun damage to cells as well as reduce the production of cancer-causing cells  but you should remember that the concentration of the ampoule should not be more than 5 % otherwise it may cause serious side effects.

Skin care mistake 7.  

You think all of the essential oils are harmful for oily skin.

 Absolutely wrong. Only the mineral oils may clog the pores and cause irritation to the skin. Almost 78 percent of the skin care products contain essential oils which have different field of acting – one hydrate the skin; others nourish the skin making it look younger and cleaner. For example jojoba oil, olive oil, aloe vera are recommended for those women with combination or oily skin.

Skin care mistake 8. 

 You thing that the scrub with natural particles is better than the ones with synthetic granules.

 Just the opposite. The edges of the synthetic particles have been processed and they won’t cause trauma to your skin. Limit the usage of  sea salt only form your knees, heels, elbows but never exfoliate your skin or neck with sea salt.
