These gestures to banish from our facial care routine
We all want to have a radiant face and healthy skin. Many products and techniques are used for this, but not all are the same. In addition, the combination of care can harm the beauty of the epidermis and produce the opposite effect of the one sought. Even if that is not what we want, we sometimes do ourselves more harm than good. To help you correct the situation and treat yourself as well as possible, we would like to draw your attention to these actions to be banned from our facial care routine. Here’s how to achieve radiant skin every day.
Watch out for frequent scrubs!
As we know, a scrub once or twice a week is essential to rid the epidermis of the dead cells and other impurities that choke it and unclog the pores. However, scrub grains can damage your skin if scrubs are applied too frequently. And if you have dry and sensitive skin in particular. There are scrubs without exfoliating grains, you might say… This is true, but their chemical composition remains quite picky and can also attack the skin if used too much.
The Right Thing to Do: Choose a scrub that suits the nature of your skin and use it sparingly.
Your smartphone: a bacterial nest
To preserve your skin, you often think about caring for it with cosmetics. However, certain everyday actions can also harm his health. For example, the use of smartphones, especially screens, can cause skin problems. They are in fact vectors of bacteria that can cause skin reactions such as pimples, redness of blackheads or infections of the mouth or eyes (aphthous or conjunctivitis).
The right thing to do: Call as often as possible using a hands-free kit or your device’s speaker. Clean your phone regularly with an antibacterial wipe. Wash your face every night with a cleanser (micellar water or make-up remover milk) to remove sebum and remove any impurities that have been deposited during the day.
Being unfaithful to your fetish
If you are used to using a product that suits you, don’t change it! At least it is possible to test different products, but there is a deadline for that. It is believed that by changing your facial care too often, your skin does not have time to get used to it and the care becomes less effective. In addition, changing products every day exposes you to the risk of accumulating too many assets that could become parasitic between them. Nothing is better for your skin to protest and react accordingly! Once sensitized, your skin will not tolerate any care for some time. Think about it!
The right thing to do: A skin cell renewal cycle lasts about 4 weeks, so leave this time between tests of different skin care products.
Do not disassociate body and face care
As indicated on the packaging, body products must not be used on the face and vice versa. Of course, you may deviate from the rule from time to time, for example when you are travelling or when you are rescuing, if you only have one product on you. The properties of these treatments are indeed different and specific to each area. In the shower, you do not wash your face with a shower gel, but you use a cleansing gel or foam for the face. According to the same principle, body cream does not substitute for day cream. Finally, we avoid multi-use products: although they seem practical, they often do not fully meet our needs.
The Right Thing to Do: Buy less expensive treatments that are specific to the area to be treated. Keep in mind the famous «a care for a targeted action». For the face, all you need is a good cleansing lotion, a serum and a daily moisturizer. An exfoliating product and a natural mask will be added once a week.
Overuse
As with makeup, the “least is better” rule applies to facial care. Avoid applying too much moisturizer that our epidermis will have trouble absorbing and will deprive it of all the benefits of the product.
The right thing to do: choose products that can deliver the right dose or take a small amount of material from the pot and add it yourself. If you missed a treatment, don’t fill it with a double dose the next day. If you notice that your night or day cream is made like dead skin, this is a sign that you have applied too much of it.
Do not clean your beauty accessories
Last, but not least, is essential skin hygiene. If you use beauty accessories to heal your skin or apply make-up, you should clean them regularly. Your jade rolls, beauty blender, brushes and other sponges should normally be cleaned after each use. If professionals are working on it, it can be more difficult to fit in our day. We advise you to wash all your accessories at least once a week.
You are now familiar with these steps to banish from our facial care routine. You will find that they appeal to everyone’s common sense and that they are not difficult to apply on a daily basis. However, they guarantee the beauty and health of the skin of your face and will keep you away from inflammations, infections and other unsightly and sometimes very complex skin problems to treat.
