In the world of beauty, the internet is flooded with beauty tips. But not all are for practice.
Here are the eight most common skincare mistakes you must discontinue to retain healthy and glowing skin.
Stop home remedies for oily skin
Oily skin is a host of problems. It attracts acne, pigmentation, and stickiness. People think mum’s stuff always works and therefore try number of home remedies randomly such as honey-lemon, wheat germ, curd-sugar, etc., to do away with oily skin.
Oily skin deserves a better, and more customized solution with a proper skincare routine. You can visit Dr. Shehla Ebrahim to know your skin profile and the correct treatment.
Stop Experimenting on your Skin!
Internet is flooded with skincare brands that market their products with exotic taglines, attractive offers, refund policies, or 100% results in assurance. Greedily, we fall into the tempting trap of product marketing and keep changing products randomly every month.
Almost all skin products contain some or the other harmful chemicals that may or may not suit your skin. And randomly changing products exposes our skin to harsh ingredients that deteriorate its texture over time, and even normal skin attracts skin problems.
Stop direct exposure to Sun
The UV rays from the sun cause our skin to burn. And just like goods burn and change their color, skin burns and changes color, which we call “suntan or sunburn.”
Always apply SPF-30 lotion on the skin before stepping out in the sun because it acts as an “umbrella” for skin from sun damage.
Learn about your skin profile
There are three types of skin: Normal, dry, and oily. Every skin profile is different. A certified dermatologist in Vancouver will test your skin, identify skin needs, and recommend apt products.
So don’t risk your skin with harsh products and learn the necessary facts about your skin.
Do not prick or pop your zits
Imagine you got up one morning, and you saw big acne on your cheeks, what will be your first reaction? Popping the pimple right!. Even if you are tempted to prick or pop the pimple, it is advised to resist the temptation and allow it to heal on its own. Pricking or squeezing the zit will ooze bacteria to other follicles also, infecting them, and germinating more zits. Typically, the acne will heal and subside on its own, but in case it doesn’t, seek help from dermatologists.
Wipe your skin in the right way
Women find facial wipes extremely useful to cleanse their skin anytime, but the wrong wiping and the serum on it may irritate skin and make it dry. The best is to apply a recommended toner with a cotton ball only once a day to remove makeup and cleanse the skin.
Avoid using harsh stripping strips on the face
The bleaching strips are like home facial kits, but they deteriorate skin in the long run. The strips used for clinical treatment are dermatologically tested, customized, and very safe solutions.
In contrast, market-available stripping strips are common for all and contains some harsh product that may show a visible difference, but they are not good for the long run.
Help your skin glow inside out
Healthy skin glows inside out, and there is no alternative to taking the long route to get healthy skin i.e., a healthy diet, hydration, and exercise. Unfortunately, we tend to forget or ignore the basic skincare routine and have various skin problems.
For example- normal skin that looks oily is the skin’s response to dehydration. The skin produces sebum to hydrate and moisturize drying skin.
