Today, thanks to social media and access to the Internet, as well as through the phone, people can get good recommendations and actionable advice. This helps to restore a natural appearance, overcome a number of problems, achieve greater “freshness”, and look younger. However, most patients are so deeply immersed in the issue that they sometimes forget about the main foundation—the pillars on which everything rests. Here are a few reminders of what not to forget.
Forgetting to Apply SPF
Sunlight provides the human body with vitamin D. At the same time, ultraviolet rays harm the epithelium. This can lead to burns, excessive drying, and various diseases. All efforts to become better will come to naught if you do not use SPF creams. These products, depending on the level of protection, delay harmful rays, prevent moisture loss, and reverse the aging process and the appearance of wrinkles.
Falling Asleep With Makeup On
Water and oxygen are what our bodies need first and foremost. Today you looked flawless, and your makeup charmed everyone around you. But it will be mistaken to go to rest with it on your face, expect a deterioration in the skin condition in the morning. Any cosmetic covers areas with a dense composition. Because of this, the face cannot get access to oxygen or maintain a natural moisture balance, and cells suffer from the process of “oxidation”. It doesn't matter how much time you spend creating the style. All makeup must be removed with special products, otherwise problems with excessive dryness or excessive oiliness cannot be avoided.
Over-Exfoliating
It is useful to get rid of dead skin particles on the face. The protective barrier will be restored, and the internal balance will be normalized. But you shouldn't overuse scrubs and other masks to remove it. Your body sometimes needs help in some functions with exfoliating, but in general, it knows when and how to start cleansing. There is a risk of worsening lipids and disrupting glandular function instead of restoring them. This will lead to a shift from a “normal” to a “dry” or “oily” state.
Ignoring Your Neck and Chest
A person's face is like a business card. At first, all attention was focused on it. But after a few minutes, people will turn their attention to the neck and chest, especially the décolletage. If you forget to take care of these areas, they will tell others a lot. Firstly, there will be a noticeable difference in the condition of the skin. Also, the neck and chest skin can give away a person's true age and level of grooming. And it doesn't matter if you're wearing a sweater today, you should always take care of these areas.
Applying Skincare Products in the Wrong Order
Just because two friends have already used the same product and solved their problems, it doesn't mean that it will help you. In fact, it may even worsen your skin condition. The peculiarity is that a special care complex should be chosen for a specific skin type. It's a good idea to consult a specialist and learn more about a particular product. Medical grade skincare involves researching the problem and selecting the right products. The wrong choice will not work or even worsen the condition and cause several new problems.
Becoming Complacent Once You See Results From Your Skincare
You've found a product that worked well and helped you solve the problem. But you shouldn't stop using it right after the first result or full improvement. The facial skin care process should work as a whole and as a system. It's like training your muscles in the gym: one missed workout won't hurt, but leaving it for a long period of time means you'll lose your shape. Dermis cells will lose nutrients, water balance will be disturbed, amino acids will be depleted, and collagen levels will drop to a critical level. Problems can return, and you'll have to start all over again and go all the way to improvement. It is better to maintain a routine now than to treat it later.
