The Most Common Skincare Mistakes - You Might be Making Them Too

THE MOST COMMON SKINCARE MISTAKES - YOU MIGHT BE MAKING THEM TOO

 Your skin is your body’s largest organ and the one that you show the world. So it makes sense to keep it looking its best. Take a trip to any drugstore or department store beauty counter and you’ll quickly be inundated with skincare products. With so many to choose from, it can be frustrating to put together a healthy skincare routine that works for you. One of the easiest ways to get started taking better care of your skin is to quit making common skincare mistakes. Once you’ve done that, you can start making better choices and choosing the right products to support those choices. Below we address the 6 most common skincare mistakes and how you can correct them.

Skipping Sunscreen

One of the worst things you can do for your skin is to forgo SPF. A good ឡេការពារកម្តៅថ្ងៃ creates a barrier between your skin and the rays of the sun, which helps to ward off the signs of aging, including sunspots and wrinkles. Most skin experts actually consider sunscreen to be the most important factor in fighting the signs of aging. The sun dries out your skin and damages it on a cellular level, so be sure to SPF-up as a part of your daily skincare routine.

Wearing sunscreen daily also lowers your risk of developing skin cancer. I know that we all know this on the surface, but it is often not taken as seriously as it should be. Look for a facial sunscreen that is designed for your individual skin type --whether that is normal, oily, dry, or a combination-- you should search for a face sunblock that is designed to give your personal skin type the best results without feeling heavy or making your break out.

When to use sunscreen in your routine: Apply sunscreen after your serum and moisturizer.

Popping Pimples and Picking at Acne

Squeezing pimples or picking at the acne on your face is a recipe for disaster, but it’s a fairly common skincare mistake that many people make. We know it is tempting, especially given the growing popularity of Dr. Pimple Popper and general acne-popping viral videos. But messing with blemishes on your face can lead to scarring and that takes a lot longer to heal than the acne itself; it may even be permanent.

The best thing to do for acne is to apply a product that is proven to shrink the pimple, and then just leave it alone so the product can do the work. If you’re prone to recurring bouts of acne, you can also switch to an ថ្នាំសម្អាតមុន that is designed to combat blemishes while washing. There are a variety of products specifically designed for ស្បែកងាយនឹងកើតមុន that are perfect for these users. We also always recommend a visit to your dermatologist for persistent or recurring acne.

Using Too Many Products

So you hear from this dermatologist on Instagram that product X and Z are best for your skin, then from your best friend who has impeccable skin that she uses Y and W, and from your doctor who says that A and B are best… and so you decided to incorporate all 6 products into your routine. But this is yet another incredibly common skincare mistake. It might seem that the more you pile on your skin, the more benefits you can take advantage of. However, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

A simple skincare routine is much better for healthy skin. You really only need four basic products for beautiful skin - អ្នកសំអាត, សេរ៉ូម, ជាតិសំណើមនិង ឡេការពារកម្តៅថ្ងៃ. Unless you have specific skincare issues that your doctor needs to address, you don’t need anything else. Look for products designed for your skin type and then clear out the unnecessary stuff taking up space in your beauty bag.

Washing with Hot Water

A ទម្លាប់ថែរក្សាស្បែកដែលមានសុខភាពល្អ means washing your face in the morning and at night. Hot water can feel relaxing, and you might even feel as if your skin is getting cleaner when you use it. But the reality is that high temperatures of water can actually strip away the natural moisture in your skin, leaving it dull, dry, and flaky.

The skin on your face is much more delicate than on the rest of your body so it’s best to wash with lukewarm or cool water instead. Once a day is a must, but many people wash their faces twice per day. Limit yourself to morning and night for the best results and the healthiest skin. Don’t wash too much either, as that can dry out your skin.

Exfoliating Too ជារឿយៗ

Exfoliating your skin is an essential part of any good skincare routine; it removes dead skin cells and product build-up to reveal the brighter, healthier skin underneath. Regular exfoliation also helps stimulate collagen production and boosts the blood circulation in your face. But often people hear this and exfoliate daily or even twice a day when they wash their face. Many people make the mistake of thinking more is better, which isn’t the case with an ទម្លាប់ exfoliating.

Too much exfoliation can strip away your skin’s natural moisturizers so your best bet is to exfoliate two or three days per week, maximum.

Consuming Too Much Fat

Consuming fats (such as oils, nuts, dairy, and meat) has been linked to persistent acne. If you are struggling with persistent or chronic acne, you should consider reducing your fat consumption (yes, even the healthy fat). Check out រឿងដ៏អស្ចារ្យនេះ។ about how these twins completely revised their skin and eliminated their cystic acne by reducing their fat consumption. They chose to change their diet when they discovered that Dr. Douglas Grose, President of the Cosmetic Physicians College of Australasia (CPCA), discussed the important correlation between diet and acne, as well as the frustration that the community has denied that connection for so long.

Other common skincare mistakes include using products not designed for your skin type, not drinking enough water, and not cleaning your smartphone screen often enough. By recognizing the mistakes you’re making in your own practice, you can work toward creating a healthy skincare routine that optimizes the best skincare products and helps you get the beautiful, glowing skin you’ve always wanted.
