7 Mistakes ruining your face
Stop popping your pimples
Popping pimples or constantly touching your face can damage your skin barrier, spread bacteria & increase the risk of scarring. Let blemishes heal naturally.
Don`t skip moisturizer
Hydration is essential. Even oily skin needs moisturizer. A good moisturizer helps lock in water & supports your skin barrier`s natural repair process.
Say bye to hot water
Turn down the temperature. Very hot showers & face washes can strip protective lipids from your skin. Wash with lukewarm water to maintain a healthy barrier.
STOP using too many products at once!
Layering retinol, AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C, & benzoyl peroxide all at once may cause irritation instead of results. Introduce one active ingredient at a time.
Don`t skip sunscreen! No matter what
UV rays damage more than you think. Sun exposure weakens skin barrier, increases pigmentation & aging. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every day.
Do not over-cleanse your face
Cleansing more than twice a day strips away natural oils, leaving skin dry, tight & vulnerable. Stick to a gentle cleanser morning and night.
Don`t over exfoliate; may cause redness
Scrubbing isn`t always better. Using physical scrubs or exfoliating acids too frequently can damage the skin barrier. Limit exfoliation once or twice a week.
