Stop Doing These Things Every Day, Unless You Want To Age Faster
Most of us have a skincare routine that we stick to out of habit — it’s all about a repetition of steps you have to do day in and day out. But what if you are you repeating the wrong steps?
The beauty world is currently obsessed with skin care, which can be both a good and bad thing. It’s a positive because skin care is, obviously, very important. Your skin is the largest organ in your body, and protecting and taking care of it is about more than just looking ageless or pore-less — it’s about staying healthy.
The popularity of skin care can be a negative thing because the influx of advice and tips from just about anyone can easily lead many of us to make some pretty big skin-care mistakes without even realizing it.
Although some of these mishaps can be totally harmless, and will probably just be ineffective, others can lead to irritation, breakouts, and maybe even a trip to the dermatologist.
The most common skin-care mistake most people make without realizing is sleeping on a cotton pillowcase. Better yet, switch to silk. Satin or silk minimizes permanent creases and complexion issues. Persistently pressing your face into a pillowcase causes trauma to the skin. Over time, this trauma aggravated by the friction of cotton can cause permanent creases as our collagen breaks down.
Another mistake is not cleansing properly. If you’re refusing to purchase a pricier cleanser, and you’re still using bar soap to wash your face every day, you’re probably doing more harm than good. When you wash your face with bar soap, you immediately strip your skin of all its water. This leads to a buildup of dead skin cells.
Applying moisturizer is then rendered kind of pointless, as all it’s doing is fixing the damage you just did. Bar soap also apparently reverses the benefits of any exfoliant you used, whether it’s a scrub or a chemical exfoliant. You’re better off biting the bullet and spending a little more on a much more hydrating cleanser. I recommend Youth To The People Age Prevention Superfood Cleanser, which is very gentle and made with great ingredients.
