Most women care about their appearance, so they spend a lot of time caring for their skin. Many of the fair sex prefer to use professional cosmetics, but there are also those who try to use products prepared according to folk recipes.
Cosmetologists say that skin can and should be taken care of, but it should be done correctly, choosing the right products. However, many women and girls still have bad habits that are harmful.
In our article, you can find a list of the 10 most bad habits that can “steal” female attractiveness.
10 Universal creams
Many ladies are too lazy to bother with the selection of creams suitable for their skin type, so they buy universal ones. In fact, no such funds exist.
The fact is that the composition of cosmetic products contains certain substances that are suitable for a certain type of skin, for example, for dry skin it is undesirable to use a cream that includes a component such as zinc.
Also, in order to stay young and attractive as long as possible, you should use night and day creams. Night are considered more nutritious, they saturate the cells of the dermis and regenerate them. Daily products are quickly absorbed, moisturize the skin well and serve as an excellent base for applying makeup.
9. Fragrant soap
Girls and women are often partial to strong pleasant aromas, so they try to buy soap that smells delicious. Beauticians advise avoiding such products.
The fact is that in products that have a strong and pleasant smell, most likely, there are a lot of fragrances and other chemical components in the composition.
Such soap will dry out the skin, can cause allergies, bronchial asthma, dermatitis, eczema and chronic rhinitis.
8. Sun creams
Beauty experts advise the fair sex to stop using sunscreens, here they should not be confused with UV protection products.
The fact is that tanning creams strongly clog pores, thereby spoiling the skin; they also contain dangerous synthetic components that can provoke the development of oncology.
7. Makeup at the gym
Girls want to be beautiful not only at work, at a party or for a walk, but also at home, on the beach and even in the gym. Therefore, some beauties go to training in full combat attire, that is, putting on the usual make-up on their faces. Cosmetologists and dermatologists consider it harmful.
During sports, a person sweats, the pores on the skin expand, if there is makeup on the face, then foundation, powder can get into them. The pores are clogged, wen, black dots and other rashes appear on the dermis.
6. Acne Toothpaste
Many years ago, in the arsenal of cosmetics of our mothers and grandmothers, there were no acne remedies so familiar today, for example, Zinerit or Skinoren. Therefore, they had to treat rashes on their faces with toothpaste.
Modern cosmetologists advise young girls not to adopt this habit. Toothpaste really gets rid of acne, as it can dry out the skin, but it contains rather aggressive components that can cause burns and leave a scar.
If acne does not go away even after using the above remedies, then you should consult a doctor.
5. Touching face
During the day, we unconsciously touch the face several times, but this habit should be tried to get rid of.
The fact is that we do not always wash our hands before touching our face, thereby introducing bacteria, dirt and microbes onto his skin. As a result, pimples, blackheads and other unpleasant rashes appear on the dermis.
4. Facial soap
Cosmetologists strongly recommend abandoning such a bad habit as washing with soap, if at a young age it does not cause severe harm to the skin of the face, then it will only get worse.
Soap dries the dermis, disrupts its acid-base balance, as a result, it becomes tight, loses its protective layer, and becomes sensitive to pathogenic microorganisms.
To date, a large number of different cleansers have been developed, they are intended for different skin types, among them it is easy to choose the right one.
3. Hot tub
Many of the fair sex are very fond of soaking in a hot relaxing bath, especially after a hard day’s work in the cold winter.
But few people think that a hot bath harms the skin of the face, the protective layer is washed off from it, which means that access to bacteria and microbes is facilitated, and high-temperature water also helps to accelerate the aging process of the dermis on the face, neck and hands.
If there is no strength to cope with the habit, and a cool shower is simply unbearable, then you will have to at least reduce the time spent in hot water, and take a bath for no longer than 15 minutes.
2. Homemade scrubs
The era of the accessible Internet allows ladies to independently seek out interesting recipes for skin care products.
Homemade scrubs are in particular demand, but it is worth noting that they are completely unsuitable for cleansing the skin on the face. The dermis in this place is very delicate, and homemade scrubs based on sea salt or ground coffee can damage it.
After a couple of such procedures, the skin will become very sensitive, in addition, such scrubs can damage the deeper layers of the epidermis, which will lead to rashes, blackheads and pimples, and such products can also disrupt the relief of the skin of the face.
If there is a need to use a scrub, then special professional cosmetics should be preferred. Homemade scrubs are well suited for fighting cellulite, they perfectly get rid of dead skin cells on the body.
1. Hand cream on face
About 10-20 years ago, women applied hand cream and face cream, as it was considered a universal remedy. Modern cosmetology has gone far ahead, today the fair sex has plenty to choose from, they can easily choose the right creams for the care of delicate skin on the face.
Cosmetologists advise you to unlearn the bad habit of applying hand cream on your face, if you still have it. The fact is that the dermis on these parts of the body is different and needs different care. For example, many hand creams contain glycerin, and it leads to dryness of the skin of the face.
