Some of us are genetically blessed with good skin, which requires very little tending to shine. But most of us need to be judicious with our skincare to notice visible results. Environmental pollution, stress and bad diets tend to overturn the best skin care efforts. But by avoiding some common skincare mistakes, you might still make a good recovery. Let’s consider some of the worst skincare culprits.
5 Common Culprits of Skincare
Not Using Sunscreen
Sunscreen is one of those skincare products that is a must for everyone, irrespective of age or skin type. The effects of sun damage can be hard to reverse. Prolonged exposure to damaging UV rays can even cause skin cancer.
To reap the benefits of sunscreen protection, make sure to not wash your face after applying, and reapply after every three hours. Keep in mind that UV rays can penetrate through glass, so it is essential to wear sunscreen even if you are indoors. Sun exposure causes dark spots, hyperpigmentation and sunburn, which is a pretty deadly trio. Sun damage also accelerates ageing.
Not Cleansing Your Skin Before Bed
This is another no-brainer. For skincare products to penetrate deeply, it is essential to begin with a clean face. Makeup, dust and oil all block pores and can result in breakouts. Nighttime is the time when your skin, much like your body, rejuvenates and replenishes itself. Give it the best chance at success by deep cleansing and removing the day’s grime before settling in for the night.
Overzealous Exfoliation
Ever heard the phrase “less is more?” Well, it applies to skincare too. There are certain natural processes the skin has in place to maintain its pH balance and control oil production. Any kind of aggressive scrubbing can have the opposite effect and create an imbalance. Excessive exfoliation can leave micro-tears in the skin and create irritation. It can also lead to increased sebum production and inflammation. For best results, a gentle cleanser daily and a weekly scrub is the way to go.
Touching Your Face
It’s extremely important to limit contact with your skin. Hands carry bacteria, and excessive touching can transfer the same onto the skin. With time, bacteria accumulation can lead to breakouts and rashes. This is also why you need to ensure you sleep on clean sheets and pillows and let pimples heal naturally. Any picking and plucking leave scars over time which are harder to tackle than the pimples themselves.
Excess Sugar and Dairy Consumption
Excess sugar and dairy may not affect everyone. But there is increasing research that shows that excess consumption of both stimulates oil production, leading to breakouts. A good diet is the best way to treat your skin from the inside out. This means increasing intake of leafy greens and antioxidants and vitamin C-rich foods like lemons and oranges.
Aside from avoiding the above mistakes, the most important way to ensure good skin is by being regular. Results take time, and it is best to stick to a tried and tested regimen over an extended period to gauge effectiveness. It’s also recommended not to change products too often. You can also maximize the benefits of regular skincare with spas, facials and dermatologist-supervised treatments. One such treatment is our HydraFacial in surrey.
A HydraFacial is a gentle skin treatment provided by medical spas and dermatology offices like our White Rock spa and Surrey spa. It is a non-invasive procedure that delivers great results in a short period. Our HydraFacial White Rock treatment takes care of a multitude of skin concerns like ageing, dry skin, acne, scarring and pigmentation.
