7 beauty and skin care tips to avoid

Beauty and skin care are what all women should do to make themselves look good enough, but why is our skin care always ineffective in our daily life? This is a skin care taboo.

Skin care is something women must do. However, women always feel that skin care is ineffective during the process. Why is that? Is it because you have touched upon the taboos of skin care? Come and check with the Women's Network to see what taboos you have violated:

Taboo 1: rub your face hard with a towel when washing it

Girls may feel that their faces are dirty, so they wipe them with a towel when washing their faces, thinking that this will thoroughly clean them. However, they do not know that this will cause the dead skin to fall off and damage the skin.

Correct method: Use facial cleanser to cleanse the skin, which not only makes it clean and refreshing but also controls oil and prevents the growth of acne.

Taboo 2: Don’t peel off the mask until it’s dry

When applying a facial mask, many people mistakenly believe that it is good only when the skin has absorbed all the essence of the mask, so they wait until the mask is dry before removing it. In fact, the skin's absorption capacity is limited. If the mask is applied for too long, it will absorb moisture from the skin, making the skin drier.

Correct method: Generally speaking, it is enough to apply the mask for about 15 to 20 minutes, and you can peel it off when it is half dry. The effect will be better if you apply it after taking a shower and the pores are open, or after soaking in warm water at about 40 degrees.

Taboo 3: Makeup removal massage takes too long

Some girls like to use makeup remover oil as massage cream when removing makeup, thinking that the longer the massage time, the cleaner the skin will be. However, they don’t know that this will actually allow the makeup to seep into the pores. In fact, makeup remover oil cannot be left on the skin for too long. Makeup remover oil is an emulsifier and it will irritate the skin if used for too long.

The correct method: It doesn’t take too long to remove makeup. Just use your hands to massage from the inside to the outside and from the bottom to the top for 1-3 minutes to melt the makeup, and then rinse it off with plenty of warm water.

Taboo 4: Use your hands to pat on toner

In order to save time and convenience, many girls directly apply toner with their hands, which is wrong. If you apply toner directly with your hands, if your hands are not clean, the bacteria will be applied back to them.

The correct method: First soak a cotton pad with toner, then wipe from inside to outside and from bottom to top. Wiping with a cotton pad in this way can not only clean up aging cuticles and residues, but also shrink pores.

Taboo 5: Frequent use of deep cleansing masks

In order to remove dirt from pores, some girls frequently use deep cleansing peel-off masks, thinking that this will completely clean their skin. However, they don’t know that peeling will damage the skin and stratum corneum. Excessive exfoliation will make the skin thinner, and the skin will become fragile and sensitive, causing dry skin and the appearance of spots.

Correct method: Basically, using it once a week is the limit. After use, it is best to use a pore-shrinking toner to regulate the pores. This can clean the skin while preventing the pores from becoming larger.

Taboo 6: Improper method of applying facial cream

Many girls like to use their hands to apply facial cream on a large area from top to bottom, thinking that this is clean and neat. However, few people know that applying the skin in this way will cause the skin to age and become looser due to gravity.

Correct method: First apply the face cream in a five-point pattern, starting from the chin and gently making circles from bottom to top, from the nose to the forehead, and then from the inside to the outside, from the mouth to the cheeks. This massage method according to the order of facial texture is the basic method of applying skin care products. It can increase absorption, promote circulation, and allow the skin to fully absorb nutrients.

Taboo 7: Buying skin care products based on hearsay

Many girls often buy skin care products based on advertisements and recommendations from friends, but they don’t know that not everyone’s skin is different. They use the products blindly without knowing whether the products are suitable for them. Improper use will not only fail to achieve the desired effect, but may also damage the skin, which is not worth the loss!

The correct method: Buy skin care products according to your skin type, and distinguish whether you need acne removal, whitening or moisturizing effects. Only by distinguishing can you be more professional in skin care.

Skin care is a systematic work, but you must avoid touching the above taboos, otherwise you will spend so much effort but there will be no effect.
