What are the consequences of excessive skin care? Skin care should be moderate. Remember the 4 excessive

Many people are so eager to take care of their skin that they over-treat it. So what are the consequences of excessive skin care? Let’s take a look at the 4 dangers of excessive skin care that I will introduce below.

What are the consequences of excessive skin care?

Excessive cleaning

Some people cleanse their face twice or more a day, or even exfoliate frequently. These daily habits of over-cleansing are the trigger for a variety of subsequent skin problems. There is a layer of sebum film on the surface of the skin, which is the natural first barrier composed of the hydrolipid film composed of oil and water secreted by the human body itself and the surface structural substances. It kills bacteria or inhibits the growth of microorganisms and moisturizes the skin. It should not be easily damaged. Using facial cleanser or cleansing products to cleanse your face to achieve the purpose of cleansing and oil control is equivalent to self-destructing the sebum film. Without this protective film, skin problems will follow: dryness, sensitivity, enlarged pores, etc. Frequent use of chemicals in washing hands, washing hair, bathing, repeated scrubbing, etc., will excessively remove the seemingly dirty protective layer on the surface of the human body, resulting in skin allergies and dryness.

Over-maintenance

Nowadays, every young girl’s dressing table is filled with all kinds of lotions, emulsions, creams and masks. As long as there is something that advertisements or celebrities say is good for the skin, they will use their own face as a "test field" and try it out. These are all considered over-maintenance. If this continues for a long time, enlarged pores, dull skin, sagging, sensitivity, wrinkles, etc. will appear. In fact, as long as basic care is provided, such as cleaning, choosing skin care cream of appropriate texture according to the season and environment, and using facial masks only when there is a special need, basic needs can be met.

Overexposure

Nowadays, people love beauty very much. Short skirts, hot pants, belly-baring clothes, low-cut clothes, and all kinds of cool clothes that can show off a good figure can be seen everywhere. Even in the cold winter, some people wear short skirts. These are all considered excessive exposure. No one will feel it in the short term, but problems will arise over a long period of time. The biggest problem is also the one that everyone is most worried about and has always wanted to avoid through various means: skin aging. In addition to genetics, the biggest acquired factor that affects the quality of the skin is sun exposure. Ultraviolet rays can accelerate photoaging and photodamage of the skin, and the elastic fibers in the skin will degenerate, making wrinkles, various spots and skin atrophy more likely to appear.

Excessive whitening

People say that “a white complexion can hide three kinds of ugliness”. Women who love beauty will use more than one whitening product every day. Are these really effective? In fact, many whitening products contain substances such as hormones or heavy metal mercury. They may have a whitening effect in the short term, but other cosmetic problems will arise over time. To whiten your skin, the most important thing is not whitening products, but sun protection. No matter what ingredients the whitening products contain, it will be difficult to achieve actual results if sun protection is not done properly. In fact, our skin has the function of naturally metabolizing melanin, so as long as we do a good job of sun protection, even without using whitening products, pigmentation can still be naturally faded, although the speed is very slow.
