Nine skin care habits that ruin beauty

After a whole night of metabolism, the skin is not as clean as you think. How can it be completely cleaned with just water? If the dirt is not cleaned thoroughly and makeup is applied afterwards, it will easily clog the pores and cause blackheads, acne, etc.

Nine skin care habits that ruin beauty

Bad habit 1: I often pour toner directly onto my hands, thinking that patting them with my hands will make the toner easier to absorb into the skin.

Analysis: Pouring toner on your hands and patting them will not only fail to cleanse your face again, but the toner will also flow away during the process, which is actually quite a waste.

The correct way is: soak a cotton pad with an appropriate amount of toner, and gently apply it on the cleansed face, which is also more hygienic.

Skin care bad habit 2: When I apply eye cream, I tend to apply it quickly and vigorously, finishing it in just two or three strokes.

Analysis: The skin around the eyes is the most fragile part of the face. If you apply too much makeup or pull it excessively, it will cause more and more wrinkles.

The correct way to apply eye cream is: use the middle finger to gently apply it to the skin around the eyes. The movements should be slow and gentle. You can gently tap around the eyes and massage slightly in a certain direction.

Skin care bad habit three: Every time I wash my face, I will wipe off the moisture on my face with a towel.

Analysis: Rubbing a rough towel on delicate skin will not only damage and irritate the skin, causing fine lines, but also hide bacteria!

The correct way to do it is: after washing your face, use a towel or facial tissue to press dry the water. This will cause much less pulling and damage to the skin than wiping it dry. Especially when you have acne on your face, you must use facial tissue instead of a towel and press to absorb the moisture to avoid bacterial infection.

Skin care bad habit 4: I am used to washing my face directly with water in the morning since I have already washed it clean the night before.

Analysis: After a whole night of metabolism, the skin is not as clean as you think. How can it be completely cleaned with just water? If the dirt is not cleaned thoroughly and makeup is applied afterwards, it will easily clog the pores and cause blackheads, acne, etc.

The correct way is to wash your face with facial cleanser, which not only cleans the skin thoroughly but also provides rich moisture to the skin, making it calm and comfortable, and restoring the skin to a fresh and tender feeling.

Skin care bad habit 5: When massaging your face, the longer the better.

Analysis: The time for facial massage should be moderate, not too long or too short, and must be determined according to skin type, skin condition and age.

The correct way is: Generally speaking, the massage time for neutral skin is about 10 minutes. The massage time for dry skin is generally 10 to 15 minutes. The massage time for oily skin should be controlled within 10 minutes. It is best not to massage if you have allergic skin.

Skin care bad habit six: I think it’s the same to use cleanser to remove makeup, you don’t necessarily have to use special makeup remover.

Analysis: Is it enough to just use a regular cleanser/lotion to remove makeup? As we all know, ordinary cleansing milk often cannot achieve the purpose of completely removing makeup. At this time, you need special makeup removers to help.

The correct approach is: removing makeup is the first step. After removing makeup, use facial cleanser to remove dirt, oil and residual makeup in the pores again to make the skin cleaner and more refreshed.

Skin care bad habit seven: I have dry skin, so I can’t use whitening products.

Analysis: Dry skin has no direct relationship with the use of whitening products, but dry skin must put moisturizing first to ensure the normalization of the skin's natural metabolism with sufficient moisture, otherwise the whitening ingredients will not be absorbed by the skin.

A better approach is: It is best to use more whitening essence or night cream at night to allow the skin to fully absorb nutrients and gradually show the whitening effect.

Skin care bad habit eight: Every time I remove my makeup, I always wipe off the lipstick directly with a tissue before washing my face.

Analysis: Wiping off lipstick directly with a tissue is too irritating to the lips and will damage the capillaries in the skin under the lips. In the long run, it will change the lip color and even cause inflammation in severe cases.

The correct approach is: lip skin also needs special makeup remover. Take an appropriate amount of eye and lip makeup remover on a cotton pad, apply it gently, let the lipstick float away from the lips, and then wipe it clean with a cotton pad or tissue.

Skin care bad habits nine:

Whether it is skin care products or makeup products, I use them sparingly and often put the remaining products back for next use.

Analysis: To ensure that beauty cosmetics are clean and not spoiled, you need to be extra careful when applying beauty makeup. Because spoiled or unclean cosmetics will not only fail to beautify your face, but may also pollute the skin, making it rough or causing pigmentation.

The correct approach is: when using beauty cosmetics on a daily basis, first of all, you should avoid using unclean fingers to dig out the product in the bottle/box as much as possible to prevent bacteria from infecting the unused parts. It is recommended to use a scoop or powder puff to take out the cosmetics you need each time; if the cosmetics you take out have not been used up, remember not to put them back into the bottle to avoid contamination. After using cosmetics, wipe off the residue left at the bottle mouth with a tissue and then tighten the cap.
