Skincare is particularly important in the cold season. However, there are some mistakes that everyone has made before, but which should definitely be avoided.
Here are the seven mistakes most people make when it comes to skincare:
Too much care is not good either
Excessive care can also leave the skin blemished. This phenomenon is called “stewardess disease”. This can happen if you mix too many different care products together wildly. The phenomenon also occurs if you simply use too rich a cream with too much oil. Tip: treat your skin to a “day off” every now and then.
Wrong care products
Every skin type needs different care. You should definitely stick to that! For example, some women still have blemished, oily skin when they are over 30. With too much care, you will only make things worse. Tip: You can do a skin type analysis in the pharmacy. Then you can align yourself and buy the right products.
Too little hygiene in skincare
Not only does your skin need a lot of cleansing, but also the products that touch your skin, such as make-up brushes and sponges. Also make sure to disinfect sunglasses and smartphones regularly, because tons of bacteria live on them.
Forget make-up removal
This is probably the most common mistake in skincare: if you forget to remove your make-up, you get blemished skin and your eyelashes break. If you make this mistake regularly, your skin will age even faster. Therefore, you should always remove your make-up before going to bed.
Exfoliating too often
Exfoliating is very good for the skin because it loosens dead skin cells. However, too much is not good either, otherwise, it can lead to skin irritations. Once a week is enough. In no case should it be more than twice a week?
Shower that is too hot
Is a hot shower just right on a cold day? But not for your skin. Everyone makes this mistake once, but in the long run, it can lead to dry skin or even eczema. The shower temperature should not exceed 38 degrees and the shower time no longer than five to ten minutes.
Forget about your body when taking care of your skin
Although most of them regularly groom their faces, many forget about the rest of their bodies. This can take revenge, especially in old age. While the face often looks quite young due to constant care, the neck and décolleté are wrinkled and dry and show real age. In this area, in particular, the skin needs a lot of care because it is very thin and there are hardly any sebum glands or subcutaneous fatty tissue. So get used to taking your neck and décolleté into account when you are young when you apply a cream or mask.
