Washing your face with water or using sunscreen is a mistake many women make when skin care.
In the morning, due to busy or hurry to work that many girls often skip the skin care. Even many women think that it is enough to have a lotion in the evening and the morning is not necessary. But this is a very wrong view, the skin care in the morning is the foundation to help you get healthy skin, anti-aging in the long run, makeup layer is also fast in the skin, not dry mold. Here are the four most damaging mistakes that many women make when taking care of their skin in the morning.
1. Wash your face only with water
Many people think that at night we are not exposed to dust, so in the morning just wash your face with water is not clean enough. However, this is completely wrong, although not exposed to dust, but at night our skin is still oil, plus bacteria from the hair, pillow cases and other items can still accumulate. on our skin. At this point the face wash with water will not be able to bring the skin completely clean, if you continue to apply moisturizer on the skin just cause it to be more clogged acne only.
For a morning cleanser, you should choose a mild, pH balanced, non-greasy lotion. These cleansers will help to clear away excess oil and bacteria without irritating the skin.
2. Use products containing AHA, BHA, retinoid in the morning
Undoubtedly, AHAs, BHAs or retinoids are effective ingredients that increase deep cleansing capacity and limit the formation of wrinkles. However, skin care products containing this substance are not suitable for use in the morning, they will make the skin more sensitive in the sun, easily tan and dry skin peeling.
Therefore, in the morning you should not use the creams containing these active ingredients. Instead you should choose products that contain vitamin C, as they both have the effect of lightening the skin, blurred bruise and at the same time sunscreen when combined with vitamin C will work better.
3. Do not apply sunscreen lotion
Sunscreen is one of the most important skin care treatments that we can not ignore. If you do not apply sunscreen, any skin care or skin care products, anti-aging products will be useless. Because of that, no matter how busy you are, do not skip sunscreen.
In addition, some women have the misconception that using a foundation or SPF moisturizer is enough to protect the skin and do not need more sunscreen. In fact, these products can not completely replace sunscreen. This is because the sunscreen ingredients in soluble creams / lotions are dissolved with other moisturizing ingredients, so it is not possible to promote all skin protection effects.
In addition, when applying sunscreen you will need to apply 1 ounce - equivalent to 1 small cup - the cream is enough to work. While with foundation / lotion we usually only need about 1 pea - much smaller than the standard sunscreen, so these creams can not even provide the sunscreen as expected. want.
So even if you are busy in the morning, do not skip sunscreen, and use a specialized sunscreen to protect your complexion.
4. Ignore the body care
In addition to skin care, do not forget to take care of your body every morning. Body skin also requires as little facial care, so do not forget to use moisturizer after bathing and apply sunscreen before going out. You can also use other types of clothing, towels, hats sun protection to protect the skin of the body.
