17 Skincare Mistakes That You Always Do

 We always love to be look beautiful. For that we do many treatments on our skin. But do you ever think about your skin's interests? You think that the skin will bear everything, don't you? But mind you, your skin is very intelligent. So if you do anything that the skin don't want to do, it will react. Hence you should be careful while you do your skincare treatments. Here  I would like to present 17 skincare mistakes that you always do.

Not knowing your skin

It is the fundamental mistake that people always do. They use many products without knowing their skin type, structure, problems etc. It is essential to understand completely about your skin and act accordingly. Use products that suitable for your skin.

Not understanding skincare ingredients

Many of you buy beauty products without checking the ingredients in it. This is also a mistake. As we said earlier you should buy skincare products that suits your skin. And while buying it, you should check the ingredients list first. For that you need to understand the main ingredients used in preparing skincare products and understand what is necessary for your skin.

Cleansing

Based on cleansing, there are some mistakes that you do often. The first one is using of strong face wash. Mild face wash is good for your skin otherwise your skin will dry very much. And it is also seen that cleansing aggressively on your skin but it is not good as it will damage your skin. Do it gently and don't make the cleanser or face wash to sit for more than one minute. Because it is not a  face pack guys!!! And avoid soap to wash your face. Its a big mistake. The skin experts also said that cleansing too many times in a day will damage your skin.

Rubbing skin rigorously

Are you doing it often? Then stop that now itself. Rubbing your skin rigorously will make your skin rough. And the material that you use to wipe your face also matters. It is advisable to use soft and smooth cotton pads for wipe your skin. And you should wipe out the cleansing water completely out of your skin. Pat wet skin rather than drag it.

Continuously touching your skin

We always do that. But you should avoid it as much as possible. We touch many things with our hands so that dirt and dust will be on it. If we touch face with those hands imagine what happens!!!

Treating skin areas

Treating skin areas equally is a mistake. If you have a combination skin, applying a particular moisturizer all over your face is not right. If your cheeks are dry you should apply a moisturizer that for dry skin and if the T zone is oily then you should apply a moisturizer for oily skin on that part.

Use of several products

It is not advisable to use several products on your skin specially the teenagers. It can cause redness, irritation, dryness, and worsened breakouts on your skin.

Not moisturizing oily skin

Many of the people with oily skin often thinks that " I have oily skin, so I don't have to moisturize my skin". This is a big mistake.  If you do not apply a moisturizer your skin will become more oily. The external factors like pollution, UV rays etc. can cause skin damage and dehydrate your skin which leads to the increase in oil production.  So it is necessary to apply moisturizer and there are a wide range of moisturizers and you can choose that suitable to you.

Not reapplying sunscreen in a day

Not reapplying sunscreen in a day is also a mistake. Sunscreens with higher SPF does not indicate that they will active for full day. Its a misconception.  You should reapply the sunscreen every after two or three hours.

Using anti- ageing products too early

It is seen that girls in 20s or 18 using anti aging products  like Roc Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Anti-Aging Retinol Night Cream, Olay Total Effects Anti-Aging Moisturizer SPF 15, SkinCeuticals C + AHA etc. This is a mistake. This will cause adverse effects like pre-mature ageing. So don't do that.

Applying exfoliating agents everyday

Applying exfoliating agents everyday is not good for your skin. It will make your skin dry and rough. Use it twice a week.

 Applying actives together

You should not mix  products having

• VITAMIN C + AHAS/BHAS.
• RETINOL + AHAS/BHAS.
• RETINOL + VITAMIN C.
• OIL-BASED + WATER-BASED.
• GLYCOLIC ACID + SALICYLIC ACID.
• NIACINAMIDE + VITAMIN C.

Applying actives together will damage your skin.

•  

 Using serums too early

•  
• It is also a skincare mistake. There are different types of serums. Women below 30 years need not to use anti- ageing face serums while glow serums can be use at any age. But the spot treatment and acne serums should be use after 20 years.
• 
  
• Picking acne, blackheads and whiteheads
• 
  
• There is no one who has not made this mistake at least once in their life. 
• Popping your acnes may cause infections to your skin. Understand that your skin is very intelligent. You don't need to do all things for your skin. Let the skin heal it naturally. If you have serious problems with pimples, blackheads or whiteheads consult a dermatologist.

Not removing make up before going to bed

Going to bed with your make up on is a mistake that cause skin problems. While sleeping the pores of the skin will open and if you not removed your make up the pores will clog and the skin cannot breathe. And also the skin will gather bacteria which cause severe problems.

Use of cotton pillow cases

The cotton pillow cases are rough and it will make collagen breakdown and that will leads to form creases on your skin. Use synthetic or silky pillow cases as it minimize friction and prevent to form creases on your face.

No diet and exercise

The skincare products alone can't improve and protect your skin. Proper diet and exercise  needed to maintain healthy skin. 

To sum up bear these things in mind, drink a lot of water, use suitable products for your skin but not too much, use products according to your age, climate, place and keep your mind stress free. So that you can glow up your skin..
