The Top Three Skin Care Mistakes
-
An unchanging routine all year-round
People tend to self-type their skin and think of themselves as having that
skin type year- round. While your skin itself doesn't
change, what your skin needs does change with the seasons (as well as life-changes
like pregnancy and age). You need a heavier moisturizer in winter than in
summer, for example, or a lighter one if you travel from a cold climate to a
warm, humid one. it's important to periodically reassess
what your skin needs at that moment in time.
-
Not using sun protection on a daily basis
With all the moisturizers and makeup products out there with SPF built in,
there is no excuse for this beauty blunder!
-
Overaggressive cleansing
Cleansing too often or using products that are chemically too aggressive for
their skin type is huge mistake. How can you tell if you're
making it? Your skin will feel drier than it should be and may even break out
a bit. A cleanser should clean without destroying the skin's lipid barrier.
