1. Go to bed with makeup
If you do not wash off makeup before going to bed, serious inflammation may appear on your skin. To wear make-up round-the-clock also affects the skin and, alas, speeds up the aging process.
2. Tend to "dry" the oily skin
The fact that the skin is oily does not mean that it has a lot of moisture. Excess of fat layer is normalized by special products. Overdrying of oily skin does not solve the problem, but, on the contrary, activates the sebaceous glands even more.
3. Do not wipe off the excess water from your face after washing
If the water dries on the skin by yourself, drops of water draw moisture from the layers of the epidermis, which not only does not moisten, but, on the contrary, additionally over-dry the skin.
4. Use anti-aging cosmetics "to prevent" wrinkles in early years
Each age has its own peculiarities and problems, and the methods for solving them are necessarily different. The use of anti-age cosmetics will be either simply useless (at best), or the stimulating ingredients will do harm to young skin.
5. Feel free to rub the ice cubes on your face
You should be careful with this beauty advice. For example, if the blood vessels are very close to the skin or are thin, instead of the beneficial effect of ice cubes, vascularity spots may appear on the skin.
6. Forget about cosmetics with UV filters
Facing the sun without protecting your skin with special cosmetic products or at least a day cream with UV filter – is a real crime. Both in winter and in summer the sun influences the skin condition and acts as the main stimulator of signs of aging.
7. Use the same cosmetics in winter and summer
The difference in weather conditions affects the skin condition. When it is the warm season it is better to give preference to moisturizers, if it is the cold season - use nourishing products. If you are looking for a "universal" washing product, choose the one that have a cream base.
8. Avoid the neck and decollete area while applying cream
The neck skin, as well as the decollete area, requires care not less than the face. If you do not take a proper care of it, signs of aging will appear there in the first turn.
9. Wash your face with usual soap
Toilet soap makes the dry skin feel unpleasantly tight. But if your skin is oily, soap will wash off not only pollution, but also protective oily film, which can lead to dehydration and unpleasant consequences.
10. Do not be afraid to use cosmetics with an expired shelf life
The shelf life is indicated for a reason. Over time, some products become toxic and can provoke an allergy, while in the others specific bacteria appear and they become carriers of infections.
11. Apply eye cream over all eyelid
Cream under the eyes must be applied very carefully, and only along the perimeter of the upper and lower eyelid. If you rub the cream into the delicate skin very close to the eyes, you can get the opposite effect - wrinkles and "sagging" skin.
12. Refuse from the night creams
At night, the skin "works" in a completely different regime - the main regenerative processes are activated exactly at this time. And care during sleep should also be special. Night nourishing, moisturizing etc. (depending on your needs) cream will do its job much faster and more efficiently than the day cream.
