Five errors in skin care

How seemingly small gaps lead to major damage.


Omission of sunscreen during the dark winter day or night, going to bed with makeup are things that, once made, is unlikely to cause any significant damage, but if you do too much, even such small gaps in care for your skin, it can lead to visible signs of aging.

On the other hand, if you spend just a few minutes a day for reasonable skin care can slow the emergence of wrinkles, brown spots and other signs of the times. Whether you regularly ignore skin care, or you do simply random error, we suggest the five most common reasons that lead to skin aging, and easily achievable solutions to maintain its fresh look.

1. I'm too tired to cleanse your face

"It was a long day and the last thing I want to do now is to clean your face."

The two minutes that it will take to clean the face before bedtime may give you a fresh look for years to come. Sleeping with dirty, oily residue or makeup person causes acne and enlarged pores. To easily remove the remains of the day from his face, always keep hand wipes.

2. Sunscreen lotions are for summer

"I do not need sunscreen - winter is!"

Exposure to UVA rays - the main culprit for skin aging, it is all year round, not just during the summer. And as these rays can pass through glass, you are protected by them even inside buildings. The main way to protect yourself from UVA rays and keep your skin is to use sunscreen every day or moisturizer with an SPF factor of 30.

3. Products are too expensive

"Taking care of my skin would cost too much money."

To save money, shop in the stores and, rather than through distributors. According to research, mass-produced products are equally effective than expensive branded lines. Look for active ingredients, not fancy packaging. The most effective anti aging skin containing retinoids, peptides, vitamin C and moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid.

4. My efforts were in vain

"I've tried almost everything and nothing works."

It may take even two months until you see the results of many of the ingredients in the products. So give them time. Another prerequisite is to combine new products slowly - at most one product every two months. Skin should build tolerance to aggressive anti-aging ingredients. Excess on the other hand can cause inflammation, which accelerates the appearance of wrinkles, brown spots and overall skin aging.

5. My skin is too sensitive

"Exfoliation makes my face red and irritated."

Removing dead skin cells helps to soften wrinkles and freshen the skin, but aggressive cleaning particles can cause redness and irritation. To safely scrubbed skin, choose a chemical exfoliator - as glikolichna or salicylic acid or a product with gentle cleansing grains. Avoid products with uneven texture and galling particles such as the walnut shells. Exfoliate once or twice a week.
