Your girl gang must have that one pretty, perfect skin girl while the rest of you just whine over dull skin. Some people are fortunate to be born with flawless skin. No hate for them, but you can achieve almost perfect skin with the right products. We know you keep trying every product for flawless skin and end up having the worst breakouts.Following an irrelevant skincare routine is worse than having no routine at all.
Your skin is your sacred asset; you can’t risk it with the wrong products. Understanding your skin type and what works best for your skin is essential. Sharing some common mistakes that most of you make and end up having worse skin issues. You might not notice these patterns, but you’ll see the difference once you avoid them.
- Excessive Exfoliation is a CRIME
Exfoliation is a very tricky skincare step, and most people do it wrong. It’s an utter misconception that a harsh scrub removes the dust and dead skin cells better. Physical exfoliates usually damage your skin, making it more heat and pollution prone. Chemical exfoliators are always a better option to save your skin from irritation and redness.
Your hand movement while exfoliating skin matters a lot. Be gentle with your skin; don’t rub the scrub; it wouldn’t benefit your skin at all. Never, never, never exfoliate daily. Do it once or maximum twice a week.
- Using Comedogenic Products
Someone suggests a product that you just use without even knowing what it is made of. One of the criminal skincare practices is to use products with comedogenic ingredients. These products cause pore clogging and create excessive oil in your skin. The overuse of comedogenic products causes acne breakouts and whiteheads.
Skincare is an investment, so when you buy a product, ensure it’s labeled as NON-COMEDOGENIC. Always read about the ingredients before buying a product, and only use products made for your skin type.
- Not Following the Right Skincare
Skincare is essential, but you can’t keep your skin covered with a serum or cream all the time. Skin needs time to breathe so if you are following an AM routine, don’t forget to remove the products after 4-5 hours. And if you are following the PM skincare, get your hands on products that are gentle on your skin.
Overuse of any product can cause severe skin issues. If you use a Vit C serum or anti-aging product, read about it thoroughly. Always wash your face after 4 hours and give your skin a break from products. Also, using a pea-sized amount of your favorite skincare product is more than enough.
If you were doing any of this, stop it RIGHT NOW. Being sinful to your skin is the worse you can do to yourself. Up your skincare game with our luxurious & supple skincare range. Alara is creating some magic potions to give you happy, healthy, and forever-glowing skin.
