Skin Care Mistakes

Monday, January 5th, 2009

I got this from one of the articles in Yahoo Health.

It’s true that one doesn’t have to spend a fortune to have great skin. We’re easily convinced to buy those creams or skin product systems that costs a fortune.  Some of those products may actually improve your skin, but there’s a cheaper and less hectic way to get great skin by building good habits.

Here are some of the mistakes that we often do when using skin care products:

1. Using a cleanser with harsh detergents. Suds! We have this misconception that a lot of suds is a sign of a good cleanser. Those suds are actually a sign that the skin product have harsh ingredients. They actually strip the lipids from the skin! Cleansing oils or those with fatty acids should be used instead. LOL! I’m suddenly reminded of the SUDS episode of Spongebob — for him SUDS is a disease. Hehe. XD

2. Not using a retonoid. Retionol is a form of Vitamin A. It is the only topical ingredient proven to minimize lines and wrinkles. Once we hit 30, it is recommended to see a dermatologist to know what kind of skin care products one should use.

3. Spending too much on skin care. Admit it, we’re always enticed by nice packaging, bundles and freebies. Drugstores in most countries are packed with a lot of great skin products, it would be nice to start looking there. Unfortunately, our local drug store doesn’t carry much brands so I’m stuck with department store brands.

4. Getting facials. I was surprised with this. Facials can actually worsen break-outs?! Probably because of the products used. My facialist uses Obagi and Clarins, and I never had a problem. Except, I don’t like the dry skin scrapping part. It actually make my skin feel thicker than usual. I have facials like twice a year only. I guess having it too often is already harmful.

5. Washing your face at the wrong time. I just found out about this, that I have to wash my face after I rinse my hair. I usually wash my face before, after or while taking a bath — no definite time. Hair products have harmful ingredients and may cause break-outs.

6. Not using sunscreen everyday. Every day! Sunscreen is very important. It’s not just a thing for the beach, but a daily essential.

Cellulite! Most women are haunted by it! Yes, even thin women!

It’s a skin condition that makes the skin dimpled or look like orange peels. It’s caused by large fat cells that pulls the skin thus creating the dimples. The usual problem areas are the stomach, thighs and buttocks.

Many products and medical procedures have been developed to address this problem. Since most women are afraid of undergoing painful and expensive medical treatments, they’d rather buy products that can aid in their problem areas. Slow results, cheap and safe!
