Skin care and misconceptions in this regard
In this article, we mention the facts and stories about skin care.
-Continuous face washing will cure acne: You may have heard this phrase a lot, but it is better to know that constant face washing throughout the day will not help reduce acne. In fact, this causes your skin to become scratched and stripped of its essential oils, making your skin very dry and sensitive and prone to acne.
Regular exfoliation reduces excess sebum: It is a common belief that if you have oily skin, exfoliating two to three times a week will reduce excess sebum. The face may bruise the skin and cause spots or pimples.
– Pimples decrease with age: Most women think that acne happens to teenage girls and those in their twenties, when acne has nothing to do with age. Instead of these thoughts, you should be conscious about your lifestyle and choose healthy foods that detoxify your body.
– No need to use sunscreen on cloudy days: Just because it’s a cloudy day or raining, doesn’t mean you don’t need sunscreen. It is wrong to go outside at any time of the year without sunscreen. Even on cloudy days, you are exposed to the harmful rays of the sun, and if you go out without sunscreen, you will definitely get sunburned.
– Age spots are a sign of aging: Age spots or brown spots caused by sunlight can occur at any age. Like spots on the skin, freckles are not necessarily signs of aging. But these spots may appear when you are exposed to the harmful rays of the sun.
– Makeup can cause pimples: There is a general belief among women that excessive makeup can cause acne and accumulation of pigments. Although constant use of a product can be harmful, this does not happen very often. In any case, you should choose products that are suitable for your skin type.
– If you have dry skin, drink more water: It is said that if you have dry skin, drinking a lot of water will moisturize your skin, while this statement is completely wrong. Of course, drinking water makes the skin glow and detoxifies the body, but it does not necessarily moisturize the skin.
Expensive cosmetic products are better: Some people believe that expensive products and brands keep the skin healthy and problem-free for a long time. But the truth is that these products do what other products do at a cheaper price.
