Mistakes that make skin look older!
Everyone does them sometimes, and they usually make us look tired.
Morning and evening beauty routines are sometimes very exhausting, especially because of the handful of conflicting tips given to us daily by beauty experts. At one point, double facial cleansing is mandatory and crucial in the fight for healthy and beautiful skin, and then we can hear how skin cleansing should be avoided. Based on this, we can conclude only one thing - everyone should listen to themselves and nurture themselves in the way that suits them best.
But it is important to know that there are some mistakes that most of us make every day, and it is these mistakes that leave marks on our skin in the long run. They make your skin look dry, tired, and lifeless, and thus make your face look older. Therefore, if you are facing these problems yourself, stay with us below where we will draw your attention to the typical six mistakes in skincare, and discover how you can avoid them.
1. Forget about applying sunscreen
Whether it's raining outside or sunny, summer or winter, protecting your skin from harmful UV rays is key to preventing the premature signs of aging. Some powders and tinted creams contain a protection factor of 15, but that is not enough. UV rays penetrate clouds and even windows, causing glycation of collagen and elastin in the skin, which is why you need a cream with a high protection factor every day and in every situation.
2. Use wet wipes to remove makeup
In addition to causing unnecessary waste and endangering the planet, wet wipes also endanger the condition of your skin. Most cleansing wipes contain detergent-like chemicals and strong alcohols that remove the skin’s natural pH balance. These ingredients can cause irritation and leave the skin dry, dehydrated and sensitive. In addition, wipes do not clean the skin properly and instead only spread bacteria all over the face, which can cause more problems later. Excessive cleaning with coarse wipes can actually thin the skin and make it older. Instead of wipes, choose the right facial cleanser.
3. Apply too much powder
In addition to improper care, improper makeup can also damage the skin. The loose powder may be a great mattifying agent for the face, but at the same time, it makes the skin dry and deepens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Instead, use lighter products such as tinted creams or lighter powders that make your skin look shiny and radiant, and apply the powder only on the parts of the face where you need it most or on the parts that get oily quickly.
4. Forget to apply moisturizer
Applying a good moisturizer with the right ingredients can be a key element for healthy skin. According to experts, hydration is at the top of the list of priorities if you want your skin to look youthful, but, of course, don't forget to apply both serum and the obligatory SPF.
5. Use too dark eyeshadow
While dark eyes can be a great option for a night out, dark makeup generally makes you look older. Instead of muted, dark shades, give preference to gentle browns or similar lighter tones that will gently frame your eyes and create a more subtle, modern look. Also, dark powders and lipsticks are not desirable, for the same reason. A lip gloss and a discreet amount of blush or bronzer will suffice for a fresh, youthful look.
6. Excessive use of peels
It's no secret that excessive use of facial peels can cause redness and irritation. But liquid peels, like acids, can also cause irreparable damage if used too often. The daily use of strong peels breaks down the natural lipid barrier, which helps in the natural hydration of the upper layers of the epidermis, which can lead to varicose veins, scars, and thinning of the skin, experts warn. It is crucial to find the right formula and use it only once a week. Gentle enzyme cleansers and masks dissolve dead skin cells and promote healthier-looking skin.
