Skin Care Do's and Don'ts
Skin care is very important not only for looking beautiful but also for maintaining a healthy skin structure and reducing the effects of aging. However, many people unknowingly acquire habits that can harm their skin. In this article, we explain in detail the dos and don'ts of skin care.
✅ Things to Do
1. Know Your Skin Type
Every skin type is different: dry, oily, combination, sensitive or normal. Using products that are suitable for your skin type will ensure that your care is effective. Choosing the wrong product can cause skin irritation, dryness or acne.
2. Cleanse Twice a Day
Cleansing your skin twice a day, morning and evening, purifies pores and removes dirt, oil and makeup residue that has accumulated on the skin. This reduces the formation of acne and blackheads.
3. Don't Neglect Moisturizing
Every skin type needs moisture. Even oily skin! Moisturizing your skin regularly strengthens its barrier structure and provides a softer, more supple appearance.
4. Sunscreen Use is a Must
The sun's harmful UV rays cause premature aging and skin blemishes, which is why it's so important to use a sunscreen with SPF every day, 12 months of the year.
5. Regular Peeling Application
Peeling done 1-2 times a week removes dead skin cells, evens out skin tone and allows care products to penetrate the skin better.
6. Use Serums and Active Ingredients
Active ingredients such as Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide provide targeted care for the skin. Adding the right serum to your routine according to your needs supports skin health.
❌ What Not to Do
1. Over-washing the skin
Washing multiple times a day with harsh cleansers disrupts the skin's natural oil balance, which can lead to dryness, sensitivity, and irritation.
2. Mixing Products
Applying all the trendy ingredients at the same time can tire your skin. Especially strong ingredients like retinol, AHA/BHA and vitamin C can cause irritation when used together.
3. Squeezing Pimples
Squeezing pimples with your hands increases the risk of infection and can cause scarring. Instead, it is necessary to treat them with appropriate ingredients.
4. Skipping Sunscreen
The weather being cloudy or being indoors does not make sunscreen unnecessary. UV rays can even pass through clouds and glass.
5. Using Products That Are Not Suitable For Your Skin Type
Using oil-based products on oily skin and products containing alcohol on dry skin can increase skin problems.
6. Staying Up With Makeup Before Sleeping
Sleeping with makeup on causes pores to become clogged, the skin to not be able to breathe, and skin health to deteriorate in the long run.
Conclusion
Skin care is a matter of routine and care. When you apply what needs to be done correctly and avoid mistakes, you can notice the change in your skin in a short time. Remember; beautiful skin is the reflection of healthy skin.
