Owners of dry and thin skin often make mistakes in care, which over time can lead to serious problems - early wrinkles, the appearance of age spots. How can you avoid this so that your skin looks healthy, radiant and beautiful?
1. Use a moisturizer instead of a night cream
Everyone knows that the skin needs hydration 24 hours a day. To achieve a good result, you should apply a rich nourishing cream to your skin before going to bed (marked as night cream if you are over 25), and after washing your face in the morning, apply a moisturizer (marked as daytime).
If the skin is peeling, you feel tight, then additionally apply natural oils (coconut). It is recommended to apply them in the evening, you can directly on top of nighttime products.
Please note that up to 25 years old cosmetologists are allowed to use universal creams without breaking them into night and day, but after 25 years it is advisable to use a cream according to skin type. Night cream should not be applied during the day - it does not protect the skin from UV rays.
2. Apply a retinol cream during the day
Creams with vitamin A have a thick base, you should not use them under foundation - they do not protect the skin from UV exposure. Read, how to properly apply cosmetics with retinol.
3. Be careful with exfoliation
Many people think that peeling will help to cope with flaking, but this is not the case. After applying the scrub, the skin becomes irritated and sensitive. Use a gentle, non-traumatic thermal water scrub once a week at most. Ideal for dry skin is a product based on BHA and AHA acids. It works delicately and perfectly removes keratinized particles without disturbing the water-fat membrane.
4. Don't give up your tonic
Choose a toner for your skin type, since you should not completely abandon this product, it additionally moisturizes and normalizes the pH.
Do not use tonics containing alcohol. Only normal skin perfectly tolerates such cosmetics, but dry (and oily) after using them becomes more sensitive, the protective properties of the skin decrease.
5. Wrong make-up removal
Make-up removal consists of 3 stages: we remove cosmetics with cleansing milk (hydrophilic oil), wash with foam for dry skin and always tone up. It's good if you have toner and cleanser from the same manufacturer to complement each other.
6. Do not overdo it with additional care procedures
We are talking about masks with which we love to pamper the skin - some of them heal, whiten, act on pores, cleanse, and further dehydrate and degrease the skin. Give preference to masks that additionally nourish, moisturize, smooth.
7. Give up matting cosmetics
Liquid foundations, highlighters, cream blushers are the best choice for dry skin. But dry ones will only emphasize all the shortcomings. Make a choice in favor of bb-cream. Read on the topic: absolutely impossible in the summer, 5 gross mistakes in facial skin care.
