Common Skin Care Mistakes



Common Skin Care Mistakes  skin care mistakes generalSkin care Mistake 1. You think you can hydrate your skin simply with water.
It may seem simply but actually water contains large amounts of salt which may easily settle on the surface of your skin leading to the opposite effect – to dry the skin. If you want to hydrate your skin you should use thermal sprays as they have the best hydrating action. Thermal water contains minerals and elements which are useful for your skin -  it moisturizes and soothes the skin, preventing it from feeling tight and dry. Recent clinical research show that the mineral-rich water fortifies the skin, restores the pH balance and protects the skin against external aggressors like pollutionn for example. Applying thermal water in the form of a spray is easy and simple – spray it on the skin and after a minute wipe your skin dry.

Skin care Mistake 2. You think you can use your friend’s or mother’s skin care products.

Yes, you can use these products but only if they are appropriate for your skin type. Using the wrong skin care products is the most common skin care mistake. A recent research show that 64 percent of the women do not know what exactly is their skin type as well as that 37 percent of the teenagers use the wrong skincare and makeup products. For example if your skin feels tight and dry in the morning and during the day it simply means that your skin is dry; if you are prone to sudden rashes and burns it means your skin might be sensitive; if your skin appears too oily and greasy your skin may be mixed or oily.

Skin care Mistake 3. You think you can nourish your skin by applying Vitamin E ampoule.

It is true that vitamin E has excellent nourishing and moisturizing properties but when it is applied in the form of oil solution it may seriously irritate your skin and cause the appearance of rashes and small dark spots. Vitamin E added to lotions, creams, and other skin care products, as well as taken orally, plays a role in the anti-aging of skin. It helps skin look younger by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, reduce the risk of sun damage to cells as well as reduce the production of cancer-causing cells  but you should remember that the concentration of the ampoule should not be more than 5 % otherwise it may cause serious side effects.


Skin care Mistake 4. You think all of the essential oils are harmful for oily skin.

Absolutely wrong. Only the mineral oils may clog the pores and cause irritation to the skin. Almost 78 percent of the skin care products contain essential oils which have different field of acting – one hydrate the skin; others nourish the skin making it look younger and cleaner. For example jojoba oil, olive oil, aloe vera are recommended for those women with combination or oily skin.

Skin care Mistake 5. You thing that the scrub with natural particles is better than the ones with synthetic granules.

Just the opposite. The edges of the synthetic particles have been processed and they won’t cause trauma to your skin. Limit the usage of  sea salt only form your knees, heels, elbows but never exfoliate your skin or neck with sea salt.
