Having beautiful skin is the dream of most women. It is also a reflection of the health and self-care of women. However, not everyone has the desired beautiful skin due to various reasons, sometimes due to different damages and rapid aging. Here are some basic habits that many women have when taking care of their skin.
Forgetting to apply sunscreen
Sunscreen is the first barrier to protect the skincare layer. It is widely known that UVA is the “devil” that can attack the dermis, destroy collagen structure, and cause issues such as pigmentation, dark spots, and aging. UVB rays can cause sunburn, redness, darken the skin tone significantly and pose a risk of skin cancer.
Once the skin is damaged, it is challenging to restore it. Using sunscreen is like creating a shield to protect the skin.
Underestimating fine dust
For a long time, fine dust has been known for its harmful effects on the respiratory system. However, few people realize that fine dust also silently damages the skin like UV rays.
The invisible fine dust particles that cannot be seen by the naked eye gradually infiltrate the skin, along with excess oil, causing clogged pores and resulting in inflammation.
Inadequate cleansing
Cleansing is the first step in a skincare routine, but it is often underestimated or not done correctly. You need to remember that the skin should be cleansed within 1-2 minutes using a facial cleanser to remove excess oil, impurities, control bacteria, and inflammation. However, if you cleanse your skin excessively with high pH cleansers, the skin may lose its natural moisture, leading to peeling.
Late nights and sugary foods
Taking care of the skin through a healthy diet and lifestyle is extremely important. If you neglect your skin and frequently stay up late or consume a lot of sugary foods, the consequences will become evident within a short period.
For example, staying up late can cause dry and dull skin due to the process of detoxification and metabolic disruption. Sweet and oily foods can cause heat and acne formation, and even reduce collagen production, causing premature aging.
The skin is naturally delicate and needs to be nurtured and protected, so women need to always set basic skincare principles. While daily habits such as cleansing the face, getting enough sleep, and maintaining a healthy diet are things we can actively do, we cannot avoid UV rays and fine dust as they are unavoidable factors.
- Applying sunscreen: Sunscreen protects the skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays, which can cause long-term damage and aging.
- Awareness of fine dust: Fine dust particles, similar to UV rays, can infiltrate the skin and cause inflammation and clogged pores.
- Proper cleansing: Cleansing the skin correctly is essential to remove excess oil, impurities, and bacteria. However, over-cleansing can strip the skin of its natural moisture.
- Healthy lifestyle: Late nights and a diet high in sugar can lead to dry skin, acne, and reduced collagen production, resulting in premature aging.
