As young people, skincare is an integral part of our daily lives. But do we really understand how to do skincare properly?In this article, we'll debunk some common skincare myths to help you take better care of your skin.
Myth 1: Over-cleaning.
Many young people believe that their skin can only be kept healthy by cleansing thoroughly, so they choose to use over-cleansing products or wash their faces frequently. However, doing so can actually strip the skin of its natural oils, resulting in dryness, redness, or allergies. The correct way is to choose a gentle cleanser, wash your face once a day in the morning and once in the evening, and if you wear makeup during the day, remove it thoroughly at night.
Myth 2: Frequent exfoliation.
Exfoliation can help remove dead skin cells and leave skin looking smoother and more refined. However, over-exfoliation can disrupt the skin's protective barrier, resulting in sensitive, red, swollen skin. It is recommended to exfoliate once a week, choose a gentle exfoliator, and avoid harsh products such as scrubs or hard cleansing brushes.
Myth 3: Blindly using skin care products.
There are many skincare products on the market for different skin concerns, but not all products are suitable for everyone. If you use a product that is not suitable for you, it will not improve your skin problems, but may worsen your symptoms. It is recommended to understand your skin type and the problems you need to solve before choosing skin care products, and choose the right products for you.
Myth 4: Ignore sun protection.
Sun protection is one of the most important steps to protect your skin and prevent UV rays from damaging it. But many young people tend to ignore this and think that sun protection is only needed in summer. In fact, UV damage to the skin is the result of long-term accumulation, and it is necessary to take care of sun protection even on cloudy days or in winter. It is advisable to wear sunscreen every day and avoid direct exposure to the sun when the sun is strong.
In short, young people should pay more attention to their skin health and avoid falling into these skincare pitfalls. Only with proper skincare can you keep your skin healthy and beautiful. Pay attention to the 100 Jiahao of the Risk Control Center of the China Integration Association and appreciate the beauty you don't know.
