Your skin is the canvas, on which everything else is applied. If you have a rough, bumpy canvas it’s going to show through, no matter how much you try to cover it up. It is important that we know how to properly take care of our skin in order to always look and feel our best. There are many thing that we do on a daily basis to our skin, that we just don’t realize is bad.
Today we are going to go over the many things you routinely do, that ruin your skin.
Are You Guilty of Harming Your Skin?
1. Dolled Up Workout
Wearing makeup at the gym may make you feel more confident at the moment, but it will have you hiding your face later. Working out with makeup on causes excess oils to build up on the skin, putting your skin at risk for clogged pores. Always workout with a clean face, or take off your makeup as soon as you arrive at the gym.
2. Picking on Scars
Many people think that if they pick at their scars, they will eventually disappear. This is untrue. In fact picking at scabs or scars on the skin will result in a worsened, and longer lasting scar.
3. Neglecting the Neck and Chest
Did you know that the skin on your neck and chest are just as delicate as the skin on your face? Most people don’t. For this reason, these areas are commonly ignored. In reality, and moisturizer, cleanser, anti aging serum, etc. that you apply to your face, should be applied to the neck and chest.
4. Over Exfoliating
Some of us just don’t know when to say, when! Exfoliation is a wonderful treatment to provide to your skin every so often, but too much can lead to damage. Over-exfoliating causes irritation, flaking, and sensitivity. Make sure you are using a gentle cleanser on a regular basis, and make exfoliating a special occasion.
5. Sleeping Beauty
By this we mean sleeping with your makeup on. No matter how worn out you are after a long day, sleep can wait another 5 minutes. Take the time to wash away makeup, oil, dirt, and other pollutants your skin is exposed to throughout the day.
6. Straws, Smoking and Bubble Gum
Everyone knows that cigarettes lead to wrinkles and creases around the mouth. What most people don’t know is that gum and drinking from straws causes the same issues. Save the skin around this sensitive area by breaking these habits.
