The passage of time is most evident on everyone’s face. Here are five bad habits that are harmful to your skin and we should stay away from them.
Bad habit 1: Never wearing sunscreen when going out
Ultraviolet rays can cause photoaging. To avoid these phenomena caused by photoaging, you must protect yourself from the sun. Especially in summer, when you go out, wear a hat, sunglasses, long sleeves and long pants, and apply sunscreen to better prevent ultraviolet rays.
Note that sunscreen must be applied enough, thick enough, and frequently for the effect to be good enough.
Bad Habit 2: Washing your face without cleansing products
Many people are afraid of irritation and think that washing the face with water is enough. In fact, the proper use of cleaning products can better remove dirt on the surface of the skin.
If the skin is really sensitive, you can choose a facial cleanser with less foam, weaker oil removal ability or milky to wash your face.
In addition, excessive face washing will not make the face cleaner, but will destroy the water and oil balance of the skin barrier. The skin has a “saturated sebum amount”, which means that when the sebum reaches a certain amount and expands to a certain thickness on the surface of the skin, the sebum secretion slows down or stops. If you wash your face frequently, the sebaceous glands will still quickly excrete oil to reach the saturated sebum amount.
Bad Habit 3: Put fruits, vegetables and milk on your face at will
Many people think that plants are “purely natural” and rich in nutrients, so they like to apply cucumbers, potatoes, lemons, milk, etc. directly on their faces.
These are ineffective for the skin, and many common allergens are hidden in these things. Applying them directly on the face is more likely to cause problems.
Bad Habit 4: Squeeze pimples
First, the risk of local infection is high, and even retrograde intracranial infection may occur in the dangerous triangle area.Second, it is easy to leave acne marks, scars, and pits.
Bad habit 5: Eating sweets every day
A high-sugar diet will increase the insulin concentration in the serum, stimulate the proliferation of fat cells and fat synthesis, and thus increase the concentration of androgen. Once the androgen level is too high, the oil secretion will be particularly strong. Therefore, eating too much sweets will not only make people fat, but also increase oil secretion and make acne worse.
