In recent years, the world of beauty has seen a real explosion of skincare trends. However, many of these trends are not only ineffective, but can also harm your skin. Here are some of the most common skincare tips you should avoid:
-
Mechanical exfoliation with abrasive products : Exfoliation is an important part of skincare, as it helps remove dead skin cells and reveal brighter, smoother skin. However, mechanical exfoliation can often, if not done correctly, damage the skin, causing dryness, irritation and even scarring.
✅ In general, it is best to exfoliate your skin once or twice a week and use a gentle chemical exfoliant.
-
Using pure essential oils : Essential oils have become very popular in recent years due to their healing and soothing properties. However, using pure essential oils on your skin can be harmful. Pure essential oils are very concentrated and can cause irritation, burning and rashes. Additionally, some essential oils are photosensitizers, meaning they can cause skin damage when exposed to the sun.
✅ Choose your favorite essential oils in products with complete and safe formulations for your skin.
-
Using DIY Masks : DIY masks are always quite a hit online, as many people believe they are a cheap and effective skincare solution. However, many DIY masks can actually damage your skin, causing irritation, dryness, or can clog your pores, resulting in pimples or blackheads. Unsafe use of natural ingredients in DIY masks can also cause allergic reactions.
✅ Always choose masks suited to your skin type and use them once or twice a week for the best results!
In summary, it is important to pay attention to the skincare trends that we find on social media and make sure to use products that are delicate and not too harsh on the skin. Avoiding mechanical exfoliation with abrasive exfoliants, using pure essential oils on your skin, and DIY masks can help keep your skin healthy and glowing.
