“Radiation passes through the clouds and contributes to the appearance of spots and wrinkles. The absence of visible sun does not mean that protection is unnecessary. Choose a indicated cosmetic that also has an UVA protection symbol, for example.”
On the other hand, it may be using during these autumn months a cream with retinol i didn't use it before. They explain that it is important to know how to use these types of creams to avoid skin problems.
“If the skin is leaking after using retinol, it is a sign that the treatment is working. However, it may not be so. It could happen due to irritation. Other symptoms that may occur include redness and burning. In these cases, it is best to stop the use.”
There is still a mistake many people make with the lipsticks to protect the lips from cold. Experts from Czymy Etykiety explain that use may eventually cause dependency. If dry lips persist despite the use of lipstick, the culprit may simply be a specific product that causes irritation.”
The mistake you're probably making after washing your face
To have healthy skin is not enough to buy and use amazing skincare products. You have to bet on a balanced diet, stay hydrated and take some care. For example, Emmanuel Madas, a dermatologist, quoted in BestLife, reveals that many people make a serious mistake after washing their faces.
The expert warns that he should never “dry his face in an aggressive way”. Ideally you have to clean your face calmly, without rubbing, with “a soft towel” and clean. It is important to take this care to “avoid damage and irritation” on the skin, the doctor explains.
Anna Chacon, another dermatologist, adds that she should never use the bath towel to dry her face. It also explains that the towel may be dirtier than it looks with “dust, makeup, oil and dead skin cells”. “This leads to an increased probability of acting as breeding sites for bacteria that obstruct pores.”
In addition, “bath towels are much rougher than face towels, so they can cause irritation and skin damage,” warns Cheryl Rosen, a dermatologist.
