Good hydration is extremely important for he althy, glowing and youthful skin. Hydration and moisturizing are an indispensable part of skin care. Moisturizers help skin look vibrant and nourished. In addition, moisturizers create a protective barrier between the skin and the external environment and its harmful influences, causing premature aging and deterioration of the skin. Therefore, hydration is a skin care step that should not be missed.
However, a number of mistakes can be made with hydrating products. The first of them and the most common is choosing the wrong product.
Not all moisturizers are the same and not all are suitable for every skin type. Different skin types require the use of the appropriate moisturizing product. This makes choosing a moisturizer a daunting task.
Oily skin usually needs a lighter moisturizer with a lighter and lighter texture that won't further clog pores or aggravate already oily, prone skin to increased secretion of sebum. If you choose a heavy moisturizer, it can lead to clogged pores, the appearance of acne or the worsening of existing acne, blackheads, irritations.
To be sure which moisturizer is right for you, consult a dermatologist who can determine your skin type and condition and recommend the best products for you.
In most cases, a mixed skin type is observed, in which different areas of the skin have a different structure. The most common type of oiliness is in the T-zone around the nose, forehead and chin. You may need to use different products for each area depending on the type of oiliness.
Always do a test beforehand to make sure the product you choose will not cause any reaction when used. Observe the area you applied the product to for at least 24 hours to see how the skin reacts to the product.
What is the correct order of applying products to the skin?
In most cases, skin care needs to include more than one product. Therefore, their application sequence is key to skin he alth. Here, too, many mistakes are possible, which reduce the effectiveness of the products due to the wrong sequence of application. In addition, improperly arranging the products one after the other can also harm the skin.
If you use more than one product in your skincare routine, arrange them in the correct order to get the most benefits from them.
In general, when applying multiple skin care products, you should start with the lightest and work your way up to those with a heavier texture. For example, if you have acne and oily skin, and you are using an acne medicinal product, the sequence of application of the products should be: first wash the skin, then apply the medicinal product, moisturiser, and finally apply a sunscreen product.
It should be noted that moisturizing products work best when applied to slightly damp skin. In this way, they contribute to the retention of natural moisture in the skin, supplementing it through their formula containing hydrating elements.
It is also important to structure your skin care, divided into day and night care. This way, your skin will get the most out of the care you give it.
