Mistakes in daily care of your complexion

What you shouldn't do if you want a clear, healthy complexion

To care for your physical appearance you don't need just cosmetic products. There are mistakes that you can do without even knowing it. Did you know that sleep is important for a healthy and good looking complexion ? It is important how, in what position you sleep, or that when you wash your face the water temperature is also important? Some small details can have a huge effect on the look of your complexion.

  • Sleeping with makeup on your face is not considered healthy! Regenerative processes in the skin are more intense at night and so it is essential that the skin is cleaned up before going to sleep. Otherwise, various adverse effects may occur such as blemishes, acne, excess sebum, a matte finish or dry skin.
  • To get more sleep on one side of the face than on the other. During sleep it is impossible to control which side of the face you sleep on, but you can at least take care not to sleep too often on the same side, pointing out to avoid wrinkles. Also, choose a softer pillow, that is made of a smooth fabric.
  • Washing with hot water. Cleaning the skin of various residues that gather during the day, after exposure to many factors, it is a good thing, but if you use hot water you will do more harm than good. This is because water has a temperature high enough to cause broken capillaries on the face.Capillary walls are very thin and elastic and therefore they are so sensitive to temperature. It is best to use warm water or even cold water that will revitalize the tissues.
  • Rubbing the skin around your eyes
  • The skin around the eyes is the thinnest on the face and most sensitive, especially as it has sebaceous glands. Therefore, the more you rub the skin over the area, the skin stretches even more. So you should avoid rubbing your eyes after you wake up and not press too hard when you're cleansing your complexion.
  • Using too much face cream Wanting to make things as good as possible, you might use too much face cream. In this case, the skin can not absorb all the product, as skin cells will not be able to breathe properly and the result will be clog pores.
