Clear Skin 

In our pursuit for clear, youthful-looking skin, we spend more money on skincare products than we'd like to admit. Even if beauty aficionados like us would argue that there's no harm in it, what hurts the most is when we wind up harming our skin despite utilising those expensive serums and moisturisers. Sometimes it's due to typical lifestyle issues like stress and hormone imbalance, while other times it's due to inadvertently making basic skincare mistakes.  

Taking too little time to double cleanse 

You may be aware of the concept of double cleansing, but you choose to avoid it because it needs a little more effort. Not only would not fully washing your face create breakouts, but it will also hasten the ageing process. This is because the dirt and impurities that accumulate on your face over the day contain free radicals, which can develop wrinkles and fine lines by disrupting your natural elastin. Your normal one-step cleanser, on the other hand, is incapable of properly cleansing your face.  

The oil-based cleanser dissolves not only makeup but also all oil-based pollutants, sunscreens, and silicones during double cleansing. In the second phase, a water-based cleanser removes excess sweat and sebum from your face. This procedure isn't unique to Korea; in fact, many dermatologists suggest it.  

Summertime is the only time I need sunscreen ?

The purpose of a sunscreen is to prevent tan, hyperpigmentation, and premature ageing, among other things. It works to prevent skin cancer, which is a severe issue. So, whether it's raining, snowing, or dazzling, choose to apply sunscreen every single day to avoid becoming a victim. Simply put, the season and weather should not be used to determine whether or not you should use sunscreen.  

If your skincare routine includes exfoliating elements, this product becomes even more important. Our skin becomes more susceptible and prone to solar damage when they slough off the dead skin cells. Applying sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 is a requirement. If you want to try something new, seek one that says wide spectrum protection.  

Getting rid of zits by picking or popping them 

If you pop or squeeze your zit, the bacteria in the follicles will travel to adjacent follicles, generating new zits. Furthermore, it will aggravate and damage the zits, resulting in the formation of stubborn scars and blemishes. This activity will also cause the normal healing process to be delayed. 

Using the incorrect products in the wrong order 

When it comes to applying skincare products, the general guideline is to start with the thinnest and work your way up to the thicker, creamier ones. You don't want to put your eye cream on top of your moisturiser since it won't be able to get through because the thicker consistency items always block the lighter ones. As a result, the potency of that powerful product will be decreased, and you will not achieve the desired result.   

Before heading to bed, complete your skincare routine. 

It's critical to have a good nightly skincare routine because that's when the skin refreshes and restores itself. However, it's best to finish this regimen an hour before going to bed so that the products can soak and work on your skin rather than end up on your pillowcase.  

To treat acne, you dry out your skin. 

Breakouts aren't only a problem for oily skin; they affect people of all skin types. Unfortunately, most individuals believe that the best approach to get rid of acne is to dry it out, so they end up applying harsh substances on their skin. In truth, this might irritate and make the skin more sensitive. As a result, it's best to pick a product that not only addresses the problem but also hydrates and nourishes the skin. 

Using makeup remover wipes 

Makeup wipes were a huge sensation approximately 5 years ago, but they need to be phased out immediately. They are not only bad for the environment, but they are also bad for your skin. You're mistaken if you believe your makeup wipe will remove all of the makeup off your face. In fact, you're on the verge of a breakout. Makeup wipes are good for moving makeup around but not for cleaning the skin. The wipes cause micro-tears on the face, which can irritate, sensitize, and age the skin over time. Make use of the two-cleansing procedure. Use a non-comedogenic oil like sweet almond oil or sunflower oil. 

Take Away 

Manufacturers can do everything to encourage you to buy more skincare, from advertising asking you to buy vitamin C serum to wearing charcoal masks for blackheads, all while harming your skin. Companies frequently use tiny studies on the skin conducted by scientists and use them to develop goods. The marketing strategy is a great instrument for informing you that you require treatment for your skin. Always remember: less is more, and consistency is key. You don't need the fashionable things that your favorite bloggers and celebrities' use. You'll need a nice genuine serum to keep your skin healthy and fresh. GHC has the much-needed ingredients that help your skin remain healthy and safe.
