Bad skin care habits that cause dry skin
Are you worried that your skin always feels dry even though you try to moisturize it every day? That dryness may actually be “self-inflicted dry skin” caused by incorrect skin care habits. Let’s take a look at common negative behaviors that reduce the barrier function that protects skin’s moisture.
The most common problem is “too much washing.” If you use cleansers or face washes that are too strong and wash your face with hot water (over 35 degrees Celsius), all the sebum and moisturizing ingredients (such as NMF) that your skin needs will be completely washed away. In addition, the friction of scrubbing your face with a towel after washing your face can damage the stratum corneum, making it easier for moisture to escape. If you have any questions, please review them immediately starting today.
3 steps for proper moisturizing care
We will introduce the correct moisturizing care to bring out the skin’s natural moisturizing power and prevent dryness.
1. Removal care is “gentle and quick” When cleansing or washing your face, the golden rule is to minimize friction. Wash your face with plenty of foam, then rinse with lukewarm water (about 32 to 34 degrees). After washing your face, towel dry it by gently pressing it with a clean towel to absorb moisture.
2. Golden balance of water and oil After washing your face, moisture evaporates from your unprotected skin in no time. Start your skin care routine within 3 minutes. First, apply plenty of moisture with lotion, but this alone will evaporate. It is important to always cover the oil with emulsion or cream. If you are particularly concerned about dryness, using a serum or cream that contains ceramide, the main component of intercellular lipids, will dramatically improve your skin’s barrier function.
3. Don’t forget to “moisturize” during the day Your skin is at risk of drying out not only when you apply your skin in the morning, but also during the day when you spend time indoors with an air conditioner. Keep a mist-type lotion that can be used over makeup or a stick-type beauty serum that can be used to target dryness around the eyes and mouth in your pouch, and get into the habit of ``adding moisture’’ before your skin feels dry. A series of correct moisturizers will foster unwaveringly moisturized skin.
