When it’s time to choose your skincare routine, the number of options can be overwhelming. There are so many new types of products these days that building a routine can become a confusing chore.
Women with great skin know that what you don’t use is just as important as what you do. If you want to live with beautiful skin without guessing games, check out these products you should avoid at all costs!
Harsh Exfoliants
Over time, dead skin cells and debris can cover your top layer of skin causing dullness. If untreated, it can lead to redness, infection, and even accelerated aging. Often women will reach for an exfoliant when their skin becomes dull – but if it’s too harsh it can lead to microtears in your skin. These tiny tears are invisible to the eye but can make sagging and wrinkles worse than ever if you are being too rough.
Instead of taking a chance with the health of your skin, opt for using gentle exfoliants to clear away dead skin cells and dullness. One of the most effective and gentle ways to exfoliate is by using an oil cleanser. While you may not feel any abrasion on your skin from it, it works like a magnet to pull out debris and dirt in your pores. It will also gently remove any dead skin or buildup which leads to dull skin so you can keep your face glowing and your confidence high!
Heavy Eye Creams
When you look at eye cream and it looks super hydrating, it can give the illusion that it will work better. The reality is that thick eye creams often don’t work well because they are too thick to penetrate your skin. The eye area is some of the thinnest and most delicate skin on your whole body, so it’s not able to allow the super thick molecules of cream to absorb. You’ll be left wasting money on a cream that sits on the surface and does little to reverse signs of aging and brighten eyes.
When dealing with caring for your eyes, the thinner the product the better. That’s why we’ve formulated our Eye Recovery Serum to be thin in texture but effective at hydrating the skin. Applying even the smallest amount both morning and night can help you reverse sagging eyelids, dark bags, and crows feet. Women with great skin never skimp on their eye routine and they know the true power of a great eye serum!
Makeup Remover Cloths
We all live busy lives and sometimes we will compromise integrity for convenience. The perfect example of this is the rising trend of single-use face wipes. Aside from being awful for the planet, these wipes can be dangerous for the health of your skin. These cloths don’t clean your face well and can just redistribute dirt and oil from around your face. In fact, skincare experts all agree that it’s the kind of product you should only use as a last resort when traveling or camping.
Using makeup wipes may be quick and easy, but they can cause long-term damage and accelerated again. Instead, opt for an oil cleanser which can do twice the job of cleansing cloths in half the time. Blends of powerful oils work to clear pores and remove makeup while leaving skin with a dewy finish. It may not be as quick as makeup wipes but it will clean, tone, and hydrate your skin in one simple step!
