The Worst Beauty Tips You Would Ever Hear
1 || Avoid Washing Your Face In The Morning
Many people link acne with the morning cleanse. Well, that is not true. A morning cleanse is crucial. Pillowcases tend to harbor bacteria, and realistically, changing them daily is not always feasible. Failing to cleanse your face properly in the morning, especially if you have acne, can allow bacteria to linger in your pores, potentially leading to increased inflammation.
If concerns about skin dryness or preserving your skin barrier arise, the solution lies in adjusting the type of cleanser used in the morning. Opt for a mild cream cleanser over a deep-cleansing gel to effectively eliminate bacteria while retaining essential moisture.
2 || Skipping Heat Guarantees Healthier Hair
I used to believe this until this moment. After my research and reading what experts say, it turns out that heat is not as bad as I used to think.
It turns out that the key lies in using the appropriate tools to dry your hair, as brushing it while still wet can potentially cause significant damage. Your only task now is to identify the right products and tools that complement your hair type while safeguarding it from potential harm.
One highly regarded tool for hair drying is the Dyson AirWrap. A combination of Bread Beauty Supply’s Macadamia Oil and Adwoa Beauty’s Blue Tansy Treatment Serum is great for protecting your hair from heat and as an effective pre-styling routine.
3 || Lower SPF Once Your Skin Is Used To It
If anyone told you that you can start your sunny holiday wearing SPF 50 and then reduce to a lower factor during the week, please don’t listen to them! Your skin will never get used to the sun. Do wear high SPF every single day of the year.
4 || Don’t use Glycolic Acid If You Have Black or Brown Skin
If you are blessed with melanin skin, you might have heard that glycolic acid can lead to hyperpigmentation in your case. It is a myth. No matter the tone, if your skin needs glycolic acid, then use it. The only advice is to start gradually.
5 || Use Vaseline To Restore Your Skin Barrier
Never do this, please. My mom used to tell me not to use Vaseline before heading out because it could cause a burning sensation and lead to breakouts, and she was correct. Personally, I only use Vaseline on my lips and small dry areas, never applying it all over my face.
6 || Glycolic Acid Is For Everyone
Like all ingredients, nothing works for everyone. As we always say, what works for your friend doesn’t have to work for you. If glycolic acid irritates your skin, then it is not for you. Even if you need exfoliation, you need to look for other ingredients that won’t cause irritation.
7 || Don’t Use Moisturiser For Oily Skin
We said it before, oily skin can still get dehydrated. Neglecting moisturization for oily skin prompts increased sebum production to compensate for hydration, resulting in a greasier complexion. Choose lightweight, water-based, and non-comedogenic moisturizers to uphold a healthy and radiant skin appearance.
