The Do's and Don't(s) Of skincare; How to properly take care of your skin

[A Former User]

here are some general do’s and don’ts of skincare:

Do’s:

• Do cleanse your skin twice a day, once in the morning and again at night before bedtime to remove dirt, oil, and makeup.
• Do use products that are appropriate for your skin type (oily, dry, combination, sensitive).
• Do moisturize daily to keep your skin hydrated and healthy-looking.
• Do wear sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 every day to protect against harmful UV rays.
• Do exfoliate regularly to remove dead skin cells and reveal brighter, smoother skin.
• Do stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day.
• Do get enough sleep each night, as lack of sleep can lead to dull, tired-looking skin.
• Do be gentle when cleansing and applying skincare products, avoiding rough scrubbing or pulling on the skin.
• Do perform regular facial massages to improve blood flow and promote collagen production.
• Do consult with a dermatologist if you have any concerns about your skin or if you experience persistent issues like acne or rosacea.

Don’ts:

The bolded ones are Important!!

• Don’t go to bed without removing your makeup, as this can clog pores and lead to breakouts.
• Don’t use hot water when washing your face, as it can strip your skin of its natural oils and cause irritation.
• Don’t pick or squeeze pimples, as this can lead to scarring and infection.
• Don’t use expired skincare products, as they may not be effective and could potentially harm your skin.
• Don’t neglect your neck and chest area when applying skincare products, as these areas also need moisture and protection.
• Don’t smoke or expose yourself to secondhand smoke, as both can damage your skin and accelerate aging.
• Don’t overdo it with skincare products, as using too many at once can irritate your skin and make it difficult to determine which product is causing a reaction.
• Don’t skip meals or eat unhealthy foods, as a balanced diet is essential for maintaining healthy skin.
• Don’t spend too much time in the sun or tanning beds, as excessive exposure to UV rays can cause premature aging, wrinkles, and skin cancer.
• Don’t ignore changes in your skin, such as new moles or spots, as early detection is key to treating potential skin problems.
• Don’t think burning/Irritation means it’s working!!!

Here are some products and Skincare tips that are dermatologist approved, and good for gentle/Acne prone skin.

@finneass I try to help with this kind of stuff too, Because most of the people here are teens, and Teens are prone to acne no matter who you are, nobody got perfect skin

@Kumi-Hoshi teens are definitely acne prone, it all depends on skin type, hormones, and the right skincare can help your skin be at its best possible
