Don’t Buy These Skincare Products
What Dermatologist Says About These “Bullshit” Skincare
Skincare is the most important and essential routine that we all do. Taking care of our skin and maintain our healthiness of it is one of the ways to love ourselves.
Skincare products are now growing rapidly and becoming a trend in almost all social media. A lot of skincare companies or brands tried to follow the trend and keep releasing new products to suit the customer’s needs.
Then this leads to a lot of people's misconceptions. They thought that more products are more beneficial, healthier and more make our skin is looking like glass. But is NOT TRUE! More is not More, people
Skincare Products That You Don’t Need
Toner
Toner was actually not the primary skincare we needed. According to Dr. Shereene Idris, a board-certified dermatologist, through her youtube video said that toner is an unnecessary part of your skincare routine. There is no specific and correct description of what toner is.
Although a lot of brands claim their product with so many benefits, if you look at the ingredients it doesn’t contain the correct ingredients that what was claims in the product. Besides you can find those ingredients that you need in other products that actually necessary in your skincare routine.
Sheet Mask
A sheet mask is so popular and used by a lot of people because it is very easy and convenient to use. But I recommend you avoid the use of sheet masks. Why? Because the use of sheet paper in large amount is not good for our environment. This type of skincare is not eco-friendly. Imagine how big the impact it to the environment compared to the impact on our skin which does not really beneficial to our skin
Scrubs/Lip Scrub
Scrubs are very abrassive and can cause micro-tears that can over time cause inflammation which actually can worsen signs of aging and the quality of your skin. You should avoid them if you don’t want any problem with your skin because it is unnecessary to your skin
The same goes for the lip scrub. Our skin has different layers and what happened when we scrubbing the top layer, you opening it up for the next layer that might pick up and cause a rugged edge. And you’re going to scrub that layer and going to cause another, so it’s never going to evenly smooth the surface.
Pore Strips
A pore strip is extremely abrasive, it is getting rid of the most superficial aspect of our pore. But it is normal to have them because our body secretes oils and renews them every 28 days. This is where we need to build upon the most superficial aspect and deeper within our pores. If we use pore strips, the more you pull on these pores the more you pop out the most superficial kind of micro plug that is in your pore and making them bigger over time.
By choosing good solid skincare, it can minimize the appearance of your pores over time. There's is now such instant gratification to give any sort of benefit for our skin.
Facial Rollers
Face rollers out there was claimed that it has powers to promote positivity and serenity, well is there a study to prove that?
Then there is claimed about it can help the absorption and effectiveness of our skincare. This is also a little too much and there is no proof about it.
It also claimed to toned facial muscles. But every day we speak with a lot of expressions which requires us to use the muscle face and using this constantly is not going to tone any muscles to our faces.
But face rollers still has some benefits
The main benefit of this roller is when you wake up in the morning, it can reduce the puffiness of your face or if you are doing a procedure like sculpture, which requires you to massage your face to stimulate the sculpture, face rollers can be helpful.
