9 mistakes that make your skin dry and wrinkled

Moisturizing is the most basic and important part of skin care. Be careful when you do it diligently every day. Sometimes, it may even make your skin drier. As the temperature gradually rises, your skin will become more oily. Wrong moisturizing habits must be corrected. Time is precious for us, so we should only do the correct and efficient skin care routine! Let's see if you have accidentally made the following wrong skin care habits!

Over-cleansing the skin

In the hot summer, we often have oily skin and sweat. We can't help but over-cleans our skin. In fact, this will excessively damage your stratum corneum and prevent your skin from secreting oil normally to form a protective layer. Don’t wash your face more than 2 times a day!

Over-exfoliation

Exfoliating too frequently or using several exfoliating products at the same time will make your stratum corneum thinner and thinner, and it will lose its ability to resist external damage. If you have acne, you should stop exfoliating to avoid irritating your skin.

Applying moisturizing mask for too long

Maybe you are in the mindset of not wasting it, or you forget to take off the mask after applying it, but be careful! Applying it too frequently will irritate the skin, and such behavior will cause the skin to lose moisture faster!

Replenish water without replenishing oil

If you still think that oil is thick and greasy, you are out of date. To maintain the balance of oil and water in the skin, you must replenish oil. You can add a drop of beauty oil to your skincare routine to double the moisturizing effect!

Keep applying moisturizing spray

Moisturizing spray can indeed bring temporary moisture to the skin, but it does not have any ingredients that can lock in moisture. If you rely too much on moisturizing spray, it will backfire and make the skin lose moisture faster!

Over-reliance on a certain moisturizing ingredient

Following the beauty trends, we blindly apply a popular moisturizing ingredient and forget what our skin really needs!

Only replenishes moisture without locking in moisture

Moisturizing ingredients like hyaluronic acid help the skin absorb water but cannot retain it, so it must be combined with ingredients like Vaseline and jojoba oil to truly achieve the effect of maintaining supple skin!

Apply skin care products in a wrong order

The order of using moisturizing products is very important. The ones that are easier to absorb and have a more refreshing texture should be placed first, such as: lotion -> lotion -> essence -> cream, in order to achieve the greatest maintenance effect!

Not hydrating according to skin condition

When your skin is oily, you should use a more refreshing moisturizing gel. If your skin is oily in some areas, you should use different products to improve the condition.
