Things That Can Ruin Your Skin

There are those things that can hurt our skin but never realize that they do. Here are surefire ways to ruin your skin and even put your health on the line:

 Tanning Beds

Sure a nice tan looks great but in case you do not know yet, the World Health Organization has already classified tanning beds as one of the leading causes of cancer –for those who regularly use it at least. Using tanning beds are also a surefire way to hasten the appearance of wrinkles.

Not Using SPF Products

It doesn’t matter whether you’re going to the beach or just going out to do some errands, it is still important to use SPF daily. According to a study, using lotions and moisturizers with SPF everyday lessens sun damage. If you use lotion and put moisturizer on your face on a daily basis, you might as well get products with SPF.

Soaking Up The Sun

Baking under the sun may be a good way to get that tan you’ve been wanting to have but did you know that staying out in the sun regularly without using sunscreen can hasten ageing? Sure a vitamin D fix is needed but it is best to get this fix early in the morning and you would have to wear sunscreen still for good measure.

Not Knowing Your Skin Type

If you do not know your skin type, you are likely to be using the wrong kinds of products i.e. using a daytime moisturizer even if you have oily skin or exfoliating too much when your skin is dry.

Not Using a Retinoid Night Cream

Retinoids encourage the formation of collagen which means that it will be more difficult for you to look older since wrinkles won’t be an issue. Using a retinoid cream every night is advisable.
