Over-hydration of facial skin can lead to acne.
Dermatovenerologist and cosmetologist Marina Kartasheva warned about this.
She named the main mistakes in home skin care in a conversation with the Izvestia publication.
The Main Mistakes in Skin Care
The first common mistake is insufficient or excessive cleansing of the skin.
You should not use aggressive products. They disrupt the skin's protective barrier, causing irritation and dryness.
A mild foaming cleanser or milk is ideal, the doctor advised.
The second mistake the cosmetologist named was excessive skin moisturizing.
Over-hydration can clog the skin and lead to acne, Kartasheva explained.
The third mistake is not using sunscreen. It should be applied to the décolleté area as well.
This area, the specialist noted, is also exposed to sunlight.
Using sunscreen and moisturizers in these areas is equally important, the cosmetologist emphasized.
She also urged to follow the sequence of care: first cleanse, then apply serum and cream.
