Facial Skin: 5 Products Not To Use

Since not all skin types are the same, it is important that we use products that are suitable for our skin type. We should also avoid those that contain alcohol.

Many factors influence the condition of the skin and especially the skin of the face, either positively or negatively. This is the case for climate, diet, hydration, lifestyle and beauty products.

The skin of the face and neck is very delicate. We are then more likely to suffer from a skin problem in these areas.

Many dermatologists and cosmetologists suggest that certain products can affect the skin of the face because they cause adverse reactions like dryness, acne, and other skin problems.

Find out in more detail here which products you should never use on the skin of the face. They are five in number.

1. Vinegar should not be used on the skin of the face

There are beauty tips that recommend using vinegar to correct acne or yeast problems. However, we must avoid applying vinegar to the skin, because the acetic acid present in the vinegar can damage it and dry it out.

If you have sensitive skin, open wounds, cuts or burns, avoid this product at all costs.

If you absolutely want to use this product on the skin, it is advisable to dilute it in equal parts water. But ideally, forgo using this product on the face.

If you feel a small burn when you apply it, immediately suspend the application.

2. Vegetable butter

Many skin care products contain vegetable butter to nourish and hydrate  the skin.

David Colbert, a dermatologist from New York City, says using vegetable butter can have unwanted effects on the skin .

However, the specialist points out that this product is heavy on the skin of the face, since it clogs the pores and promotes the appearance of acne.

3. Hair sprays and shampoo

An old trick for setting makeup is to use hair sprays on the face. However, this only dries up the skin, because these products contain a lot of hairspray and alcohol, which is very bad for the skin.

It’s the same thing that happens when some of us use shampoo to wash our faces. These products contain chemical ingredients which are unsuitable for the skin. This causes irritation and dryness.

4.Crms containing retinol

The retinol is an ingredient presented as an anti-acne and anti-aging. However, its use should be avoided, because it refines the skin and makes it more sensitive.

In addition, in some cases, it has been verified that this product can cause redness on the skin, or even rashes.

5. Pure vitamin E

It is certain that vitamin E is good for our organism, which is why it is a very present ingredient in cosmetics.

However, one should avoid using the oil directly on the skin, as it can clog the pores and trigger acne breakouts.

Burning, swelling and / or reddening of the skin has also been observed after using this oil.

Some recommendations …

• Remember that not all skin types react the same to different products. It is therefore preferable to read the instructions. Consider testing the product on a part of the body to observe the reaction.
• Before you buy any product, make sure it doesn’t contain alcohol or any compound that would affect your skin, such as retinol.
• There are different types of skin and it is important to learn how to identify them. Dermatologists can give you advice on the best products for your skin.
• Many natural ingredients moisturize and effectively care for the skin. If you want to avoid expensive, chemical creams on the market, go for natural alternatives.
