From cosmetics with oils to dirty laundry: dermatologists talked about skincare mistakes that cause acne

How we spoil our own skin.

Clean and healthy skin is not only the result of good genetics, but also competent care. However, even those who regularly care for their face and body can make mistakes that provoke inflammation and rashes. Dermatologists have told what common mistakes in skin care can cause acne and how to avoid them, informs Ukr.Media.

Many people do not properly wash off their makeup at the end of the day, and this is one of the most important mistakes, doctors noted.

Residues of cosmetics and skincare products, mixing with sebum and impurities, clog pores, creating a favorable environment for bacteria to multiply. It is important not only to use appropriate makeup removers, but also to wash thoroughly afterwards.

Using inappropriate cosmetics can also cause inflammation.

Some people use products designed for dry skin to treat oily skin. For example, products containing hydrogel oil. It is only suitable for very dry skin and can lead to severe breakouts if used on oily skin, dermatologists emphasized.

Diet also plays an important role in proper skin care.

Some foods, when consumed frequently, can cause acne. Among them are fried foods, especially those cooked in animal fat or old oil - donuts, chebureks, French fries and other fast food. The body needs fats, but healthy fats - unsaturated fats, found in fish, nuts and avocados, experts warn.

One of the less obvious factors that affects skin cleanliness is bedding.

Prolonged use of stale bedding can also lead to rashes on the face and body.

Pillowcases and sheets accumulate sebum, makeup, and dust, creating ideal conditions for bacteria to grow. To prevent inflammation, it is recommended to change bed linen at least once every two weeks.
