10 dangerous combinations of beauty products that kill beauty

Sometimes it seems like you can achieve perfect beauty by using everything at once. But in reality, some combinations of beauty products can only harm your beauty.

Neutralizing one product with another is what awaits you at best. And at worst, irritation, acne, problems with makeup, etc. Check whether you are using beauty products correctly and whether you are combining things that should never be combined.

1. Retinol and acids
   Retinol is vitamin A. This product helps those with oily, problematic, and aging skin. But don’t mix retinol with products that contain acids. In a good way, you can’t combine it with anything other than moisturizers, otherwise you risk getting dry skin and even more breakouts.
2. Retinol and benzoyl peroxide
   Fighting acne is a case when you want everything at once to get rid of this horror on your face as soon as possible. If you have acne, you should calm down. Despite the fact that you want to smear yourself with all the creams, you need to approach the treatment of this problem calmly and not combine what cannot be combined with each other.

These are retinol and benzoyl peroxide. Separately, they fight the problem very well, but together they do not work. Benzoyl peroxide oxidizes retinol and nullifies its effect. Simply put, it is a waste of money.

3. Facial scrub and cleansing brush
   A scrub by itself can cope with exfoliation, but if you add the action of a brush to it to cleanse the skin, you can get very unpleasant consequences in the form of hyperpigmentation, skin injuries, irritation and inflammation.

If you have acne, never do this, otherwise you will do your skin a disservice.

4. Hydroxy acids and vitamin C
   Other acids cannot be combined with ascorbic acid (vitamin C). They completely neutralize its effect, deprive it of its lightening and antioxidant properties. In addition, you can forget about increasing collagen levels. In the morning, serum with vitamin C, and in the evening, products with acids. That's it!
5. Mattifying primer and bridge
   Mattifying products contain silicone, which repels water, and there is a lot of water in cities. It is important that the skin is completely dry first, and only then can you start applying mattifying products.
6. Perfume and sunscreen
   If you want to protect your skin from the sun, opt for sunscreen. The thing is that perfume can neutralize SPF products. The level of protection will be lower, and age spots may appear on the neck and chest. Do you need it?
7. Self-tanning and nourishing creams
   If you want to moisturize your skin before self-tanning, don't apply creams with mineral oils, paraffin, and petroleum jelly to your skin. The thing is that these heavy ingredients prevent water from evaporating from the skin, prevent the self-tanner from evenly distributing, and as a result, spots, streaks, and uneven tanning.
8. Mattifying foundation and cream blush
   These products contain silicones of various types, so… they will repel each other. Your makeup will be uneven, and your blush will definitely lose its hold and start to slide off. If you have no choice, wait until the foundation is absorbed, and only then apply blush.
9. Shea butter and sheet masks
   It is useless to use shea butter or a cream with this oil immediately after a sheet mask with hyaluronic acid. The cream will simply roll off the sticky film. It is better to wait fifteen minutes, and then you can count on a good result.
10. Probiotics and minerals with SPF
    Mineral products have antibacterial properties, so probiotics will not bring any good effects. You don't need to wait for the product to wear off or wash it off, just don't use them on the same day.
