You know you need to wash your face before bed, if you do not, or do not do it properly, then you are adding years to your face. But that's not all you need to consider before you go to sleep. For glowing skin, there are plenty of bedtime habits that you need to remove from your routine. Here are 7 of them:
Do not wash your face
We know you know that. But you probably do not know why it is so important. Your face collects more germs during the day, even if you do not put on makeup. While you are sleeping, your skin regenerates, which means it removes dead skin cells and builds new ones. "When you have a buildup of particles or other germs, it makes it difficult for your skin to get rid of those dead skin cells," says Mona Gohara, MD, a member of the Association of Women Dermatologists. Over time, cells that have not been removed build up in your face and block the pores, which can lead to acne.
Rinse with hot or cold water
It may not feel so good on the face, or it may not wake you up one morning, but lukewarm water is the one that is best for your skin (this is also true for the shower). Both cold and hot water can irritate your skin and lead to skin irritation.
Sleeping on the same pillow for a long time
Sleeping on the same pillow night after night can expose your skin to some very harmful things, such as bacteria and sweat. Experts recommend changing your pillow at least once a week, but even more often if you are prone to acne.
Cleansing your skin
Some very good things can damage your skin. "Most patients over-cleanse their skin, compromising the moisture barrier and the microbiome of the skin's natural protective layer," say dermatologists. When beneficial and natural bacteria are cleansed, we are more susceptible to infections, outbreaks, and dry skin.
Keeping the room very warm
A cozy bedroom can be detrimental to the health of your skin and the quality of sleep. Studies show that the body rests better at low temperatures. Keep your room temperature cool in the evening, don’t you get the best sleep on a cool autumn night?
Long shower, with hot water
Keeping your shower water very hot can be dehydrating to the skin. Instead, keep the shower temperature on the cooler side and be sure to apply body lotion afterwards.
Eat fried things before bed
Think twice about chips or chips before you talk. Salt added to what you can eat can lead to excessive accumulation of fluid, especially around the eyes. And that means bloating in the morning. Antidote, a lighter, healthier snack, such as fruits or vegetables./MM-dritare.net
