In life and style We spoke with the dermatologist Sara Cherem from The Skin Clinic, who points out the common mistakes we make with our skin and the circumstances to which we subject it between having a personal care routine or ignoring fundamental parts so that it protects our skin .
Mistakes in the skincare routine for men
Using very hot water, aggressive soaps and rubbing the skin
When we subject the skin to very hot water, we eliminate the layer of fat that covers us, which forms the skin barrier. By losing this barrier, the skin dries out and becomes more susceptible to inflammation and infection.
Aggressive soaps cause skin fat to saponify and again make us lose the skin barrier.
Carve the skin. When the skin is subjected to friction, the skin responds by thickening and becoming pigmented, as is the case with children’s knees or elbows.
The use of grass, scourer, loofah, brushes or other devices to rub and rub the skin dry, pigment and thicken it.
Not using sunscreen:
The sun is responsible for 90% of skin aging. The most important thing to protect your skin and prevent sun damage is to use sunscreen every day, even if you’re not in the sun.
It is very normal to think that I do not use the sunscreen because I do not leave the house, however the use of the cell phone or the computer screen as well as the light that enters through the window since we do not live in a cave, makes us be exposed. This exposure to sunlight during the day hurts us. That is why we need to use sunscreen every day.
The little constancy:
A skincare routine begins to take effect after three months of use, if we want to see improvement we need to use the products consistently, the use of sunscreen being extremely important, that is why at Halo skin we have developed the concept of subscriptions so that you never your products are missing
Use the routine skin care of your partner
It is very common for people to use their partner’s or someone else’s products. It is very important that the cream routine is personalized and according to your needs. At Halo Skin we have developed a short and very simple quiz so that you can detect your skin type and your needs and based on it, recommend a routine for you.
