Unpopular Skincare Opinions | Do’s and Dont’s

Hey guys! I haven’t done an USO in a while so I decided to post one. This topic is an interesting one, skincare do’s and don’ts. As always, this is a safe place to voice your own opinion.

A little note, please respect what others have to say, it may not align with what you believe but we have to learn to be tolerant.

Anyway here are my opinions:

- I will always be on the side of DON’T put lemons :lemon: on your skin :persevere:

- a big skincare don’t, is about not popping pimples...needless to say I’m so-so with it lol. I definitely don’t pop as much anymore.

- do use a hydrating serum if you can! Hydrating your skin helps your acne heal faster plus it helps with oil control.

- do get a quick look at a products ingredients list before buying it! Try to at least learn what the popular ingredients like AHA’s, BHA, retinol, glycerin, Hyaluronic Acid do. It will help a lot and could help with unnecessary purchases.

- don’t force your skin to like a product. Yes it has all the right ingredients or it was super expensive but if your skin says no, then Issa big no!

- do try and exercise patience when trying new products/routine! It takes time for noticeable differences to be apparent. Have a minimum waiting period of at least 1-2 (3 if you can) months before ditching a product.

- finally, do be kind to yourself and your skin :blue_heart: I feel like nowadays everyone is tying to achieve highly unrealistic or unhealthy skin goals and that’s really sad. It’s normal to have texture, visible pores, acne, acne marks, acne scars!! No one is perfect and that’s okay. Aim for healthy skin, i always tell people this and I won’t stop because healthy skin is happy skin!

:sunflower: :sunflower: :sunflower:

I think this was really long but I hope you enjoyed me (ranting). I want to know what you guys have to say! Let me know your do’s and dont’s and if you agree with any of une common ones out there :blush:

If it’s really that bad i really recommend meeting a professional to help you come up with ways to help you do it less. We can only do so much for ourselves

Ikr ^^' Last time I tried to talk about that to a dermatologist they kinda brushed it off as me not having motivation. Sadly dermatillomania is kind of "recent"so it's hard to find professionals who can take over picking seriously. And I cannot really spend money on 10 appointments to find one that will get the problem :(

Aw man :( and it’s not your fault. You tried but sadly the person who was supposed to help you are at least point you in the direction of someone who could didn’t. I’d say keep trying your best and if you do pick make sure it’s done safely :two_hearts:

You’re better off with a simple and basic routine in my opinion. For serums it depends. If you don’t have acne then the only serum you’d find helpful would be a hydrating serum.
