KNOW YOUR INGREDIENTS

Skin care products that are typically food for the skin, because what you put on your body is just as important as what you put in it! Trying a new skin care product can be exciting but it can be disappointing if the product doesn’t do the work you expected it to do or makes your skin condition worse. Just because a particular product is popular in the market doesn’t mean that the product will work for you. Here are some signs that indicate that you may be using the wrong skin care product:

 

1. Your skin is breaking out- you could be allergic to an ingredient in the product or it is too harsh for your skin. You can get rashes, hives, more pimples, more acne and itchy skin.
2. Your skin feels tight- Tightness can also be an indication that your new miracle product just isn’t right for you. Using the wrong cleanser in particular, can strip your skin of its natural protective oils, causing dehydration, irritation and dryness.
3. Your skin has become oily- Having normal skin is normal for some people, but if oil usually isn’t a concern for you, then perhaps your product formulas are affecting your skin.
4. Your face burns or stings- Do not suffer in the name of beauty, you need to change the product you are currently using as this is not normal.
5. Your face has become more sensitive- If you notice that your skin reacts after a particular product has been applied then you need to change the product.
6. Your Complexion Is dry and peeling- Dry skin can be normal, but if you find that your complexion is rough and peeling then you have to swap the product for one that suites your skin type .
