Avoid These Skincare Mistakes

The increasing variety of skincare products can definitely be confusing. Especially when we use several products at the same time. Instead of increasing the risk of skin problems, Serenitree Squad can avoid the following skincare mistakes:

• Use moisturizer once only at night

Whether your skin is oily or dry, moisturizing is a must! But that doesn’t mean you just use it once a day at night. Especially for those of you with very dry skin, make sure to use it twice a day, morning and night.

• Not using sunscreen

As sophisticated as your skincare is, as expensive as it is, it will be useless without sunscreen! Skin that is not protected from the sun’s UV rays will be more prone to premature aging, dark spots, and even skin cancer. Therefore, even when indoors, keep using sunscreen!

• Over-exfoliating

Exfoliating is the process of removing dead skin cells so that the skin becomes brighter and smoother. There are generally 2 types of processes, namely chemical or physical. Excessive exfoliation can cause skin irritation, damaged skin layers and wounds. That’s why always look at the instructions for using the product first before use!

• Overuse of serums and face masks

Everything in excess can backfire on us. In the world of skincare, you shouldn’t try too many products at the same time. Especially if they’re not in the same range! The risk is that certain active ingredients conflict. This can lead to inflammation, irritation and skin burns!

If you don’t want to invite skin problems, Serenitree Squad must always be wise in using skincare. Always do your research, read the instructions and ingredients, and do a patch test. Stay safe and healthy always!

Do This Skincare Routine

Well, we’ve learned what we should avoid! Now it’s time to get your skincare routine right. Make sure to:

• Use moisturizer every morning and night

Moisturizers are meant to keep our skin moisturized and hydrated. With regular use twice a day in the morning and night, your skin will stay hydrated throughout the day. This is especially important for those with very dry skin. Don’t forget to use the type of moisturizer according to your skin type to make it more effective!

• Use skincare followed by sunscreen

As one of the most important skincare products, make sure to always apply sunscreen before traveling. Even when you’re just relaxing indoors. UVA rays from the sun can penetrate windows and doors, so don’t let your guard down! Use a sunscreen product with an SPF of at least 30. Remember to re-apply every 2 hours if you are in direct sunlight.

• Exfoliate according to the rules

Of course, to have smooth and bright skin, we need to exfoliate. However, the process can hurt us with excessive duration. Generally, we can only do physical exfoliation once a week and chemical exfoliation once a month. Be sure to look for signs of incompatibility after use. If negative effects appear, stop immediately.

• Using serums and face masks according to the rules

To prevent skincare ingredients from clashing with each other, always use serums 1 to 2 times a day and face masks 1 to 2 times a week. Try to use a skincare range from 1 or 2 brands only! Using too many different brands will be ineffective!

Serenitree Tips

The information above is just the gist of a good skincare routine. Apart from these tips, there are some important things that are often overlooked! Even though they seem like trivial things, these factors help us improve our skin health!

Here are some things you need to look out for:

• Always cleanse your face properly before using any skincare. Wash your face and do double cleansing with a mild cleanser.
• Use skincare in the order in which you use it! Generally, the order of skincare use starts with cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen.
• Choose skincare that suits your skin type! There are many types of skincare out there, make sure to find one that suits your skin concerns and skin type so that it can work effectively!
• Store skincare in a dry and clean place, away from the sun or damp places. This way, the quality and hygiene of the product can always be maintained.
• Avoid leaving old products open without using them! First, the risk is that the efficacy of the product can decrease, besides that it is also easily contaminated with bacteria!
• Do not use skincare that has expired. Usually products that have or will expire will experience changes in texture and aroma.

What is Dry Skin Problem?

When our skin is not properly hydrated, it can often become dry. The outer layer of the skin/epidermis contains natural oils and water as a protective barrier. If we don’t get enough water and moisture, our skin will be vulnerable to free radicals! As a result, symptoms such as scaling or cracking will appear. It’s also possible that you can feel itchy which is very annoying!

People of all ages and all skin parts of our body can become dry depending on the condition. So what are the factors that cause our skin to lack moisture and hydration? Here are some possibilities:

• Genetic factors

Everyone has different skin types such as dry skin, normal skin or combination skin.

• Weather

Environmental conditions or cold weather are often a factor in skin getting dry more easily.

• Aging

The older we get, the less oil and collagen production is produced. Not to mention the influence of hormones during menopause.

• Use of harsh skincare

If you use skincare with chemical content that is quite harsh, it will cause the risk of dry skin and other effects. Especially if the content is not suitable for our skin type.

• Sun exposure

Skin that is often exposed to the sun without the use of sunscreen has the potential to cause spots, dry skin or skin cancer!

There are many more factors! It turns out that there is not only one cause of lack of hydration and moisture in the skin! Therefore, to overcome it, we must first understand what the influencing factors are. After that, just look for a solution.

In addition, you also have to know what ingredients in skincare we must avoid. Take a look!

Skincare Ingredients to Avoid

Serenitree always encourages you to always check the ingredient label on skincare products. This can help you avoid any negative effects that may occur! Here are some examples of ingredients that you should avoid:

• Alcohol: This ingredient strips the skin of its natural oils, making dry skin even drier.

• Fragrances: Chemical fragrances, especially in large quantities, can cause skin irritation and dryness. Moderation is key! To be on the safe side though, you can use natural alternatives like essential oils.

• Sulfates: Sulfates, such as Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), can also strip the skin of its natural oils and are notorious for irritating the skin. That’s why SLS is not commonly used in skincare.

• Retinoids: While retinoids can be effective in treating various skin problems, they can also be harsh and a factor in dry skin. Make sure to incorporate these according to your skin type and needs!

• Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHAs): AHAs are exfoliating acids that work to exfoliate the skin. Using them too often or on dry skin can lead to further irritation!

• Benzoyl peroxide: Benzoyl peroxide works to shrink pores and calm inflammation on the skin. However, if the skin is not compatible, irritation and dryness may occur.

Those are more or less some of the ingredients you should keep an eye on. Serenitree also recommends that you avoid activities such as: Exfoliating your skin too often or washing your face too often. These activities will definitely strip your skin of its natural oils!

So, always be careful Serenitree Squad! Although a skincare ingredient has good benefits for the skin, not all skin will be suitable. To avoid the risk, you should check the ingredient label, do a patch test, or switch to natural ingredients like Serenitree!

Let’s move on to discuss Serenitree’s tips for dry skin!

Serenitree Tips: Bye Dry Skin!

The many factors that cause dry skin make us vigilant to maintain good skin health. As the saying goes: “Prevention is better than cure”, Serenitree would like to give you the complete tips and tricks to prevent dry skin.

It’s easy, you just need to do the steps below:

• Shower with cold water

We must maintain the temperature of the water when bathing, try not to be too hot and not too long because it can remove our natural oils. If possible, cold water temperature is better as it soothes the skin and tightens the pores.

• Using Serenitree natural Body Wash

Natural ingredients in skin cleansing products can minimize the risk of dry skin, such as Serenitree Body Wash. Make sure to avoid harsh or chemically harmful body washes!

• Using Serenitree natural Body Lotion

The concentration and texture of Serenitree’s lotion is thicker than most lotions. But that’s because our lotion is rich in natural oils that can provide more hydration to the skin. We need to use moisturizer regularly to avoid dry skin. We recommend using it after a shower!

• Use sunscreen

To protect your skin from UV rays, it’s important to wear sunscreen in any weather. UV exposure can cause dehydrated, dry skin, and even premature aging! So prevent it from now on and use sunscreen.

• Wear smooth clothes

Rough clothing can often irritate the skin due to excessive friction. Over time, the skin can become irritated, itchy and dry. Materials such as cotton are more recommended because they are gentle on the skin and can maintain skin moisture.
