People are addicted to it. When I write a manuscript, I end up with a stoop, and when I notice it, I often cross my legs … If you straighten your spine and write the manuscript, your abdominal muscles will be strengthened and stiff shoulders will surely disappear. If you cross your legs for a long time, it may cause swelling. So what is the NG habit for the skin?
What if the movements and casual gestures that you take for granted in your daily life are raising your skin age? You’re not scared of that! ?? Let’s check the NG habits now!
NG habit # 1: In winter, avoid UV protection
This is a very common NG habit. Certainly, the amount of UV rays is high from March to September in a year. However, the amount of UV rays does not drop significantly from October to February, that is, from autumn to winter. If you look at the website of the Japan Meteorological Agency, you can see the annual distribution of ultraviolet rays. The amount of ultraviolet rays is weakened, but it is not “zero”. Yes, UV rays are definitely falling on the ground. So be sure to apply sunscreen during the day, even if you’re indoors. You don’t choose one with a high UV value like in summer, but it’s safe to choose around SPF20 / PA ++. If you skip UV protection from autumn to winter, melanin will naturally accumulate on your skin and cause dullness and dark spots. In addition, ultraviolet rays also trigger aging such as wrinkles and sagging, so measures must be taken thoroughly. In addition to UV protection, I also do whitening care in winter. It is a mistake to think that UV protection is from spring to summer.
NG habit # 2: I can’t get out of my smartphone life
A very convenient smartphone. I am also indebted to my work privately, but it is an NG habit for my skin to keep watching for a long time. There are two reasons. The first is “the attitude of looking at a smartphone.” When looking at a smartphone, the neck is slightly tilted forward and the line of sight is downward. If this condition is continued for a long time, wrinkles will be formed on the neck and the face line will be easily loosened. In the beauty industry, even the word “smartphone slackness”, which is a sign of aging caused by using a smartphone for a long time, was born. It’s easy to kill time on the train with your smartphone, but you should be careful.
And the second is “Blue Light”. Blue light is also emitted from the screens of smartphones and personal computers that we use every day. In fact, according to recent research, light such as blue light and near infrared rays is the cause of dark spots and dullness. In addition, blue light seems to affect eyestrain, dry eye, sleep disorders, etc., so stop saying “smartphone after going to bed”.
NG habit # 3: Do not use the specified amount of skin care items
No matter how great your serum is, if you use only a small amount, not the prescribed amount, you will not get enough skin effect. When you buy cosmetics, you will get an “instruction manual”. In addition to the ingredient display and skin effect, the amount used is properly written there. For example, if it says “Take 2 pushes on your palm and apply them to your entire face”, you have to take 2 pushes properly. This is because when making a product, it is premised that the skin effect can be obtained by using the specified amount. If you use only one push, it is half the specified amount. Unfortunately, it is no exaggeration to say that only half the effect can be obtained. By using the prescribed amount, you should be able to get a crisp skin and feel enough moisture. Especially in the fall and winter, drying accelerates, so I want you to feel like using a little more than the specified amount. I think that it is easier to realize the effect by layering the parts that are dry or have skin problems.
The accumulation of these bad habits causes the skin to tilt more and more in the negative direction. Let’s improve your skin-beautifying power by reviewing it from today when you noticed it!
