You can buy yourself a bunch of skin care products, but still not see any results from using them.

Why can even a good and expensive cream turn out to be a dud?

Is it all because the woman chose the wrong product for herself?

In fact, it is rare to meet a representative of the fair sex who will choose the first face cream that comes her way.

First, she will read something about it on the Internet, study the composition and only then decide whether it is worth spending money on skin care cosmetics.

And even if the cream can boast of an excellent composition, and everyone likes it, unfortunately, it is not always possible to achieve any effect from it.

However, don't immediately blame the cosmetic companies, they have nothing to do with it. Perhaps the woman herself makes her cream useless.

What mistakes does she make when using the product? When even a quality cream won't work?

Improper storage

In fact, not all people look at the expiration date of a particular cosmetic product when they buy it.

However, it is important to note that companies do not write the exact expiration date of the cream, they add some time for the reserve so that the product remains suitable for use after the expiration date.

Roughly speaking, the cream can be used for about a month after its expiration date supposedly expires. However, manufacturers are not responsible for how useful the cream will remain if you use it too long after opening the jar or tube.

Therefore, if a woman applies expired cosmetics to her face, nothing may happen to her, or she may develop skin problems.

Typically, after opening, the cream can be used for 4 to 6 months. The expiration date is usually printed on the lid of the jar or on one of its sides.

Regular cosmetics can be stored simply on a shelf in the bathroom; it is not necessary to put them in the refrigerator.

However, if the room temperature rises to 30 degrees, it is still worth cooling your favorite products so that they do not spoil.

As for natural cosmetic products, as a rule, preservatives are not added to them, and therefore they are stored for only a week and only in the refrigerator.

You can't dip your fingers into the cream.

Manufacturers add preservatives to many creams that fight against actively developing microflora.

And for the preservatives to work, the cream should be taken with a special spatula or shovel, but not with your fingers. Even a cotton swab will do for applying the product to the skin.

It is important to pay attention to the packaging of the product.

Yes, thanks to preservatives, the cream can be stored longer, but these substances do not always benefit the epidermis.

In addition, if the cream is vacuum-packed, it usually contains fewer preservatives and agents that fight the growth of bacteria that can harm the skin.

The fact is that vacuum packaging basically protects the cream, and therefore after opening it, no one can say with certainty that the product will be stored as long as a product in standard packaging.

It is worth giving up various additives to the cream

Women often try to improve their cosmetics, and therefore add essential oils and vitamins to day or night cream. It would seem that this will only benefit the skin if the cream contains vitamins A and E.

In fact, cosmetologists ask women to refuse any additives. The fact is that the cream formula is developed by biotechnologists, pharmacists and scientists who add a certain amount of active components to the product so that it works.

Some substances must be added in strict concentrations, otherwise they will only harm the skin or simply have no effect.

Biochemistry is a serious science, so if a cream contains too much of a substance, it can affect the effect of the basic components on the skin. It is possible to even develop an unnecessary allergy.

Why is it important to cleanse your skin in the morning?

In order for the cream to have a good effect on the skin, it must be applied to a clean face. It is not enough to just rinse your face with cool water and then apply some product to it.

The fact is that in the evening, not only dust and dirt settle on the skin, but sebum is also produced in the cells, which clogs the pores.

It is enough to not cleanse your face for a couple of days for dirt, dust, dead skin particles, and sebum to stick tightly to the epidermis. In this case, not a single component of the cream will be able to penetrate the cells, so you will not be able to get any benefit from the product.
