When it comes down to skin related trends, there is always something new in the market.and being the beauty freak most of us are (guilty pleasures), almost all of us are jumping up and down to try one of these new trends. So just when the baking soda trend was on the rise, I would often slather my clustered acne skin with baking soda potion. Fast forward a few weeks of religiously doing so, not only did my acne agitate but my skin started peeling off. Click here to know more about the effective HIFU treatment in Singapore.
Alarmed by my situation I ran off to one of the best skin specialists in Lahore to learn that my skin condition has worsened and while baking soda is an excellent natural bleaching ingredient, I slightly overdid it and made my skin peel off in worse ways than I ever could otherwise. Hence began my self-discovering journey on skin issues to debunk every fad and help bring the right DIY to light.
10 skin-care trends that dermatologists say to be cautious about
1- Cosmetic procedures
Cosmetic procedures are not always a safe option. Now, this may not have to do with how to do the procedure itself but rather who is performing it. Not all people are qualified for all the procedures that are introduced. For example, getting micrdermatisation from any cosmetologist may not be a wise choice if you have sensitive skin. This is especially important as minor punctures are made into skin using small needle insertions. If you are inspired by some new dermatology procedure make sure to consult with a reliable specialist before, given how your skin condition is and whether you will be needing that procedure or not.
2. DIY skin-care
Do not get me wrong, i am all up for DIYs. I mean who would not want something that is all natural and organic, but here is the tweak my baking soda disaster taught me.
Not all DIYs are for you.
Homemade masks, serums and moisturisers are tempting sure, but getting to know about your skin type should be your first priority. For example if you have sensitive skin, you would rather not want anything to do with lemon as it may leave a rash on your skin. But on the other hand if you have oily skin, lemon can be a good ingredient in your DIY as it ill help in controlling the over secretion of oil. According to current dermatological analysis, more complications are arising from people experimenting with DIYs especially with darker skin tones.
3. Peel-off masks are a No No
Peeling off the surface is alluring, I get it. But not when it comes to our skin. All these instagramable peel offs that are spread like wildfire on social media, are nothing but heavy photoshops, that’s not how your skin dermis works. The only peel-off that you should get is the one that comes from a dermatologist. If you are thinking about getting a peel-off because you want the impurities to be off your skin, let me assure you that there are much better ways of doing that visit ureadthis
4. Get rid of SOAP BARS this year
One trend that has never died for years has been using soap bars. This has become even a bigger trend in the name of organic minimalistic trends over the past few years. While I have nothing against the use of soap, soaps can be sure over-drying and can lead to rashes during harsh seasons such as winters. If you are looking for a better option, you should look out for something that will replenish your skin’s moisture barrier instead of ripping it dry.
5. Not everything shared on Internet is true
Let me say it big and clear. The GOLD FACIAL is not the answer for your skin problems. Not only is it ridiculously expensive, it is also a dense heavy metal ion that can irritate the normal pH of your skin levels. According to a horror story narrated by a skin specialist at ihsan mumtaz Hospitalgold facial has actually led to rash and bruised skin. Similarly there are many trends circulating the internet that promise excellent skin results. Charcoal masks, derma rollers, charcoal peel-offs etc are all not made of equal quality as shown on the internet. Many companies invest more money into their advertising than they will in their actual product. This is why it’s always better to educate yourself on any eccentric facial, skin tool or new skin care trend that may seem too good to be true.
So how should I take care of my skin?
Well,to begin with, observe your skin and see how your skin responds to different products. This helps you determine how typically your skin will respond. If you are completely clueless about what to expect you should consult with a dermatologist right away!
