11 Secrets the Beauty Industry Doesn’t Want You to Know

Dr. Debra Jaliman warns against storing your beauty items in the bathroom because the warm and humid air makes them expire more quickly. Face creams and other beauty accessories you don’t frequently use should be stored in the fridge.
6. Keep everything that touches your skin clean.
Dr. Lancer says you shouldn’t ever touch your face with dirty hands. Change pillowcases at least once a week if you have dry or normal skin type or once every three days if your skin is oily. Clean your smartphone screen from time to time.
5. Don’t use scrubs and face sponges, especially if you’re prone to acne.
Christie Kidd, a skin care specialist from Beverly Hills, recommends never using any abrasive skin care products (scrubs, sponges, brushes) if you have acne: this only leads to graver inflammation. Any skin type needs delicate cleansing without soap, and to reduce reddening and inflammation, apply a water-and-aspirin paste to the spots.
4. Facial massage will help get rid of circles under your eyes.
Ole Henriksen recommends lymph drainage massage against circles under the eyes. The procedure stimulates lymph flow, the skin smoothes, and the “bags” disappear. Besides, you can even do it at home – it’s not difficult to learn.
3. Take care of your hands.
Hands require as much care as the neck because the skin there is thin and delicate. Try doing your chores in gloves, and regularly moisten your skin with cream. You can also apply anti-age creams to your hands as well as your face. And don’t forget sunscreen!
2. Cleanse your skin thoroughly.
Dermatologist Debra Jaliman points out that you shouldn’t ever go to bed with makeup on. If you do that, you’ll end up with blocked pores and inflammations. Simple as it sounds, many still neglect this advice.
1. Always take off your bra before going to bed.
As much as you might be tempted to leave your bra on before sleep, hearing all the stuff about your breasts becoming perkier thanks to this, doctors warn against it. A bra, especially a tight or wired one, constricts your blood circulation, leading to health problems. In addition, it causes skin irritation, restlessness due to discomfort, and darkening of the skin under the straps and wire.
