10th Biggest Skin Mistakes that we can do. In our daily life we make some mistakes for our sensitive skin. Here is some information about our skin mistakes that we can make. Our skin is too much soft and we should keep it too much sensitive.

1. Using tanning beds. In case you haven’t heard, the World Health Organization (WHO) has classified tanning beds as a known carcinogen (i.e. cancer-causer). And if you want to accelerate the formation of wrinkles and/or get skin cancer and unsightly brown spots, using a tanning bed is the best way to do it.

2. Not using SPF daily. One unpublished study by Unilever showed that using just SPF 5 every day for five years prevented significant sun damage. Do yourself and your skin a favor and use a moisturizer with at least SPF 15. You’re moisturizing anyway, right? Most people do not apply enough sunscreen, so using an SPF of 15 should give you at least an SPF of 5.

3. Getting too much sun. 10 to 15 minutes of unprotected sun a few times a week can help your body get its vitamin D fix, but if you’re sitting outside at Starbucks for an hour a day without sunscreen, your skin will remind you years from now.

4. Using the wrong cleanser. If dryness is an issue, a foaming cleanser will only make matters worse. Two of the best cleansers for dry skin are Estée Lauder Soft Clean Tender Crème Cleanser and CeraVe hydrating cleanser. Oily types beware! A cleanser that’s too rich can send oily skins’ sebaceous glands into overdrive. The best cleanser for oily skin is a foaming cleanser such as Vichy Normaderm Deep Cleansing Gel. Combination skin types will like Paula’s Choice Hydralight One Step Facial Cleanser. If you do not know whether your skin is oily or dry, take the free quiz at www.SkinTypeSolutions.com. (Lists of cleansers that are best for each skin type can also be found in my bestselling book, The Skin Type Solution.)

5. Not using a retinoid. I am often asked “What is the best night cream to prevent aging?” In my opinion, the family of vitamin A creams known as retinoids are the best night creams and I believe that everyone over the age of 20 should be using a retinoid at night. This may help prevent aging and will smooth wrinkles you already have along with preventing acne and exfoliating the skin.

6. Over-exfoliating. How do you know how much to exfoliate? The answer is… It depends on your Baumann Skin Type. If your skin is dry, too much exfoliation strips lipids from the skin, and sensitive types can experience even more inflammation. Exfoliation is best for oily, resistant types.

7. Using daytime moisturizer if you have oily skin. If you’re on the oily side, skip the moisturizer and go straight to the sunscreen. Sunscreens have hydrating ingredients and very oily types make their own fatty acids, so they don’t need a moisturizer. (If you have dry spots, apply moisturizer only to those areas.) Everyone’s skin feels tight after cleansing, since it takes about 30 minutes for oil glands to replenish the skin—so see how your skin feels after 45 minutes and then you’ll know if you need moisturizer. Even better, take the quiz at SkinTypeSolutions.com to determine if your skin is oily.

8. Paying too much for skincare. Are expensive skincare products better? You don’t always get what you pay for. Check out this article to learn when to save and when to splurge on skin care products.

9. Not knowing your skin type. If you don’t know your Baumann Skin Type, you’re probably using the wrong products. Using the right ingredients can make a significant difference in the appearance of your skin.

10. Not getting a full-body skin exam every year. Think of this as a birthday present for your birthday suit—especially if you’ve had two or more bad sunburns in your lifetime. We should all of this mistakes take proper care. In thos step we got and faceing some common problem snd also solution.

Surprising Beauty Busters tips is here. Now i am going to tell you about something of surprising beauty busters.

Eating Vinegary Salad Dressing="Vinegar has a pH of 2.5, which means it's acidic," says Jason Olitsky, D.M.D., a dentist in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. "And acid erodes the tooth enamel." Balsamic is the worst kind because its dark color stains teeth too. Dodge the damage: Opt for white wine vinegar, which won't tint your teeth, and drizzle it over spinach, an alkaline food that helps neutralize acid. Also, wait 10 minutes before brushing—the lag time helps teeth return to a stronger state and prevents enamel breakdown caused by brushing. Fade stains with a whitening toothpaste like Crest 3D White Advanced Vivid Enamel Renewal Toothpaste, $4.25, at drugstores. 

Sleeping on Your Stomach or Side= Either slumber position smushes your face into your pillow, folding the skin and etching tiny creases around your eyes, nose, cheeks, mouth, and brows. "As you age, a loss of collagen prevents creases from plumping back up," says Patricia Wexler, M.D., a cosmetic dermatological surgeon in New York City. Plus, Wexler warns that these sleep positions cause pooling of facial lymphatic fluid, which exacerbates a.m. puffiness. Dodge the damage: Sleeping on your back is the obvious cure. But if you're having trouble making the switch, invest in a silk pillowcase that your skin will glide over smoothly as you toss and turn. Before you go to bed, slather on a peptide-rich face cream to help creases bounce back. Try Lumene Premium Beauty Rejuvenating Night Cream, $30, at CVS.
 

Carrying a Shoulder Bag= Toting a heavy purse isn't just hard on your back. According to Meghan Baldwin, a stylist at Eva Scrivo Salon in New York City, long hair can get caught under the strap of your bag, causing breakage. Dodge the damage: Swap long shoulder straps for short handles. Can't part with your favorite purse? Strengthen your strands by applying a mask with fortifying elastin to damp hair once a week (leave it on for 10 minutes, then rinse).

Taking sunscreen

No more Excuses for not wearing sunscreen. This is done by many example. Here i am giving some reason for it. women know they should wear sunscreen every day of the year, only 31% do. And many of those who skip SPF feel guilty about it—so much so that 31% admit they've fibbed about putting on sunscreen because they're embarrassed about their bad habit. So what gives? If we all know that sunscreen helps to protect our skin from cancer and prevent signs of aging such as spots and wrinkles, why aren't more of us using it? To find out, Prevention asked dermatologists to share some of the most common excuses women give for going outdoors unprotected. Read on and you'll discover there's really no good reason to skimp on sunscreen—you'll be healthier (and younger looking!) if you use it.

Excuse #1= "The chemicals in sunscreen are probably more dangerous than sun exposure"

Wearing sunscreen

Reality check: Sunscreens have gotten some bad press lately, including claims that they contain cancer-causing ingredients. But a recently published review of the studies on which these claims are based should ease fears. "Many of the safety concerns are not well founded—they're based on petri dish or animal data that doesn't relate to humans," says Steven Wang, MD, director of dermatologic surgery at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in Basking Ridge, NJ, and coauthor of the review. For example, in one study, mice fed a whopping dose of oxybenzone, a UV-light absorber commonly found in sunscreens, exhibited estrogenic effects, which the researchers believe could cause cancer cells to grow more rapidly. But by Dr. Wang's calculations, it would take more than 250 years for someone who uses sunscreen daily to be exposed to the amount of oxybenzone used in the study. Still worried? Use a sunscreen like Beyond Coastal Natural SPF 30 Sunscreen ($16; beyond coastal.com), which has zinc oxide and titanium dioxide in lieu of chemical sunscreens.





























Excuse #2= "I don't get a lot of sun" Reality check:

You don't have to be on the beach to soak up rays. Most people rack up 14 hours of casual UV exposure per week. And in one study, short spurts of UVA light twice a week resulted in significant damage to the fibers that keep skin smooth and firm in just 12 weeks. Makeup and a daily lotion with SPF are great steps, but "the protection is short-lived on hot, sunny days," says NYC dermatologist Arielle Kauvar, MD. Use a sweat-resistant sunscreen with at least SPF 30 on all sun-exposed areas to be safe.

Excuse #3= "It's a drag to reapply sunscreen"

Reality check Five minutes every 2 hours—that's all it takes to apply the 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) of sunscreen recommended for protection when you're in a bathing suit or outdoors for extended periods. And when it's time to reapply, new sprays like Aveeno Hydrosport Sunblock Spray SPF 85 ($10; drugstores) make it less of a hassle and even adhere to wet skin. Easy, right?

Excuse #4= "Sunscreen is too expensive"

Reality check As long as you pick one that clearly states it blocks both UVA and UVB rays, there's no need to break the bank when buying. "Research doesn't show any relationship between price and protection," reports Dr. Wang. Try Banana Boat Ultra Defense SPF 30 Continuous Clear Spray ($10; drugstores).

Excuse #5= "I don't need sunscreen because my skin is naturally dark"

Reality check:"Skin cancer is color-blind," warns Jeanine Downie, MD, a dermatologist in Montclair, NJ, and coauthor of Beautiful Skin of Color. In fact, skin cancer rates are increasing among Latinos—many of whom have dark skin. Mixed racial heritage may be one reason for the rise, says Vivian Bucay, MD, clinical assistant professor at the University of Texas Health Science Center.

Ways to Improve Hair Healthy is here. Now take a short tips list. Although it is more pronounced in men, hair loss also affects women and can start as early as your teens. Losing 100 hairs daily is normal and these are usually replaced within days. As we age, however, hormone fluctuations can weaken follicle strength. Physical and emotional stress, medications, disease, and diet can all contribute to losing hair. Today, various treatments are available to combat hair loss but you may also try some natural options to help you stimulate growth. 

1. Feed Your Follicles: Even if you don’t have Rapunzel’s locks, it doesn’t mean your hair can’t benefit from a well-balanced diet. Whether you have thick tresses or fine follicles, consuming nutritious foods can make a difference in your scalp and hair health.

• Chomping Champions for Hair: Our skin, nails, muscles, eyes, organs, and hair are all made of protein, which is essential for tissue repair and construction. For a healthy head of hair, make sure to include high-quality protein like eggs, low-fat dairy, poultry, fish, meat, whole grains, and beans.

• More Super Foods for Your Strands: Consuming organic fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains will provide your body with the essential vitamins and minerals to strengthen your locks. Another important mineral to include is iron, which can be found in dried fruits, organic meats and beef, beans, seaweed, and legumes. Iron deficiency often contributes to limp strands and hair loss. Munch on these marvelous foods for fabulous follicles: walnuts, sesame, seeds, sunflower seeds, seaweed, pumpkin seeds, beets, beet greens, mushrooms, mulberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, cranberries, apples, pears, peaches, black beans, mung beans, and organic lamb and chicken. Limit fried foods, artificial colors and additives, bleached flour, added sugars, and soft drinks.
