Lately, your skin has been playing tricks on you. You notice small imperfections such as blackheads, redness, spots. Yet you feel like you’re beyond reproach. You’ve added collagen-rich foods to your menu for plumper skin, you’ve incorporated niacinamide into your routine to get rid of acne or dark spots, and you use SPF every morning to protect your skin from UV rays and fight against skin aging.
And yet, that little pimple on your cheek seems stubborn. Perhaps you are making a simple mistake, which is the cause. On TikTok, beauty influencer Giorgia Juanita (from the account @gjuanita) shared in a post the little things of daily life that helped him overcome certain problems. Among them, we find a very simple skin tip, which we wouldn’t necessarily think of.
The simple tip to introduce when buying a new cream to have beautiful skin
But then what is this gesture? Well, the TikToker specifies that each time she buys a new cream or skincare product, she systematically disinfects the jar before storing it in her cupboard. “Touching a package that is dirty and then putting your hands on your face can cause pimples to appear“, she explains. And when you think about it, it’s true that a pot of cream displayed in stores is touched by many people, bacteria can therefore be deposited there. Disinfecting it before putting it away does not takes very little time, so if it can avoid any inconvenience, it’s worth a try!
Let’s also remember that when you do your skincare, you must remember to wash your hands beforehand. Dr. Nina Roos, dermatologist interviewed by Current wife on the expiration of makeup, had also specified that the cosmetic products in which we “puts a brush or your hand in it lasts less time than those packaged in a bottle with a pump for example“. Concerning this last type of packaging, the beautician @skincarebylouisoff however clarified on TikTok that it is important to remember to disinfect the pump. By putting your fingers on the pot to take the product”It leaves big traces of cream and bacteria develop there because it’s in the open air. Until the next use when we will press it again to bring out the cream which will be contaminated with the bacteria that was on it“. The beautician therefore advises disinfecting it after each use.
@skincarebylouisoff ‼️ Why is it absolutely necessary to disinfect your cream pot? When you use a pump bottle, the product that remains on the surface is in direct contact with the air and the microbes deposited by your fingers on the cap. Result, between the moment you apply your cream and the moment you reapply it in the evening, the bacteria will have had time to develop there. And it’s not the anti-microbial agents that your cream contains that will be enough to stop the development of these bacteria 🤢 so don’t forget to disinfect your pot of cream each time you use it ⚠️ I’m a beautician so subscribe for more beauty tips 💖 #DrunkElephant #Skincare #Moisturizing cream #BeautyTips
