No sunscreen, scrubbing too hard: The skincare red flags you need to be wary of

India Today  

In the quest to live those movie-inspired romantic moments IRL, we often ignore the red flags in our partner. Scrubbing too hard "Using harsh scrubs or products with gritty pieces like walnut shells can scratch and irritate your skin," says Dr DM Mahajan, senior consultant, dermatology, Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, New Delhi. Instead of using such products, you can use gentle chemical exfoliators with ingredients like alpha-hydroxy acids or beta-hydroxy acids to remove dead skin cells gently. "Constantly changing skincare products and routines can disrupt the skin's natural balance and hinder its ability to repair and regenerate," says Dr Gupte. Never use expired products Forgetting the basics and falling for fads "Cleansing, moisturising, and sun protection are the pillars of a good skincare routine," mentions Dr Tipirneni, adding that even with fancy serums, neglecting these fundamentals can compromise your skin health.
