At OHMYKOKO we love good skincare, probably as much as you do, which is why you are reading this post.

Taking care of your skin by establishing daily routines is essential if you want to embrace the trendy concept of slow age.

Aging is a natural and inevitable biological process , but with proper and constant care, we can significantly slow down the aging process of our skin.

Of course, other external factors come into play in slow age, not just cosmetic care. It is essential to take care of your diet and maintain a healthy diet, respect your sleeping hours, take care of your lifestyle , control stress and protect yourself from external aggressions , the sun, etc. to prevent premature aging and skin lesions .

Below we will reveal 5 of the most common mistakes that you should avoid.

MISTAKE #1: PUTTING ON MAKEUP WITHOUT PREPARING YOUR SKIN

Whatever your skin type, whether young or mature, it is essential to moisturise your skin well before applying make-up. Make-up alone does not work miracles. With good hydration , you will achieve an exceptional result :

• Greater adherence of cosmetics , so they will last much longer in perfect condition.

• Greater water retention in your skin, combating dry skin.

• Protection against external aggressions and free radicals, thus preventing premature aging of your skin and the appearance of premature wrinkles.

The best way to apply your moisturizer is to start at the neck and work your way up , this way you will also be firming it.

Don't neglect the eye contour!

The eye contour is an extremely fragile and delicate area that requires specific care. Choose a good EYE CONTOUR SERUM with high hydration to stop premature aging in this area.

As for how to apply it, here comes the most common mistake #2.

MISTAKE #2: APPLYING EYE CONTOUR ONLY TO BAGS AND DARK CIRCLES

The skin in this area is up to 5 times thinner than the rest of the face! Therefore, it is logical that it is the most vulnerable to the passage of time.

If we add to this the abuse of mobile devices and the lack of hours of sleep , we have the perfect scenario for premature aging.

Therefore, if you are 25 years old or older , you should include a specific product for eye contour care in your cosmetic routine.

How do you apply eye contour? Don't just apply it on the bags, dark circles or crow's feet. That's the big mistake! The upper eyelids also age and lose firmness, so you have to apply it all over the bone surrounding the eye , tapping lightly .

The skin around the eyes contains a dense network of small blood vessels . Thanks to this rich vascularization , when applying the serum to the entire periorbital cavity, the active ingredients of the product penetrate effectively, treating the entire eye contour area .

ERROR #3: APPLYING PRODUCTS IN THE WRONG ORDER

If you don't apply your products in the right order, you won't get the results you're looking for. Once you've cleansed your face, the order you should follow is this: serum, eye contour, moisturizer, sun protection and makeup.

• A good CLEANSE , in addition to removing all impurities, traces of grease and makeup , prepares the skin to receive all the benefits of the rest of the active ingredients in your cosmetic routine.

• SERUM will be the next step. It is made up of very small molecules and highly concentrated in active ingredients that easily penetrate the skin , reaching the deepest layers . Its high concentration and rapid absorption means that it can be used in small quantities.

• Next, it is the turn of the EYE CONTOUR . If we apply it after the cream, the latter forms a kind of barrier on the surface layer, preventing the active ingredients of the eye contour from penetrating properly.

We recommend an eye contour serum based on hyaluronic acid with a growth factor to improve the firmness and elasticity of the skin around the eyes. Hyaluronic acid also maintains adequate hydration, helping to maintain the integrity of the skin barrier and the right environment for the production of collagen and elastin .

• This is followed by MOISTURIZING CREAM . Having a much higher molecular weight , it forms a screen or barrier whose function is to protect and treat the most superficial layer of the skin.

• The next step is sun protection or sunscreen , which, as its name suggests, has the function of protecting our skin from the harmful effects of UV rays .

• And our skin would be ready for makeup.

MISTAKE #4: RUBBING THE CREAM ON TOO MUCH

Do you think that the more you rub, the more effect you get? Big mistake! What you can do is create micro lesions in the skin, making it more sensitive and vulnerable .

If you really want to pamper your skin and make it look as beautiful as possible, treat it gently.

MISTAKE #5: APPLYING MORE COSMETICS THAN NECESSARY

Applying more product will not make your skin feel more effective or faster. Use the amount that your skin will absorb , neither more nor less. Too much product can actually have a negative effect, as it can clog pores.
