Keep Facial Skin Clean
In Instagram Live, Dr. Hari explained that we need to keep our facial skin clean. Especially for women who often use makeup this is required double cleansing. If the process of cleaning the face is wrong, then dust or dirt will clog in the pores and eventually cause blackheads and pimples.
Quoted from healthline, double cleansing is an activity to clean the face using two different types of facial cleansers and with two stages of cleaning. Where is the first step using a facial cleanser that has oil-based ingredients (oil-based cleanser) and the second stage is done by using a water-based facial cleanser (water-based cleanser).
Using a Facial Moisturizer
dr. Hari in Instagram Live explained that besides being important to keep our skin clean, it is also important for us to use facial moisturizer. This is because, skin aging occurs due to natural oil production which decreases with age causing the skin to become drier and will easily appear fine lines. However, it is also important to use a facial moisturizer that suits each skin type.
Use Sunscreen / Daily Sunscreen
Using sunscreen every day can help protect the skin from sun exposure (UVA & UVB) which can accelerate skin aging. The reason is, excessive sunlight can make the skin wrinkle faster and bring up fine lines.
“It is very important for us to use sunscreen every day, both indoors and outdoors. In addition, the minimum SPF that needs to be used is SPF 30 and repeated use. said Dr Hari.
