SaaraMost skincare guides focus too heavily on advertising products and too little on damage prevention. My skincare and haircare routine is minimalistic and only contains a few products but I put a lot of effort into minimizing the damage to my skin, hair and scalp. <br> <br> I keep myself hydrated and try my best to keep my alcohol &amp; sugar consumption low. I never use hot water on my face &amp; hair and I avoid touching my face &amp; hair with dirty hands. I wear sunscreen and a cap outdoors. I never wear hair accessories or hairstyles that put pressure on my scalp and I cover my hair when while frying food. I rarely wear makeup and therefore wash my face with lukewarm water only on most days. I try to keep my face relaxed when I'm stressed out. I avoid getting sick or applying mechanical damage like massaging/scrubbing my face roughly. I change my pillowcase a few times a week.<br> <br> It's usually easier to prevent damage than to repair it afterwards but it's also easier to make money advertising products than advising what not to do.<br> <br> 📸: Anniina Korte (IG:caliginousgreen)<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/skincare?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#skincare</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/redhair?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#redhair</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/serious?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#serious</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/punapää?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#punapää</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/coloredhair?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#coloredhair</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/redhead?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#redhead</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/natureportrait?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#natureportrait</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/eyecontact?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#eyecontact</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/greeneyes?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#greeneyes</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/intenselook?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#intenselook</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/portraitphotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#portraitphotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/photoshoot?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#photoshoot</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/suomalainen?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#suomalainen</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/finn?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#finn</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/finnishwoman?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#finnishwoman</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/finnish?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#finnish</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/suomi?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#suomi</a>
