Hi, I'm Odell Melanie , Spa & Beauty Specialist with a formal training background from the Australian Defence Force Academy . In my daily work, I meet many clients who come in with severely damaged skin - not because they don't take care of their skin, but because they take care of it incorrectly at home . Today, I want to share about a common but often overlooked issue: bad skin care habits and their long-term effects.
According to a survey by the Dermal Health Institute (2023) of more than 2,000 people: 65% buy and use cosmetics according to advertisements without consulting experts.42% admitted to trying at least 3 new products within 1 month, causing "shock" to the skin.28% experienced serious problems such as dermatitis, irritation, severe acne... after using unsuitable products.
Washing your face too many times a day Many people think that washing their face too much will clean it and reduce oiliness, but in fact, this removes the natural protective oil layer, making the skin weak and easily irritated.Overuse of exfoliation Exfoliating too often or using products that are too strong will erode the skin's protective barrier, causing redness and irritation and making you more susceptible to sunburn.Use products according to trends Each skin has a different structure and needs. Products that are suitable for one person may not be good for another.Skip the sunscreen Whether indoors or out, UVA/UVB rays still penetrate and cause premature aging.
Skin becomes thin, weak, and easily irritated .Hyperpigmentation , causing melasma and freckles that are difficult to treat.Severe acne leaves permanent scars.Premature aging with deep wrinkles and sagging skin.
As someone with a background in applied medicine and holistic health, I always emphasize the importance of Personalized Skin Care & Wellness Coaching . A reputable professional will: Analyze skin condition using modern technology (skin analysis, moisture measurement, elasticity...).Build a personalized plan based on skin type, environment, lifestyle habits and medical history.Monitor & adjust treatment as skin changes due to weather, age or hormones.Provide basic knowledge training so customers know how to choose safe and suitable products.
At my spa, we combine on-site intensive treatments and online coaching : At the spa: Customers receive skin care using advanced technology (LED therapy, OxyJet, RF lifting...) combined with international standard products.At home: Clients receive detailed instructions from me via regular video calls, along with a list of suitable products and self-administered massage techniques.
Home skin care is essential, but don’t let yourself be the guinea pig for every new product. Let a professional help you design a safe, scientific, and effective care regimen . Sometimes, investing in the right knowledge and guidance will save you a lot more than spending many times more to restore damaged skin. 📌 Final message: Your skin is a precious “armor” – treat it with respect and understanding. Don’t let bad habits cost you your confidence and long-term health.
