In Indian households, cream has been used for centuries to brighten and soften the skin. The lactic acid and fat present in cream act as natural moisturizers for the skin. However, just as not every medicine is suitable for every ailment, cream is not beneficial for all skin types.
For some people with specific skin types and problems, applying cream to the face can be harmful. Let's find out who should avoid using cream on their face.
People with Oily Skin
For people whose skin already produces a lot of oil, cream can be a major problem. Cream has a very high fat content. When people with oily skin apply it to their face, it creates a heavy and sticky layer on the skin's surface. This makes the skin look very greasy and it loses its natural radiance.
People with Acne and Pimples
If you frequently experience acne or pimples on your face, cream can be your enemy. Cream is comedogenic, meaning it clogs the pores. Clogged pores allow bacteria to thrive, and the problem of pimples can become more severe. People with cystic acne should completely avoid it.
People with Blackheads and Whiteheads
The heaviness of the cream prevents accumulated dust and dirt from escaping from the skin. When the oiliness of the cream gets trapped in the pores, it oxidizes and turns into blackheads and whiteheads. If your skin clogs easily, using cream can make your facial texture rough.
People with Sensitive Skin
Although cream is natural, some proteins and lactic acid present in dairy products can react with sensitive skin. Sometimes, applying cream can cause itching, rashes, or a mild burning sensation on the face. If you are allergic to dairy products, it is essential to do a patch test before applying cream to your face.
The right way to apply cream:
Using cream is beneficial only if you have very dry skin. But there are some rules for applying it:
Do not leave the cream on your face for hours. Wash it off with lukewarm water after 10-15 minutes.
Instead of applying only cream, mix a little gram flour (besan) with it to balance its oiliness.
