Common face-washing mistakes to avoid
"Washing your face appears to be a simple task, doesn't it?"
Washing your face appears to be a simple task, doesn't it? However, you may be still doing it incorrectly.
While there is no one-size-fits-all solution for face washing, it is crucial to avoid some common mistakes that can result in long-term skin problems.
Using the wrong cleanser
Choosing the right products for your skin type is the most important step toward having flawless skin.
Skin types include dry, oily, and acne-prone skin; different products work best for each.
Your cleanser should remove all dirt and grime from your face without stripping it of its natural oils.
For normal to dry skin, dermatologists recommend a hydrating, creamy cleansing lotion.
Those with oily or combination skin should choose anti-inflammatory foaming or gel cleanser.
Your Water Is Too Hot or Cold
We've all experienced the joy of a hot shower. However, while the hot water may feel nice, it isn't doing your skin any favors.
Using too hot water can cause overly dry skin, which causes redness and aggravates skin conditions.
This is also true when using extremely cold water. We recommend gently cleansing your face with lukewarm water to avoid irritating your skin.
Washing Your Face Too Often
It is beneficial to wash your face twice a day. Over-washing your face usually results in irritated skin and an increase in oil production.
This is because removing your skin's natural oils causes it to produce more oils.
If you've been at home all day and your skin hasn't been exposed to any makeup or sweat, you can skip the night cleanser and simply wash your face with water.
You’re using Dirty Hands
Before cleansing your face, wash your hands to ensure that they are completely clean before applying them to your face.
You touch a lot of things in your daily life, from door handles to cell phones, and your hands may have bacteria on them from the various surfaces you come into contact with throughout the day, necessitating a good wash before they come into contact with your face.
You have poor towel habits
If you choose to dry your face with a towel after cleansing, avoid rubbing it too hard.
The key is to pat your face dry rather than rub it. Rubbing your skin with a towel may be faster and easier, but it causes irritation and redness.
The best way to dry your face is to gently pat and press the towel against it until the majority of the moisture has been absorbed. Also, never, ever share towels.
