Washing the face is such a mechanical action that many of us don't think about whether we are doing it right. Many of our actions are harmful to the skin and make it irritated and sensitive.
Here are the mistakes that are most often made when washing the face
You are choosing the wrong product for your skin
A suitable cleanser should wash off dirt, make-up well enough, but should not remove your skin's natural oils too aggressively. Not to mention damage to the he althy layer of epidermal cells, which is often damaged with too abrasive particles.
It is necessary to choose the product that will do the best job specifically for your skin - neither too light nor too aggressive.
You are overdoing the cleaning
The rule that applies to washing your hair also applies here. The skin also does not respond well to multiple washes in one day. You risk drying it out, reddening it, and infecting it. Taking a break from different types of cosmetic products is also very important for the skin. Let her "breathe" every now and then.
Washing your face with inappropriate water temperature
As you know, hot water opens the pores, cold water closes them. Nevertheless, lukewarm water is best for washing the face, as it is neutral and will not cause increased sebum secretion or dryness.
You exfoliate too much
Rubbing the skin of the face roughly can lead to irritations, which in addition to being painful, can disrupt the smoothness of your complexion. Products with abrasive particles should not be used more than 2 to 3 times a week. Daily exfoliation can prove to be detrimental to facial skin.
You don't rinse well
Be careful not to leave traces of washing products or makeup on the skin of the face after washing. This is not harmless. Accumulation of soap scum in the pores clogs them and causes inflammation and other problems.
Ingredients causing irritation
If you want to make sure you're treating your facial skin right, avoid scented products with artificial colors or synthetic preservatives. We know it's hard, but there are also neutral products. Read labels carefully!
