Face Washing
Don'ts
Here are several things that one should avoid when
washing their faces. Remember that it is our aim to
make your skin more healthier and beautiful.
1.
Do not wash face too often. Washing your
face doesn't mean you have to wash it every hour of
the day...Experts recommend ONLY twice to
thrice face washing daily. Frequent washing may dry
out your skin thus increasing your risk to
irritations that may even cause acne. Moreover, if
the skin is too dry, your glands will produce more
oil that will compensate for the lost ones. This
means that your risk in getting too much sebum also
increases.
2.
Do not use harsh soaps and cleansers.
Never use bar soaps or bar cleansers. The
ingredients that keep these soaps and cleansers in
bar form can clog your pores and irritate your
skin... plus, they can help foster breakouts.
Harsh soap and cleansers can strip off the skin’s
natural lipids thus irritate your skin. Choose
cleansers that are mild and non- comedogenic, hypo-
allergenic, and soap- free. There are several
products like this in the market like Cetaphil, Burt
Bee’s or Neutrogena. Dilute your cleanser with
enough water when you wash... The less concentrated
your cleanser, the more gentle it will be.
3.
Do not use too much cleanser. Even if you
are using mild cleansers, it is best to dilute it
with water (a palmful will be sufficient). The less
concentrated your cleanser, the gentler it will be
for your face.
4.
Do not use cleansers containing alcohol.
Alcohol will upset your face’s natural ph level,
thus causing it to be irritated. Using toners and
astringents may feel wonderful... but over-using
these will irritate your skin!
5.
Do not just use products. Instead, know your skin
type. For dry skin. Look for products with
cocoa butter or glycerin. For oily skin, look for
products with benzoyl peroxide, citric acid or
salicylic acid. For sensitive skin, look for aloe
vera, almond oil or chamomile.
6.
Do not under rinse. Residues left behind can
actually clog your pores. Facial cleansers can
leave an invisible residue behind which can clog
your pores. Rinse three times, then rinse again!
7.
Do not exfoliate often. Removing dead skin
cells can make your skin less dull but you should
not overdo it or you will injure your skin. Too
much scrubbing will make your skin dull and flaky.
Avoid abrasive facial pads and grainy facial
scrubs.
Remember, in everything that you do, simplicity and
moderation is often that key. Do not abuse
your skin. Go easy and gentle. And put
your best face forward.
