You’re Using Hot Water when You Should Be Using Warm Water

clothing, vacation, swimming pool, sea, adventure, You might think that hot water is better at killing icky things, but it’s way too harsh for your skin. Hot water strips the natural moisture from inside your skin, which can leave you with dry, parched skin on your face. Warm water is perfectly good at removing products, dirt, debris and bacteria from your skin and helps preserve the hydration you need for healthy looking skin.

2

You Rub Your Skin Instead of Patting It Gently

hair, hairstyle, black hair, beauty, model, Your skin is the most delicate on your entire body so you should be treating it with daily tender loving care. When you finish washing your face, never rub it dry. You should be gently patting it with a soft towel. This gets rid of excess water, but doesn’t stretch and pull your skin, which can lead to fine lines and wrinkles.

You’re Using a Cleanser That is Wrong for You

clothing, hair, person, hairstyle, black hair, It’s time to end a bad relationship with your facial products right now! Assess your skin type. It might be oily, dry or normal. Whatever the case, look for a facial cleanser that is designed for that skin type. Using the wrong one won’t target the issues you’re dealing with, which means you won’t be solving the problem. Talk to your dermatologist if you need help figuring out your skin type.

You Wash Too Often on a Daily Basis

person, fetish model, black hair, model, beauty, Girls with oily skin are especially prone to this mistake. You might think you need to wash more often to remove the grease, but the opposite is actually true. Experts recommend washing no more than twice a day. Some girls can even get away with washing only once a day. Girls with normal and dry skin should only be washing once or twice a day too. More than that and your skin will definitely start to suffer.

5

You Use an Exfoliation Cleanser Every Single Day

hair, blond, hairstyle, bangs, long hair, Yes, exfoliation is great for removing dead skin cells and residual gunk lingering on your face, but too much isn’t a good thing. Experts say that two or three times per week is plenty to keep your pores clean and to prevent breakouts. More than that and you could just have irritated, red or raw skin on your face.

You do a Quickie Rinse Instead of Making Sure All Your Cleanser is Gone

person, woman, blond, beauty, model, Rinsing might seem like a no-brainer, but many girls, myself included, do a rinse that is way too quick. This means you wind up with residual cleanser on your face. Make it a habit and you may wind up with breakouts due to clogged pores. Make sure you rinse well all over your face. It only takes a couple extra seconds!

7

You Don’t Finish the Job with Moisturizer

clothing, arm, model, leg, human leg, Applying moisturizer after washing your face is a step you should never skip. The best time to apply moisturizer is when your skin is still damp from being washed. That lotion or cream locks the moisture into your skin, holding it there to hydrate your face. This results in fresh, dewy, radiant and young looking skin.

Which of these mistakes are you making? I’ve made them all a time or two, but I promise that it’s super easy to fix the problem. What changes will you be making today?

After u wash your face

If you exoliate too much you will damage your skin. It is good to do 2-3 weekly but no more cause it really takes away natural oil from the skin and then in response to that your skin produces more oil which will end up making your skin look even more greasy. Trust me I have dealt with oily skin all my life. Excess exoliation is a NO-NO!

@Dey45 that is a brilliant point! I will do that from now on. Although I was my hands constantly throughout the day.

Thanks

I only wash my face when I wake up, cold water.. Isn't cold water good for pores? Lol I'm no skin expert, but I have oily skin :P

Beware: some drugstore cleansers are made to clear up your skin at first, then make you break out more over time so you'll keep buying their products.

This helps so much with cleaning our face 😊 Been doing some wrong things but now I know it's wrong ❤️

I'm using the clean and clear blackhead exfoliater twice a day almost everday! I think it's time I stopped doing this.

Isabella it would probably be better to wash your face at night than in the morning, that way you're not constantly sleeping on a dirty pillow and because you get the most germs throughout the day

Thanks
