1. Washing with hot water

Many girls love to lie in a hot bath or take a hot shower after a hard day. And of course, they wash off makeup and cleanse their faces with the same hot water. Did you know that washing your face with hot water above 37 degrees is strongly discouraged? Our skin does not like hot water at all, and water of this temperature irritates it, expands the pores, and makes it fight stress. So, the ideal temperature of water for washing is room temperature. That is when in contact with the skin with water, you do not feel either heat or cold.

2. Washing with the wrong cleanser

Your cleanser should be selected solely based on your skin type. If you observe peeling, redness, rashes, or oily sheen immediately after washing or an hour and a half after, this means that the product contains a lot of surfactants (surfactants) or, conversely, there are few detergents in your cleanser (it is too delicate for your skin) ) and cannot fully cope with the dirt. In these cases, do not spare money and immediately throw away the product and run to the beautician for the selection of the right cosmetics for your skin!

3. Aggressive washing with hands or sponge

A huge number of accessories for washing and skin care have appeared on the cosmetics market, but not all brands of such products pay attention to how often it is necessary to change all these sponges and sponges and what kind of care they need. As a result, you put more and more dirt on your face with each wash.

The best recommendation, in this case, is to apply the product and wash the skin with your hands. However, a number of rules must also be observed here. To begin with, the product must be foamed in the palms, and only then gently applied to the face, without stretching or massaging the skin. Rinse off the face with water.

4. Washing with gadgets

Marketers of popular cosmetic brands recommend using their devices for washing almost every day in the morning and evening.

Of course, skin cleansing is given to such gadgets much easier: they remove the stratum corneum well and deeply cleanse it. However, do not forget that such washing, in addition to its benefits, has a rather aggressive effect on your skin, which means that the daily use of such products threatens the appearance of inflammation and wrinkles. That is why cosmetologists recommend using such devices no more than 1-2 times a week, provided that they are thoroughly cleaned after each use.

5. Washing with a small amount of product

Better not save on gel or foam cleanser. An insufficient amount of the product will not completely cleanse your skin of dirt and sebaceous gland product, which can cause clogging of the pores and all the unpleasant consequences. 2 clicks on the pump - that's how much product is needed at a time to effectively cleanse the skin of the face.

6. Washing with a scrub

Scrubs and peels, as well as gadgets for washing, certainly do a good job of deep cleansing the skin of the face and removing dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, but are they really safe? In order not to destroy the protective layer of the skin with your own hands, it is recommended to use such products only 1-2 times a week. For the rest of the time, pick up more delicate cosmetic products.

7. Washing with micellar water

Entire battles are played out on the network regarding the unsuitability of tap water for washing your face. People complain about salts and heavy metals in their composition, which can destroy the skin and lead to premature aging. Such "adepts of health" prefer ordinary water to wipe the skin with micellar lotions and makeup removers.

Experts believe that no micellar water is able to cleanse the skin of a layer of fat and dirt that has accumulated over the whole day and even overnight. Only water and a sufficient amount of cleanser will cope with this. And if you use micellar products or lotions, then please wash them off immediately with water.

And remember! Inadequate cleansing of the skin or applying a day cream to an unclean face can lead to inflammation, skin irritation, redness, and itching.
