Washing a face is not only a matter of face, but also the most basic step of skin care.
Face, wash every day, but many people wash wrong! It will also bring many skin problems.
The following 8 mistakes in washing your face may have been made.
Myth 1: Remove makeup every day without makeup,
There is such a seemingly reasonable statement:
After a whole day of dust, sunshine, sunscreen and other stimulation, pores will accumulate a lot of dirty things, no matter whether you wear makeup or not, you have to remove makeup to clean thoroughly.
Stop it!
Without makeup, you don’t need to remove makeup. Ordinary facial cleanser can effectively clean these dirty things.
Many makeup remover products should be used in conjunction with cosmetic cotton. During makeup remover, skin should be rubbed repeatedly, which may damage stratum corneum and skin barrier.
Myth 2: Alternating hot and cold water can shrink pores,
There is also such a seemingly reasonable statement:
Hot water can expand pores, while cold water can shrink pores. Wash your face alternately with hot and cold water, which can wash you cleaner and shrink your pores.
Stop it!
Alternating hot and cold water can really make the skin look firmer for the time being, but it is the blood vessels on the face that are more affected by the water temperature.
If you want to decontaminate and collect pores and wash your face with overheated and supercooled water, it will excessively stimulate blood vessels and be detrimental to the skin.
Especially for people with sensitive skin, cold and hot stimulation is likely to aggravate skin sensitivity.
Myth 3: Face Washing Water and Vinegar Can Whiten and Rejuvenate Skin
There is another seemingly reasonable statement:
Acid can promote the regeneration of skin cells. Washing face with vinegar-added water has whitening and freckle removing effects.
Stop it!
Some people do feel their skin whitening and smoothing after washing their faces with white vinegar, because acetic acid has the effect of softening and removing some cutin.
But! Washing your face with vinegar-added water for a long time is likely to destroy the skin barrier function. The skin is becoming more and more sensitive, causing itching, stabbing pain, red blood streaks and peeling.
Apart from vinegar, milk, rice washing water, lemon juice… don’t wipe any food on your face.
Myth 4: The more foam the cleanser, the better
I don’t know when what started, there is such a saying:
The more foam there is in facial cleanser, the stronger the cleaning ability. Buy facial cleanser with rich foam.
Don’t buy it!
Foamy facial cleanser, indeed generally will wash cleaner. However, it is good to use what facial cleanser. You can’t just look at the cleansing power, but the most important thing is to look at the skin quality.
For people with oily skin, it is more suitable to use facial cleanser with more foam, which is clean and comfortable.
However, people with dry skin or sensitive skin do not have much grease to wash. Using facial cleanser with more foam will cause excessive cleaning, making skin tight and uncomfortable.
Myth 5: Rubbing with Salt or White Sugar Can Remove Blackheads
There is such a seemingly reasonable statement:
Use salt or white sugar to rub and massage on the nose to rub blackheads out.
Stop it!
Salt and white sugar have uneven particle sizes. In the process of rubbing the skin, it is easy to draw some tiny wounds. Frequent use will damage the skin barrier and make the skin thinner and more sensitive.
The friction is cool for a while, and the skin damage is really painful.
Myth 6: Washing with Towel Has Good Effect,
I don’t know where to come up with such a statement:
Washing your face with your hands is too gentle to rub down dirty things. Rubbing with a towel will make you cleaner.
Stop it!
The face is not an elbow and can’t stand the pulling and rubbing of great strength.
Always rub your face with a towel, the skin will become thinner and thinner and more sensitive over time. Especially cheekbones, which are prominent parts, are likely to cause stabbing pain and even long color spots.
Similarly, all kinds of facial cleaning tools such as facial sponges and facial brushes that are cleaned by friction should not be used frequently.
Myth 7: After washing your face, air-dry naturally and keep it moist.
There is another seemingly reasonable statement:
Natural air drying can make water stay on the face longer and make it more hydrating and moisturizing.
Go wipe your face!
Slow evaporation of water will make the face drier.
When air-dried, water evaporation will take away heat, reduce temperature, stimulate skin vasoconstriction, slow blood flow, reduce skin support, and become drier and drier.
Myth 8: Frequent [Deep Cleaning]
There is also such a seemingly reasonable statement:
Facial cleanser and water can only clean the surface, and only deep cleaning can truly clean the depths of pores.
Stop it!
Our skin has a cycle of growth and aging, and the aging stratum corneum will naturally fall off. Most people’s skin is quite healthy and does not need the so-called [deep cleaning].
If the skin is rough, it is enough to remove cutin once a week.
If you use deep cleaning products such as scrub cream and tear mask too frequently, it will destroy the normal stratum corneum and damage the skin.
Especially for people with dry skin and sensitive skin, if deep cleaning products are not used well, it is likely to ruin their faces.
Have you also been caught in the above 8 misunderstandings?
Under the guidance of these misunderstandings, many people have washed their faces over and over again, buying one cleaning product and one cleaning tool after another, but the skin is getting thinner and thinner, and the more painful it is…
Let your face go!
Washing your face is really exquisite, but it is really not so complicated. You should do this:
Everyone has a love of beauty, but if you listen to unreliable statements, excessive pursuit of [cleaning] will lead to skin damage, tingling, peeling and red blood streaks are light.
In case [friction] becomes sensitive skin, it is really too late to cry.
If you want to have healthy skin, start with washing your face correctly.
