Misunderstandings

Facial skin should be soft after using cleanser:

When washing your face, the cleansing ingredients in the cleanser will help remove dead skin cells and clean the sebum on the skin. Therefore, after using the cleanser, the skin will feel a little tight, and even a little sticky to the touch. This is a completely normal phenomenon and is a sign of clean skin.

Facial cleansers that contain a lot of fat will make your skin feel soft, which is not good at all because these moisturizing facial cleansers not only do not clean the oily layer on the skin, but the fat also clogs the pores, which can cause acne and dermatitis.

Facial cleanser should have multiple functions:

Women often look for facial cleansers with many combined functions such as: cleansing, brightening, moisturizing the skin... these multi-function facial cleansers are not good for the skin at all. The main function of facial cleanser is to clean, combining too many functions at the same time will make the skin cleansing function "weak". In addition, too many nutrients in a bottle of facial cleanser can easily irritate the skin, causing allergies or inflammation of the pores.

Wash your face with a clean new towel:

Using a face towel can only clean the surface of the skin but cannot clean the dirt deep inside the pores. Rubbing the cotton face towel and the face will create friction that can cause skin irritation.

Hot water cleans skin better:

When washing your face with high temperatures, the blood vessels under the skin dilate, the pores will widen, the skin will be drier and accelerate the formation of wrinkles. It is best to wash your face with water at 35oC and then rinse with cold water. At 35oC, the pores open, facilitating the removal of remaining waste, then the cold water will act to shrink the pores, making the skin "hydrated" and soft, smooth.

Use moisturizer immediately after washing your face:

This is a bad habit and over time can cause sagging and flabby skin. All day, the skin has to "carry" dozens of cosmetics, after washing the face is the time for the skin to rest. Therefore, let your skin dry with natural wind. 1 - 2 hours later, continue to care for your skin with moisturizer.

The more you wash your face, the cleaner it gets:

Washing your face too many times can strip your skin of its moisture balance and damage the epidermis, making your skin drier and losing its natural shine. So remember not to wash your face more than 3 times a day.

Wash each area of ​​the face equally thoroughly:

This is an unscientific habit. The T-zone on the face is where many sebum glands are concentrated, so this area is always oilier than other areas of the skin, so you should pay more attention to cleaning this area of ​​skin.

Facial massage once a week

Using a toothbrush to massage your face is an extremely simple and effective beauty secret. This method not only makes your skin whiter and brighter but also gradually reduces acne.

Prepare:

- An electric toothbrush, with short, even bristles and very soft bristles.

- Emollient cream or exfoliating cream.

Perform:

- Wash your face thoroughly. Apply cream all over your face.

- Next, use the electric toothbrush to gently massage the entire cheeks, chin, nose... Note that you should rotate the toothbrush in a circular motion, focusing mainly on the T-zone. Rinse your face with clean water and let your skin dry naturally.

- Finally, apply rose water and gently massage with your hands to firm the skin.
