Your skin is in danger… 5 signs that warn of a wrong cleaning routine that will destroy your beauty
Dermatology experts revealed that the facial cleansing process represents the basic foundation of any skin care routine, warning that making common mistakes in this step may lead to adverse results that harm the health of the skin instead of protecting it.
A report based on recent studies indicated that about 80% of people make at least one mistake while cleaning their faces, especially using hand soap or body wash, or using only water. The report also stressed the importance of nightly cleansing to remove pollutants and dirt that accumulate throughout the day and affect the skin’s protective barrier.
5 indicators of poor cleaning
Experts have identified five warning signs that indicate that the method of washing your face is incorrect:
1. Feeling tightness in the skin: This indicates excessive cleansing and removal of the natural protective layer (hydrolipidic film).
2. Recurring redness: This may result from using very hot or cold water, or rubbing the face with excessive force.
3. Severe dryness: Feeling an immediate need to moisturize the skin immediately after washing means that the lotion contains irritating substances.
4. Tingling or itching: The appearance of an allergic reaction when applying subsequent products indicates that the skin barrier has been damaged during the cleansing step.
5. Oily layer: The feeling of an oily texture after finishing means that the lotion is very heavy and does not suit the skin type.
Expert advice
Pharmacist and dermatologist Lina De Pons recommended the need to moderate the amount of lotion used and make sure to rinse it well with lukewarm water, stressing that choosing the appropriate product for your skin type is the first step to achieving a healthy and sustainable appearance.
