Seven taboos for washing your face in autumn

Washing your face is something everyone must do every day. It can make people feel refreshed to start a new day, and it can also make people wipe off the dust and end a beautiful day. For beauty-loving girls, washing your face is an indispensable step in beauty every day. So how can washing your face really nourish your skin? What should you pay attention to when washing your face?

Taboo 1: Dry your face with a wet towel after washing

Many girls have the habit of wiping their face with a wet towel hanging in the bathroom for a long time after washing their face. However, as everyone knows, a wet towel hanging in the bathroom for a long time is conducive to the growth of various microorganisms, and washing and wiping the face with a wet towel is tantamount to smearing various bacteria on the face. Towels should always be kept clean and dry, and you should use a dry towel to dry your face after washing it.

Taboo 2: No maintenance after washing your face

Some girls, especially those with oily skin, feel that their faces secrete a lot of oil, and it doesn’t matter if they don’t take care of their skin after washing their faces. However, the skin will become dry after washing, and when the cold winter wind blows, the skin will be more prone to dehydration, resulting in the skin becoming more and more oily.

Taboo 3: Washing your face with extremely cold or hot water

Too cold water will shrink the pores, making it difficult to wash away dirt and easily dry out the skin, causing it to peel. Too hot water may cause excessive dilation of blood vessels, causing the skin to become loose and shrink, and it will also wash away oil, accelerating skin aging. But if you wash your face alternately with cold water, it will be beneficial to your skin rather than harmful. Therefore, avoid using too cold or too hot water for a long time when washing your face.

Taboo 4: No need for facial cleanser for oily skin

Some women believe that the natural color of the skin can only be preserved if it is not broken down by chemicals. Therefore, they often wash their faces with clean water without using any alkaline substances, thinking that this is the only way to beautify themselves naturally and restore their original color. In fact, this idea is extremely naive. People who have made similar attempts will find that their skin has changed drastically after a few months. Not only has it not paid off, but it has also disrupted the skin's normal metabolism. In particular, some women have oily skin, so it is even more important for them to wash their faces with facial cleansers or slightly alkaline facial soaps.

If oily skin is not cleaned for 3 days, it may accumulate dust and dirt that is difficult to remove and will be difficult to wash clean. You must go to the hospital for examination and appropriate treatment. People with oily skin should wash their faces with soap or oily facial cleansers in the morning and evening. Use cooler water in the morning and hotter water in the evening, or wash your face alternately with hot and cold water at intervals during the same period. This will better clean and protect the skin.

Taboo 5: Washing your face with a basin

Not to mention whether the washbasin is clean, just the water in it will become more and more turbid after the interaction between hands and face, and finally become unclean. It is far better to wash your face with your hands under running water: rub your hands clean first, then wash your face with your hands. Each wash is cleaner than the last, and it won’t take more than a few washes to be all clean.

Taboo 6: Using too much cleanser

When washing your face, no matter what kind of cleanser you use, don't use too much, and a good cleanser doesn't need to be used that much on your face. Before applying to your face, lather the cleanser in the palm of your hand. Many people forget this step, but it is the most important one.

Taboo 7: Using a facial cleanser that is highly irritating

When the skin produces too much oil, many people like to use a foaming facial cleanser with strong degreasing power. However, in early autumn, the skin's oil secretion decreases. If you use a strong oil-control facial cleanser, it will make the skin drier. Therefore, you should choose a milder facial cleanser. People with dry skin can choose a more moisturizing facial cleanser.
