Stop Over-Cleansing! Your Skin is More Delicate Than You Think 🫧
Think of your skin like tofu—if you scrub too hard, it breaks apart!
➡️ Skin concerns like acne, redness, enlarged pores, and loss of elasticity all stem from a weakened skin barrier—and cleansing is the #1 way it gets damaged.
If any of these habits sound familiar, it’s time to change your cleansing routine starting today!
❌ 5 Cleansing Habits You Need to Change ASAP
1️⃣ Using an exfoliater every single day when you have sensitive skin and not hydrating after exfoliating
Exfoliating too often can damage skin instead of helping it.
🚫 Over-exfoliation can lead to increased oil production and redness.
✅ Instead of daily use, limit exfoliation to a few times per week.
2️⃣ Using Hot or Cold Water for Cleansing
You might have heard:
🔹 Hot water opens pores
🔹 Cold water tightens pores
❌ That’s a myth! Extreme temperatures only make your skin more sensitive.
✅ Stick to lukewarm water throughout your cleansing routine for balanced skin.
3️⃣ Scrubbing Your Face Too Hard While Washing
Your skin isn’t a dirty dish—stop scrubbing! 🚫
✅ Wash your hands first before touching your face.
✅ Instead of using your palms, use your ring finger with a light, circular motion.
✅ When rinsing, avoid rubbing your face with your hands! Splash and let the water do the work!
4️⃣ Using Just One Cleanser for Both Morning & Night
Many people use only one cleanser!
🔹 Morning cleanse: Use a gentle, low-pH cleanser to maintain your skin's natural balance.
🔹 Night cleanse: Since SPF counts as makeup, start with a cleansing product that removes impurities, then follow up with water based cleanser
5️⃣ Rubbing Your Face with a Toner Pad After Cleansing
If you’re using toner pads like a third cleanse… STOP! ❌
🔹 Harsh wiping = More irritation + More sensitivity 🚨
✅ Instead of rubbing, leave it on your skin for 5 minutes (like a sheet mask) for calming and hydration.
Let’s keep your skin barrier strong & healthy! 💖✨
