Some people wash their faces several times a day in pursuit of fresh skin, and even wash them every time they come back from going out. However, excessive cleansing can damage the skin's natural barrier, causing the skin to lose necessary oils and moisture, become dry and sensitive, and even cause the phenomenon of "oily outside and dry inside".

Correct approach: Generally speaking, it is enough to wash your face once in the morning and evening every day. If you have oily skin, you can add one more cleansing at noon depending on the situation, but you must choose a mild cleansing product and avoid using abrasive or strong oil-removing facial cleansers.

Many people believe that rubbing hard when washing your face can better remove dirt and keratin and make the skin smoother. However, this practice is not only easy to damage the skin barrier, causing skin sensitivity and redness, but also may accelerate skin aging, fine lines and sagging.

Correct approach: When washing your face, use your fingertips to gently massage the skin, clean your face in a circular motion, and avoid pulling and rubbing hard. Especially sensitive areas such as the eye and mouth should be treated gently.

Foam-rich cleansing products often give people the illusion of strong cleaning power, so they are favored by many people. However, the amount of foam does not directly reflect the cleaning ability of the product. On the contrary, some high-foam products add too many surfactants to create rich foam, which may irritate and dry the skin.

Correct approach: When choosing cleansing products, you should choose according to your skin type and needs, rather than blindly pursuing foam. For dry skin and sensitive skin, you should choose mild, low-foam or non-foaming cleansing products; for oily skin, you can choose cleansing products with good oil control effect, but you should also pay attention to the mildness of the product.

After washing your face, your skin is in a relatively dry state. If you do not take care of your skin in time, your skin will easily lose moisture and become dry and rough. In addition, the pores on the surface of your skin are open after washing your face. If you do not apply skin care products in time, dust and pollutants from the outside world will more easily enter the pores and cause skin problems. 

Correct approach: You should immediately take care of your skin after washing your face. First, use toner or lotion to replenish moisture for your skin, and then use lotion or cream to lock in moisture to form a protective film. For skin that requires special care, such as dryness, sensitivity or dullness, you can also add essence, eye cream and other skin care products as needed.
