Wondering why you never achieve the perfect complexion? One of these skin care sins may be to blame. Below are three things many girls do while washing their face that you should avoid.
- Washing with scalding hot water. While hot steam can be great for opening up your pores before cleansing, daily face washes with extremely hot water is only drying out your skin. Turn down the temperature!
- Exfoliating with a salt scrub. Salt can be abrasive on your skin, so choose something gentler! We love Yes To Carrots Nourishing Exfoliating Skin Cleanser ($9.50 at Walgreens).
- You’re using soap. Soap can strip away the natural oils that skin needs to stay balanced. Opt for an oil cleanser or cream cleanser instead, and make sure the ingredients on the label don’t include “sodium laureth sulfate.” We recommend Korres Milk Proteins Foaming Cream Cleanser ($21 at Sephora), which is formulated with milk proteins, amino acids and vegetable oils.
