When washing their face, many people rub their skin vigorously believing that this will clean the skin better. But in reality, scrubbing your skin too hard can cause your skin to become irritated!

This is because our facial skin has a protective layer that can keep moisture in to keep the skin healthy. Rubbing the skin too hard will damage the lining which can cause a lot of skin problems.

2. Using Water That’s Too Hot

Washing your face with hot water feels good, but it can make your skin dry and easily irritated.

Water that is too hot can also strip your skin of its natural moisture, which can make your skin more prone to wrinkles and fine lines. We recommend using room temperature water or warm water that is comfortable on the skin.
