5 common face washing mistakes that you should avoid

 

But there is no 'one-size fits all' when it comes to skincare. Your routine should be unique and tailored to your skin type, according to Dr Pratsou. 'Do not feel you need to follow a particular regime because someone famous has recommended it,' she added. Dr Salome Dharamshi, a dermatologist at a private clinic in Birmingham, believes that 'less is more' and suggests sticking to a simple routine, such as one that has two to four steps. She said: 'Wash your face in the morning, apply moisturiser and SPF. 'In the evening before you go to bed double wash the face, remove your make-up and then wash again gently to make sure the skin is clean and apply moisturiser.' However, experts urge people to stay away from bars of soap and use other gentle facial washes. This is because bars can be abrasive and dry out your skin.
