5 common face washing mistakes that you should avoid
Stop scrubbing
Another common mistake people make is overly scrubbing their skin.
Although scrubbing will remove dead skin cells, oils and dirt helping to make skin appear flawless, it will also remove healthy cells from the skin, according to experts.
This can lead to irritation, just in the same way as adhering to an overly-complicated regime.
Dr Pratsou said: 'I am not a fan of physical exfoliation on the face because it can often be traumatic to the skin, and cause irritation, dryness or breakouts.'
Instead she recommends using a chemical exfoliator, such as glycolic acid and retinols, as these work over about 10 minutes to gently exfoliate, with noticeable results in two weeks.
