5 common face washing mistakes that you should avoid

 

You're over washing

Washing your face twice a day is the optimum amount, according to dermatologists. Keeping it to just morning and night will help wash away dirt and grease and keep imperfections at bay. But, if you start trying to clean it any more than that, you could end up with dry, irritated or even spotty skin.

Dr Dharamshi explained that over washing not only causes dryness but acne, too. She said: 'Over washing the face can increase over production of sebum, which is one of the reasons for acne. 'It can also damage the skin barrier, cause redness and dehydration of the skin.'
