What to do if your skin is over-cleansed?

Speaking of skin, some people have very clean skin, which is already a state of mind. Is this healthy or unhealthy? Let’s take a look at the symptoms of over-cleansing the skin. What to do if you over-cleans your skin?

Speaking of skin, you don’t have to clean it so clean all the time. Too clean can be bad for the skin. Let’s take a look at the signs of over-cleansing the skin. What to do if you over-clean your skin:

1. Cleansing - Makeup removal

You need to remove makeup whether you are wearing makeup or not, because even if you are just applying sunscreen or primer, you still need makeup remover products. If you don't wear makeup, using a refreshing and mild makeup remover will cause relatively less damage to the skin. However, if you still use makeup remover oil, it will easily cause pores to become clogged and cause acne. Therefore, do not overdo it when removing makeup and choose the right products. In addition, it is not recommended to use makeup remover products every day without makeup.

2. Cleansing - Washing your face

Washing your face too often.

Now there are problems such as environmental pollution, especially the pollution is more serious on foggy days, so many people feel that there is more and more dirt attached to their faces, and they must wash their faces frequently to remove these dirt and protect the skin. But in fact, washing your face too often will only disrupt the water and oil balance of your skin, which is not good. Therefore, it is not advisable to wash your face too often. It is actually sufficient to wash your face twice a day depending on the situation.

3. Excessive use of cleansing products

Many people think that the more cleansing products they use, the cleaner their face will be. In fact, that is just an illusion. Using too much will not only fail to clean thoroughly, but may also leave residue on the face and damage the skin. Therefore, the amount of facial cleanser used should be moderate. Squeezing out 2cm will last for a long time. For cleansing mousse, one press is enough, and at most two presses are enough. Don't use too much and put a burden on your skin.

4. Cleaning time is too long

Some people think that the longer you leave cleansing products on your face, the more dirt they can remove, so they apply cleansing products to their face and massage in circles for a few minutes before washing it off. In fact, if the cleansing and massaging time is too long, dirt will be left on your face. Therefore, cleansing products should not be left on your face for more than one minute. After massaging in circles for one minute, rinse it off with clean water. This is the correct way.

5. Long-term use of deep cleaning products

Some girls think that ordinary cleansing is not enough to clean their faces, so they use deep cleansing products, such as deep cleansing masks, etc. However, long-term use of alkaline deep cleansing products will destroy the sebum on the surface of the skin, making the skin dry and sensitive. Therefore, you should pay attention to the moderate use of deep cleansing products. If you want to use a cleansing mask, it is enough to use it once a week or so. There is no need to apply it every day.
