5 Skincare Myths Debunked By A Skincare Therapist
I spend many hours of my day answering these 5 common myths regarding skincare and how to help improve your skin. I thought it might be time to spill the beans on my answers!
So, are you?
"In the years of studying and taking care of skins in Australia there is one common lesson I tend to teach everyone: How to Cleanse Your Skin correctly!" says Michelle from Skin Nerd, creator of The Cleansing Cloth.
We often think washing your face is a no brainer, that the act of cleansing is easy, its cleansing correctly that is the issue!
Most of us do the following to wash our face: splash remove, don't use cleanser of a morning only at night, use cold water in fear of creating capillary damage and the list goes on. Don't feel ashamed if you have done one or more of the following. These are skills you have either been taught to do from a fellow skin therapist (crazy hey), read or watched on social media or just followed in the suit of your product recommendations.
Unfortunately these techniques are all wrong! 25 years + in the industry has taught me that cleansing correctly is the key to all skin health and goals. If you don't get the foundations correct then nothing follows in suit.
The bacterial resistant fabric means you are washing your skin with a safe and hygienic product that also ensures its gentle enough to protect your skin.
Woven fabrics such as face washer and flannels are dyed a lovely colour to hide the mould that forms in between the weave - this will always occur within 12-14 weeks of constant use, even if you wash it. Most of us hold onto our face washers for more than a year - even though they smell clean mould has developed in that time and we wash our face with them day in day out. The fabric texture can also be a little harsh for some skin types.
Splash removing means we unbalance the PH by just using water and also leave behind everything that the cleanser has softened - its really the towel we dry our face with that removes the product so NO SPLASH REMOVE!
Facial wipes - need we same more than the word CHEMICAL!
