- Most of us are quite confident about ourselves about hygiene. We’ve all learned a lot about the rules of cleanliness from elementary school and have been repeatedly warned to keep our hands and nails clean.
- In fact, self-care is not that simple and consists of a lot of attention. Here are the hygiene mistakes you made without realizing.
Touching your face with your hands
- Do you catch yourself touching your face frequently? This is pretty bad news for you. Because every time you do this, you contaminate the dirt on your hands. These come back to you as acne and skin problems. For this reason, break this habit and do not touch your face with your hands during the day.
Washing your face after training
- After exercising, your skin sweats and you wash your hands and face immediately to relax. However, the best thing to do after exercise is to splash some water on your face. Because you wipe your face after washing it and feed all the oil and dirt accumulated on your skin to your skin. For this reason, washing face before exercise would be a much better choice.
Taking a hot shower
- There is nothing better than waking up on a cold morning and taking a hot, steamy shower. However, while this feels great, hot water doesn’t work for your skin. Hot water opens the pores that promote dehydration and further increases the dehydration by washing the skin’s protective emollient oils. This means a dry and itchy skin.
Applying lotion too late after showering
- You usually skip using lotion to moisturize the skin after a shower in the morning. Because you are in a hurry. But we have bad news for you: applying moisturizer in the afternoon will not do you any good. For this reason, it would be best to apply lotion as soon as you get out of the shower without drying.
Using soap in the shower every day
- If you struggle with dry skin in cold and harsh winters, try using soap less often in the shower or bath. (Except for personal areas). Reduce the use of soap on non-perineal areas, once to twice a week.
