Are You A Culprit Of These 5 Daily Mistakes That Cause Acne?

5 daily mistakes that cause you pimples without you realizing it.

1) You don’t wash your hands before washing your face

Hands up, if you are one of them. Luckily, I have been a good girl. I will always wash my hands before touching my skin or eating. Well taught by my parents. It has become a habit from young. 
If your hands are dirty and start lathering with your facial wash, chances are, the facial wash suds will be loaded with the bacteria on your hands and then all over your face. 


2) Your hair constantly touching your face 

When the weather is sweltering, our hair gets greasy and sweaty faster, and when these hair strands comes into contact with your skin, it deposits dirt, excess oil and bacteria, all leading to clogged pores and eventually zit breakouts.

3) You are exfoliating too frequently 

Regular exfoliation sloughs off dead skin that can clog pores and cause flare ups. However, when you overdo it by scrubbing daily or using too harsh products, it just gets rid of healthy, normal skin cells too and starts chipping away at skin’s protective barrier. When skin’s defenses are down, it becomes imbalanced and more susceptible to acne and pimples.

4) You don't have a dedicated face towel

Always have a dedicated face towel on hand, only for cleaning your face, and keep this towel in your room instead of in the toilet. This ensures that the towel that is touching your face is as clean as possible, without germs from other parts of your body. And of course, wash this face towel regularly with a gentle detergent as soap particles from detergent can stick to fabric (if you properly rinsed off) and transfer onto skin causing irritation.


5) You are in denial about how dirty everything is

From their fingers, to makeup tools, to mobile phones, towels, and pillowcases, a lot of these are just not properly cleaned or changed often enough. It wouldn’t hurt to be a bit OCD when it comes to your face. You can’t be too careful keeping your face clean and free of zit-causing germs and bacteria. Clean that mobile phone daily with an anti-bacterial wipe, change pillowcases and towels regularly, wash or change makeup brushes often, wash your hands frequently.
