Beauty Tip Of The Day 7 face washing mistakes ruining your skin Olamide Olarewaju | 14:30 | 13.06.2017 Drying the face with towels is bad for the face! See more habits that's messing up your skin...

Washing the face daily should be done for flawless, smooth and baby soft skin but sometimes it becomes counter productive.
Over exfoliating and cleansing the face ends up messing up with the PH balance and moisture needed to keep the skin tight and youthful.
Though washing/ properly cleansing the face is a sure way to keep acne and any form of blemishes at bay (washing the face however doesn't necessarily indicate deeply cleansing it!) .

To get 'clean' skin, washing the face with soap isn't enough as deep cleansers and toners should also be used to rid the skin completely of dirt and other form of dead skin that makes the skin breakout.
In doing the above however, some people go overboard and end up leaving the skin worse that it was.
1. Not washing the hands first
The hands carry germs most times when they are dirty so not washing the hands before washing the face only introduce germs which cause breakouts,acne and more.
2. Not using the 'correct type of water'
To keep the face clean, the pores should be well cleaned. After cleaning the skin with lukewarm water for instance use hot water which helps open up the pores for thorough cleansing and finish with cold water which helps to close them back.
3. Not using the right cleanser
Its important to always use the right cleanser for your skintype.

4. Not following the proper steps
It's best to follow a routine that keeps the face squeaky clean. Essentially start by removing make up first with wipes/makeup remover, cleanse then wash the skin and follow up with other routine.
5. Over exfoliating the face
Over exfoliating the skin causes it to break out instead get to know your skintype and keep exfoliating to about once weekly according to skintype.
6. Wearing makeup to bed
Never wear makeup to bed, it ends up clogging the pores which leaves the skin prone to serious blemishes.
7. Drying with towels
Drying the face with towels is bad for the face as it has exfoliating tendencies that ends up disturbing the skin instead let the face airdry.

By Roqeebah Olaoniye You may remember his face from April 2013 when almost every news outlet reported that the Saudi Arabian Police deported three men from the Kingdom for being too handsome. “Earlier this week, three men were forcibly removed from a culture festival in Saudi Arabia after religious police deemed the men “too handsome”. – UK’s Independent reported on the 26th of April 2013 . The Independent’s report relied on an “Arabic language newspaper Elaph”, which reported that a “festival official said the three Emiratis were taken out on the grounds they are too handsome and that the Commission [for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vices] members that concerns that female visitors could fall for them.” One of these three illegally handsome men turned out to be Omar Borkan Al-Gala: Ridiculously handsome right?
