There's nothing wrong with using bar soap on your body, but not recommended to be used on your face. Why you ask? Well bar soaps collect bacteria from your hands, body, soap scum, and other bacteria that build on top of it while in a bathroom. To eliminate the bacteria, it's better to use a liquid soap.
2. Sleeping in your Makeup
Don't forget to cleanse your face. When you go to sleep with makeup on your skin, the skin is unable to breathe, regenerate tissue, exfoliate dead surface cells and heal itself. I must admit…I have sinned and should repent because I'm constantly falling asleep before I even know it. However, whenever I catch myself I will usually cleanse and exfoliate my face when I wake up.
3. Sleeping on the Same Side of Your Face
We can’t always control where our head hits the pillow, but repeatedly snoozing in the same spot can cause fine lines to become permanently etched. You know those sleep lines you see in the mirror when you wake up in the morning, lol! This is because skin is scrunched up against the pillow over and over again. Let's eliminate this impurity.
4. Cleansing with Water that's too Hot
Using hot water can cause capillaries to break on the face. The capillary walls are very thin and elastic, so they are reactive to temperature. To keep skin balanced, always cleanse with lukewarm or tepid water.
5. Rubbing Your Eyes
The area around your eyes is the thinnest, most delicate and sensitive area of the face. It needs to be handled with extreme care. The more you rub it, the more it will stretch. Since there are no oil glands there, the skin has very little give. Repeated rubbing or pulling on the lids, especially when putting in contact lenses, can cause skin to slacken and fine lines to form.
6. Cleansing Your Face Before Your Hair
If you have sensitive skin, this can be a real no-no. Pores get clogged, leading to breakouts, especially along the hairline. Make sure you thoroughly cleanse away any residue from your face after rinsing your hair.
7. Petroleum Jelly
I saved this one for last because it was hard for me to put this one on hear but as a skin care expert, I know the cons and felt it was my duty to share. So first I would like to say that Petroleum jelly is good for dry skin and can hydrate you to no end…I love it on my body and great when using it to remove eye makeup.
On the other hand, it is a GAS! It's not good for your pores and it clogs up your pores and creates excessive oils on your face that create breakouts, acne and enlarged pores and oily skin. There I got it out…lol.
