7.Pat, Don’t Rub, Your Face Dry
Don’t ruin the perfect face cleansing by rubbing your skin dry. Rubbing can cause abrasion to your skin, which can lead to irritation and inflammation. Instead, rinse your face with tepid water, then pat it with a clean, dry cotton towel or washcloth. Don’t dry it all the way — the idea is to leave some moisture for your moisturizer to lock in.
8.Go Easy on Exfoliation
Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, allowing moisturizers to better penetrate your skin. But abrasive scrubs can damage dry skin, so exfoliate no more than once a week. Skip fruit scrubs, which can be harsh. Instead, try a scrub with rice enzymes or papain. These ingredients are gentle and a safe way to exfoliate. Exfoliating should never hurt. If it does, stop or try a gentler product.
